Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi
I asked a similar question here an a previous similar outing and got very useful feedback so here I go again....
I have not been to Flaine for probably 15 years or so so I consider myself a bit out of touch.
I am taking a group of 25 very important but well up for a party of mostly middle aged skiers for a 3 night trip on 16 Dec. I am looking for suggestions for the following meals, :
1. Arrival night - informal event which is the only 'not paid for' meal and ideally a bar which also serves food but does not require a booking
2. 2 x Lunches - not self serve but relatively quick- a few of the party are beginners so needs to be accessible from resort Kitsch and cheese meals are appropriate here
3. Apres Ski Party to start around 5pm - a venue that will play loud and cheesy choons, doesn't mind a 'lively crowd', serve copious quantities of beer and also ideally have food which can be served canape style (but not in a posh way... ) Burgers etc would be fine
4. Nice upmarket dinner with nice wine. Not cheese specialities especially but steak ok.
Anyone living there, or with good local knowledge, especially as I appreciate not all venues might be open that week, your help will be repaid in virtual beers! Its quite a high spending group so pretty good business too.
Thanks

marmotte16, As you say hoping they are open. The Sucre Sal was under new ownership last year and only opened towards the end of xmas week so we were not able to see if standards maintained. The Perdrix Noir normally only opens by the Fri/Sat beginning of xmas week as do many others. Brasserie Les Cimes if open may be an option

Also the amount of pistes open that early will be very limited and I would expect the resort to be very quiet.

Ok , this is by no means impossible but with the size of group and time of year that you are you both v difficult and also massively important. Perdrix Noir, Ancolie , and the pub whose name i cant remember in foret are what I would go for. Probablu 1 Perdrix, 2 Ancolie 3 Perdrix.
THere has been a LOT of change in the last couple of months and you will be there just as new owners start out ... perhaps you could PM me and I ll explain further...

l'Ancolie in Hameau is far better than the Perdrix Noire IMHO and will fit your number 4. The White Bar in Forum at the far end of the shops gets lively straight after the lifts close but there won't be many people there when you are out. There is a new restaurant I saw being built back in the summer close to one of the runs back to the DMC that might be worth a try for lunch - being new they might be trying to make a good impression. Difficult to explain its location but I would guess it is between the route of the DMC and the Tete des Verds before they cross one another. If it is a fine day take one of the last cars up on the DMC in late afternoon, have a beer (or three) in the restaurant at the top and watch the sun going down as you ski back down.
Have a good trip!

Chalets des molliets, was good for lunch last year on the les carroz side. Flaine was a bit hit and miss on the slopes for us.

Chris Mason, Just looking at the above plan, there appear to be two new restaurants in that general area. The Desert Blanc and the La Pente a Jules.

Mishmash, Are you able to say what the changes are? Are they for the better?
