We're going to Belle Plagne, our first time there, in two weeks time. Really looking forward to it. Hope the snow's ok! Does anyone know some good places to eat? Thanks, Lianne O'K

lianne, welcome to snowHeads. I don't know La Plagne, but replies are bound to follow. In the meantime, you can search the site from the drop-down menu labelled 'user Facilities' (under the mountain scene). Pound to a penny someone has already made a restaurant recommendation.

Hi Lianne, where are you staying and when?? We are staying in Les Constellations for a week from the 12th March.
Not too sure about the eating up in Belle Plagne (know Plagne Centre better), although Le Cheyenne (Mexican Restaurant in Belle Plagne) is excellent.
Mats Pub (now called La Tete Inn) is good for apres ski, with live music most nights

lianne, I am sure that you will find your way over to La Plagne Montalbert during your holiday. When you do be sure to search out Le Forperet. It's halfway down to Montalbert on the left hand side about 400m metres off the main piste not far from a Village de Vacances. It is a typical rustic Chalet style farm type building with a large terrace, more typical of an Austrian resort. Absolutely super atmostsphere and good mountain food. You won't be disappointed!

lianne, in BP itself a small restaurant called La Cloche is very good for local specialities. You don't have a lot of choice but you can always get the gondola down to Bellecote for more scope. And yes the Tex-Mex place is also good.

If you take the Colossus lift you go over a nice restuarrant underneath the chair. And there is a very nice one over MAontalbert through the Car park, can't remember what it is called but very good. It maybe the same as DAVID SNELL refers to and get there early. Don't turn up at peak time and expect to get a seat, very popular!
At night try the Pizza shop down by the Gondola at Belleplange. They are keen to please and it is very reasonable. During the day they always have an outside counter and you pass it to get back to the piste from the shops

lianne, Belle Plagne: wonderful place. One of my favourite resorts. I go there every year.
I presume you want restaurants and bars in Belle Plagne for the evening, and mountain restaurants further afield for lunch.
On the La Plagne site there are a couple of maps of Belle Plagne: here and here.
In Belle Plagne: the best place for drinkies or a meal is Le Chalet de Maitre Kanter (79 55 76 70), part of the Balcons set-up.
The Pizza place under the gondola is excellent value.
Le Cheyenne café (79 09 20 72) is great fun for Margaritas in a friendly crowded noisy atmosphere, and the food isn't bad, but the service can be ridiculously slow.
Matt's Pub was a great place, but I don't like its new incarnation as La Tête Inn. If you want late night fun-and-games go to the Saloon Bar.
Le Matafan is a touch over-priced, but for a long relaxing evening it is hard to beat.
Further afield? Well I have yet to find a bad mountain restaurant. But ones not to be missed are:
Le Chalet des Colosses under the drag lift of the same name just above Bellecote with an ice-rink attatched.
Le Petit Chaperon Rouge in Plagne 1800 by the 1800 chair.
Le Sauget just above the top of the chair out of Montachavin - great for a long lunch.
The restaurant at Les Bauches (do not take the blue from here down to Montchavin or you will do more walking than skiing)
At Roche de Mio there is a tempting restuarant just beside the top of the gondola, but you will do better to ski down a bit to under the Inversins chair where there is a smaller place with fantastic views.
On the Champangy side try the new restaurant near the bottom of Hara-kiri and the self-service near the bottom of the Rossa chair with fantastic views across to Courchevel.
I'm sure you will have a great time.

lianne, You will have an awesome time. There really is something there for everyone! Make sure you get up nice and early and head up the mountain to avoid the early morning queues. If you have time go over to Les Arcs, but i wouldnt worry about it if you lift pass does not cover it, as there is tons of great skiing in La Plagne!
Can't be much help on eating out, but needless to say there are a couple of very friendly sports bars dotted around the place.

Le Vega is definitely one of the best restaurants in Plagne Centre, along with Le Refuge, and La Phare Ouest. We're off to Belle Plagne on Friday for 9 days  Tomski, what is that that is broken at the moment?

You know it makes sense.

On the slopes Au Bon Vieux Temps, near the Golf lift by Aime, is worth a visit

Off to La Plagne tomorrow night, doing an early one with a night stopover in Moutiers so we can get into LP early on Saturday and enjoy a nice quiet day on the slopes while most of the tour operators are on changeover day. Can't wait
