Hi,
I'm off to 1850 (1750!) for a week leaving saturday. I'd really appreciate some advice for Lunch venues that are going to get me change out of 20 euros per person. When i stayed in Meribel a couple of seasons back I ate in Les Menuires each day and it was good value. Is there anywhere good in the Courcheval side that will give good value? Advice would be really appreciated, as would your views on where you thought was good.
Thanks,
Lossy

mrlossyman, you mean cheap but good value.  What do you expect your "lunch" to consist of?

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

La Tania tends to be best value. 1650 is also cheaper than 1850. You can ski to both from 1850.

Thanks for the replies. I mean good value and quality. I dont mind paying $10 - $15 euro for a main as long as it's a good fill.

l'Eterlou just off the snow in 1650 gets my vote

On the basis that the question is for the whole 3V, not just Courchevel, I'd recommend Grand Lac (at bottom of Granges lift) or La Ferme de Reberty. Both consistently good, with some main courses in your price range. A couple to avoid: (i) Roc des Trois Marches (probably has the worst "capuccino" anywhere in the 3V - 4 euros for something made with instant coffee and canned cream on the top). (ii) The new La Folie Douce at Saulire middle station - self service food at least as expensive as most waitered service restaurants, and had the smallest so called "grande biere" I've ever had for 7 euros.

Courcheneige hotel next to the green piste, burger €13, sea bass fillet €15, set menu (starter, main and drink)€30.
You do have to book as when we pitched up at 1200 they were fully booked.

+ 1 for the Grande Lac, I had a 3 course set menu for Euro 21 or Euro 23 which was brilliant on a very cold day in Feb. Staff are first rate. Worth phoning ahead.
Once again the Bel Air may not be the cheapest (though by no meansthe most expensive by Courchevel standards), but is always worth it if you can get in (phone early that morning).
Lachenal in St Martin is equally good value, and great if you can get on the Terrace.
Pizzeria de Motteret is also a number on my phone, great if bad weather kicks in.
I think this bears out my theory that the further you get from 1850 the more reasonable prices get, this extends to getting out of the 3V's altogether, since in other smaller resorts prices seem to halve, an excellent 3 course meal in La Cluzaz earlier this year for 13 Euros springs to mind!

Restaurant Bouc Blanc at the top of the La Tania Gondola, BIG bowl of creamy chicken soup with bread, croutons and cheese you add to the soup (just pour the melted cheese into your beard and down your front at the start, it saves time and stress). A plate of chips between 2. Table water for free. 2 cokes, 2 american coffees and 2 twix. Grand total, tah dah, 37euro. This place also does a plate of the day, looked really good, if you wanted a full meal. Good, quick service.
Sorry to disagree with Julian T above, would try the Roc des Trois Marches, do a nice big bowl of vegetable soup, or a lasagne 7euro'ish. the problem is they charge for everything else (water, bread rolls, mayonnaise, ketchup etc.) so be careful it can rack up really quick.
This is a central place at the top of a few lifts, so if you are doing the Escapade in sections over a few days, as we were, it is easy to get to and you can head in few different directions from here. It is self service so very quick. But like the Julian T said the coffee is the worst I have had in a long time, and I have tried some real muck while traveling.

Plat du Jour at the Pub Ski Lodge in La Tania (bottom of Folyeres) was €10.50 last week. You had better be hungry. Really good, and large, horseburger and chips about the same.

You sure you're thinking of the Roc des 3 Marches and not the Mont de la Chambre restaurant? The latter has the worst coffee in France - expresso, cafe creme, capuccino, even hot choccy, all completely undrinkable

You know it makes sense.

+1 for Bouc Blanc, Ski Lodge in La Tania, Courcheniege in 1850.
On the other side of the piste from Bel Air there is a new farm shop which some of my guests have been raving about.. locally made cheese and bread at good prices and picnic tables outside to sit on.
Avoid.. any of the restaurants around the Altiport in Courchevel and Chalet de Piere on Verdon run in Courchevel 1850, all tres expensive...

Oh.. also La Boulotte in 1650. Ski down to 1650, clipout of your skis and walk down the road on the right (facing the buildings with the piste behind you). Take a left turn at the bottom (pass the bubble bar wich is also fairly good for a beer) and you get to the Boulotte. Burgers, soups, wraps, baps etc.. all good value and yummy.

Again, the Bouc Blanc! Great food, cheap Plat Du Jour and amazing setting!
La Boulotte in moriond is good, also just over the road and slightly up the hill there is another restaurant (I forget the name) which is good value.
Le Caveau in Courchevel Village does a great Plat Du Jour for €12
Le Ours Blanc, Snack bar in Moriond
The snack bar at the Courchniege, I think you can get a Panini, Chips and a drink for €10
The Pizzeria in Courchevel village, short walk from the slopes, go down tovets, cross the road and head right. You'll see some steps leading to the next road down, then its on your left. Cheap pizzas and €12 Plat Du Jour.
It's pretty much always cheaper to get a Plat Du Jour wherever you go, you'll see it on the menu boards outside and most places (even on the mountain) are between €12 and €15. We spend our mornings skiing around looking at the menu boards, picking where has the best Plat du Jour!!
