Hello all
Any idea on where is the best value/where to avoid this season? We are trying not to spend a fortune, but OH insists on dining in, so didn't like my idea of packed lunches!
I am happy with chips and a vin chaud, he prefers something a little more substantial.
Many thanks in advance, we are flying out on the 1st March, can't wait!
Lucy

I really liked the pizza which was pretty cheap by EK standards in a resturant at the start of the really flat bit of verte

rambotion, believe that is Marmottes. Also reputed to do a very good hot chocolate.
Les Tufs, between base of Funival and base of the bubble lift does excellent food. Their buffet (on the first floor) is very good value.

The restaurant at the base of the old marmottes lift seemed to be the cheapest on the mountain. Poulet frites for 8.50 Euro seemed very cheap compared to all the other places we went to.

Lucylou, in Val there's a little fast food joint in the main square at the end of the nursery slopes (just near the Saloon bar) called Le Tartine. It's right on the corner opposite Ski Republic and does excellent pizza, cakes, croque monsiuers and other French delicacies. Really good value too.
The other place we found if you ike basic but hearty grub is the cafe under the Fornet cable car in Val. It's got amazing views, does big portions and again is petty good value.
The Espace Killy isn't exactly cheap but there are still some very good places to eat that won't break the bank.

Second that-Loop bar. Great food and staff really friendly but try and avoid peak time for lunch as can be a wait to get served for food. Worth going just to sample the toffee vodka delicious!

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Lucylou, in tignes le lac: the noodle place next to the loop bar (thai palace?) has an awesome lunchtime special for €6.50 for chicken or beef noodles (basically chow mein) or €8.50 for prawn noodles. really yummy and we thought it was really good value. quite basic, but i wasn't there for the ambience/decor. chuck in a drink bought from the spar in le lac and you're laughing.
the spar itself does cooked food and lists it's weekly menu on a board outside the entrance. worth contemplating?

The restaurant on triffolet is good value the menu du skier is 24 euros for 2 courses and was excellent food. Not cheap but very good value.
The spar is also good value and cheap. Avoid the glacier restaurant in Tignes.

Not a mountain restaurant but avoid the restaurant in Les Brevieres (the one next to the take away hutch). Watery coffee and a diet coke - 17.2 euro  |
Ah, was that the Etoile de Neige? Home of the €17.50 spag bol... not yet beaten, btw, & I've been to the 3V since then 
From our last trip to Tignes (December) I can recommend the restaurant at the top of the Chaudannes chair (been to the actual restaurant before, & went into the self-service bit this time - both nice. Very reasonably-priced Erdinger, too  ), the place at the bottom of the OK/Orange reds into La Daille (sorry, don't know the name, but you can't miss it really, it's directly in front of you as you ski down), the little place on the left towards the end of the Anemone blue into Le Lac (much better value for a spag bol than the Brevieres place! And again, good price on the Erdinger  ) & perhaps best of all, the restaurant half-way down the Face de Bellevarde. I don't think you actually need to ski the Face to go there, btw - there's a chair up from Val which drops you right outside, & you can get across to another chair to take you up to the top afterwards, although that one wasn't running when we were there, so it might be best to check before committing yourself if you're a bit nervous about black runs...

Jo225, probably.
There was a place called Bananas in VdI where we had lunch and watched then end stgaes of the men's downhill the other week. That wasn't too bad for price and quality.
