Les Coches - Restaurant suggestions please.

Hi

Can the Les Coches regulars/locals suggest a couple of venues for a 3 night work trip later this week. Group of c 20, budget not major issue, middle aged but can be lary when watered... Mixed gender but about a 70:30 male:female split. Most experienced apres skiers!

1. First night relaxed bar/snacks/restaurant. The group are not all arriving at the same time (will be drip fed in during the evening) we are just looking for a venue which can serve food until late, fairly informally with good bar atmosphere as excitement will be high at this point

2. For subsequent 2 nights looking for good restaurants with varied menu - not just savoyarde. Got to be a decent size to accommodate everyone close to each other and a restaurant who doesn't mind a rather loud group!

3. Apres ski bar for post piste antics

Spending will be high on all fronts !

Also not too far to walk from Pierre & Vacances La Marelle please!

Thanks muchly in advance..

frogslegs, even though I've been to Les Coches twice in the last year, I didn't use the bars and restaurants but I thought I would reply anyway as it will bump your post and maybe give a small amount of advice.

Les Coches isn't very big. Though you are staying at the edge it will only be a 10 minute walk down to the "square" below the Plan Bois chair lift. This is where most of the bars and restaurants are. The only bar I've been in is The Last One and I think that it is a good one, very relaxed. It is at the end of the row of shops just past the supermarket. There is a cavern bar, perhaps called the Yeti, which I think can be more lively. There is a nice looking restaurant "out the back of the square" next to the tourist information. In the square there are a couple of places with terraces. Basically there isn't loads of choice and so it won't take you long to suss them out when in situ Happy

Not sure Les Coches was the ideal pick for your group Sad

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

For a nice restaurant I'd recommend La Poya next to the tourist office - nice mix of Savoyard and other options with a really good chef.

You need to Login to know who's really who.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback and the concern but its all good!

I've been to Les Coches before but not to eat or drink, just inspect residences!! It'll be fine for this group, they are not turned on by big named resorts and they certainly don't need nightclubs! Its an annual travel industry event, which likes to see a diverse range of of places.

My main reason for asking is because some of them arrive before me so I need to give them a central point on the first night where we can all eat but at staggered times. Plus past experience says it's better to give restaurants a couple of days notice to book bigger groups if you want good service plus they won't all want to eat tartiflette and raclette (well, at least not more than once....) I've had some suggestions but I was hoping for some unbiased advice on here which I will I hope help me decide between the 'official' suggestions!

Anyone else?

Cheers

Help!!
