Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm in great need of snowhead wisdom.
I'm heading to Val T on a uni ski trip on the 21st and want to do something to celebrate my 21st birthday out there. I'm undecided whether to go for a meal or buy some booze but both are viable options.
That's a bit of the background, now to my questions...
1. Can anyone recommend a few restaurants that would do a two or three course set evening meal and a bottle of wine (house red or white is lovely, no 2000 Margaux for me) per person for around the 40/50 euro mark for 20-30 people.
2.a) Can you buy kegs in Val T? If yes how much, bog standard cheap as chips larger would be ideal.
b) With no realistic place to host a 'kegger' are there bars that would set up some kegs in some dark dingy room and let us run riot?
3. Should I lie to dad and get myself a few bottle of fizz at Folie?
4. Any out the box suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice anything to take the mind from revision is vunderbar...now to look a those webcams for the 27th time today...

Simply go to Cafe Snesko, next to the Frog and Roast Beef - it's the best bar in VT without a doubt. It's a guaranteed good night, but maybe not such a good morning/day after......!

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

gdizzle, a couple of places I liked on a recent visit (both in the secteur du peclet) - was only their for 4 days so I didn't test extensively
the steak club - down from the frog & rosbeef, got some flames outside. http://www.steakclub.fr/v2/ - shame about the level of flash on their website; but quite a chi chi place and I would think nice for a brithday party.
a bit more typically french place - les saints peres in the 'gallerie du peclet' - great for pizza/fondu/raclette and other death by overcheezing. Probably a max off about 40 covers so you should have the run of the place.
off course you could always get the fancy dress out and go to la fondue...

Isn't a bottle of fizz at La Folie Douce about €600? I probably wouldn't go down that route! (Definitely start there for a bit of apres though)

You could go for the best!
Val Thorens has one of the best restaurants in the Alps.
The Oxlays run by Jean and Magali Sulpice carries 2 Michelin stars.
Now, if you just turn up, you wont get fed for 50€/head however, contact Magali in advance, tell them you have a group of (whatever you have) and that Graham from snowHeads suggested they might be able to work some magic.
Perhaps a fairly early sitting or maybe lunch and they may well do you 3 courses plus a glass or two of wine each for 50€.
If your birthday is early in the week when they're quieter, all the better.
The food will be artful and the wine excellent: They don't do mediocre.
However anyone with a really heavy appetite might well pick up a kebab on the way home.

My dad poo pood this idea as being "Too formal, not enough booze" maybe I should get him to sign up to this forum and get involved with some of these middle aged to elderly characters here who clearly live (through their keyboard at least) like a 20/21 year old...
Am now repeating the question from earlier? Any recommendations for fun pubs/restaurants with good grub and cheap booze would be good.
Cheers again.
