 Poster: A snowHead

I am going away to Val D'Isere in a couple of weeks and some pals have baulked at the prices for food (as they are the same in Euros as last year) and with the exchange rate as it is, I agree!
There doesn't seem to be any info on here for restaurants in resorts and it might be a good idea if there was, as I'm sure plenty of people could offer sound advice and reviews. For example one in Val d'isere is the Quicksilver bar at the rear of the Quicksilver shop. It does the best burgers I've ever tasted. They aren't too expensive (£12) and make a sound alternative to some of the pricier and somewhat poorer places.
I'm no IT geek so wouldn't know where to start with a format but just thought it was worth a mention.
Might avoid lots of spoilt nights for people on here!

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

No it isn't, it isn't! I think a restaurant 'sticky' classified by resort, would be a fantastic idea! Though I suppose it would also be fine if people who wrote trip reports could simply remember the foodies amongst us, and include restos in their reports.

Jumping Jack Flash, if you think £12 isn't too expensive for a burger you should be skiing in Courchevel. You can get a better one in Tocade for half the price.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Jumping Jack Flash,
The Tocade in Val D sells the Americane Burger for €4.50 the same price as the frites.
The only thing I don't like about Tocade is their dining room is too cold.

Jumping Jack Flash, I think it's a good idea as well! There was a thread running a while back on mountain restaurants in La Plagne, to which I was a contributor (I do like my food!). I agree with Hurtle - let's have a resort restaurant 'sticky'. Or (perhaps better, but obviously more work to set up) a separate section along the lines of Trip Reports... After all, bars & restaurants are a big part of the holiday for many of us!

Jumping Jack Flash, with regards to Val, we were there a few weeks ago, & can recommend the restaurant half-way down the Face for lunch - the Boeuf Bourguignon plat du jour at €12 was wonderful! The place at the foot of the pistes down into La Daille (can't remember the name, but it's directly in front of you as you come down OK or Orange) was pretty good as well - we just went to the downstairs snack-bar (very reasonably priced) but the upstairs restaurant looked worth a try, & the place seemed very popular with various instructors, which may be a good sign...

I would like to see it as a sticky and will take the time to set it up with headings etc. The only thing is, I don't know how to. If anyone could explain how to go about it, then I will.

What can I expect to pay in Chamonix this season?
|
Chamonix mountain restaurants are generally expensive and poor quality. But there are a couple of places in Le Tour that are worth a visit. There's a good place off the beaten track, a bit of walk up and to the left of the Autannes chair. Steak and chips is about the only thing on the menu but is great value at 10 euros. Be sure to have cash on you tho as this is not the kind of place that takes cards. The second mention-worthy place is near the bottom of the Posettes drag. Good menu with soup, salad and cheesey potatoey stuff at reasonable prices and served with a smile.

You know it makes sense.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced restaurants in chamonix by night? Also, where are the best happy hours fora "reasonable" (if thats possible!) priced beer? is there a happy hour crawl (there was one in queenstown, NZ when i did my season there)?!?!?!
Cheers

Monkey bar in Cham sud is the cheapest beer in town they do 1euro pints at around 4 o'clock daily I think and two for 1s for a time after that. Chambre 9 opposite the train station does 2 for 1 on spirits between 8 and 10 o'clock. Casa Valerio for the best pizza in town and at reasonable prices. Caveau also good.

So the idea of having a sticky for this seems to be a good one (and it's already yielded cheap pints in Chamonix!) so how can I go about creating this?
