La Maison Restaurant Review

The restaurant is open from first thing in the morning for petit dejeuner [breakfast] which is served until 10am. For 12 euros you can enjoy a croissant on the terrace with a jus d’orange, hot beverage of your choice and ‘tartine’ which is basically jam and bread, tasty!

There are two main deckchair areas depending at what time you arrive to catch the sun. In the morning the deckchairs slightly hidden to the left are the best choice. The seating here is sectioned off into groups of three and four which is a refreshing change so you are not sandwiched next to your neighbour as with a lot of mountain sun terraces. This area also has plenty of space for little ones to run around and play whilst you lie back and relax your ski legs.

The waiters are pretty dapper with a shirt and tie combo which is not a regular sight in the mountains. The menu is not massively extensive, with pizzas being the main dish and the most expensive pizza I think I have seen listed at 30 euros! There are also croque monsieurs, sandwiches, lasagna, tartiflette and steak, so a bit of everything covered for a ski snack.

If you are just having a family drink stop then it could be a bit pricey with a café au lait at 4,10 euros and a demi/half beer at 4 euros, although if you are staying in the mountains you do become immune to these prices. They also serve crepes and waffles if you need that sugar fix either mid-ski or at the end of the day (priced 5 euros – 8,50 euros).

The restaurant, being non-stop, continues for après with a nice cocktail menu (10 euros) and then into the evening. La Maison has a smart and modern interior decor and is within walking distance of a lot of accommodation in resort. All in all, worth a stop-off whether it’s for just a drink, snack or meal, they have got it covered.
