Mad Dog Ski: Ski Resort guidebooks for Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland

Food and drink - La Plagne - France

La Plagne is not as expensive as other French resorts, but when it comes to food, still expect to pay mountain prices. There are plenty of charming places to eat, though fewer places to really splash out than in some of the flashier resorts. If you are on a budget, try one of the creperies or pizzerias, or one of the fixed-price menus. The range of options on the mountain is excellent. Most restaurants are self-service, but if it is a sit-down meal that you are after, there are plenty of places serving up rustic Savoyard cuisine. 

Amongst the all villages of La Plagne, Belle Plagne is probably the best for apres-ski. There are also several bars and restaurants in Plagne Centre. Nightlife in Plagne 1800 and Plagne Bellecote is limited.


Five to try

The Saloon:
If you want to dance the night away this is a great place to do it. They also offer a free minibus service to take you home.

La Metairie:
Cosy restaurant in the shopping mall specialising in fondue and local specialities. Good food, friendly service and strong wine list.

Le Matafan:
This is on the piste and serves delicious food and great portion.

Chez Pat de Sauget
:
In the trees above Montchavin this is a great place to hole up on a bad weather day for a good Savoyarde meal in a cosy surroundings.

No Blem Cafe: 
This ranch styled hangout is a lively place with large TV screens and live bands, a younger crowd.

Our penny's worth


There are so many places to eat, as you can probably well imagine with the amount of villages that make up La Plagne. Try and go outside your comfort zone and experience as much local cuisine as possible, as with the wealth of restaurants available (and our reviews!), you have no excuse for not finding a great one every night!
