\"\"<\/a>Mountain Cuisine<\/strong>
\nAmong the delights of the Portes du Soleil are the many mountain bars, cafes and restaurants.\u00a0 They range from simple huts serving drinks and light snacks to charming chalets with a full menu.
\nMost food found on the slopes is traditional local fare – cured & fresh meats, lake fish and cheese!
\nSpecialty dishes include Tartiflette, Raclette and Fondue. All designed to keep you warm and give you energy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>There are a lot of good cafes \/ restaurants on the slopes \u2013 most\u00a0specialise in mountain food.\u00a0La\u00a0Grand Terche\u00a0has 2 restaurants at the top of the telecabine.
\nOne of them, La Licorne\u00a0does a special evening meal including torchlight descent\u00a0(diners must be able to ski red runs easily).
\nLes Lindaret\u00a0(tiny ski through village near Ardent) has a wonderful\u00a0collection of small restaurants.\u00a0 They are all good but\u00a0Les Marmottes,\u00a0Pomme de Pin,\u00a0Cr\u00e9maill\u00e8re\u00a0and\u00a0La Terrasse\u00a0stand out.
\nFlo\u2019s\u00a0in\u00a0Avoriaz\u00a0on the slope down to the main chairlifts is recommended for generous portions of good traditional mountain food at reasonable prices. \u00a0It’s always best to book in advance – on a cold day try to get a table in the window. (Beware of the \u2018complimentary\u2019 firewater).
\nLa Vieux Chalet\u00a0in\u00a0Plaine Dranse\u00a0is worth a visit for the good food and remarkable over-decoration (Beware of Babette!).\u00a0 Next door is\u00a0la Crepy\u00a0\u2013 large, friendly and good value.
\nRestaurant le Toupin\u00a0at\u00a0Lechereuse\u00a0near Champery comes highly recommended.\u00a0 Book in high season (0041 24 479 15 48)<\/p>\n

\nL\u2019Auberge\u00a0at\u00a0La Biot\u00a0<\/strong>is well off the tourist route. Specialities are the smoked salmon (home smoked and excellent)\u00a0and the Marmite de Peschuer.

\nLes Gets\u00a0has good affordable meals at the\u00a0Alpages Hotel\u00a0<\/strong>(450 75 80 88) and\u00a0Hotel Regina\u00a0<\/strong>(450 75 80 44) where daily menus start at less than \u20ac15.
