Le Chalet de l'Arcelle

CLOSED: Sadly the couple running this restaurant have sold it.

A little bit out of the way but really worth the effort this place changed hands a few years ago and the new owners have maintained a great standard. The menu is different from what you see in most Alpine restaurants and the dishes are executed very well. Try cocotte to start, the planche d'Arcelle main and the cafe gourmand for desert.

Seven of us pre-booked for a late lunch whilst skiing. Very nice lay-out and homely atmosphere, although the smell of cooked cheese was quite over-powering. Took 15 minutes to get menus and another 15 minutes to give our order. 400g "individual" steaks turned out to have a sizeable bone and were quite fatty, whereas the 300g lunchtime special was straight fillet. Reasonable selection of wines but inly one beer.Service was v.friendly just slow - "l'addition" took another 15 minutes and was quite pricey (main courses €18-28) so ended up leaving feeling somewhat hard done by.

Over priced for poor food had to change my meal twice, worst Lamb i have ever had, over-cooked and charred, twice.

Amazing restaurant at the bottom of the piste, lovely deco, friendly staff and great food. The best in Les Arcs in my opinion. Kids really enjoyed their risotto and leg of lamb and we were all happy. If you have a smaller child, they can prepare burger and chips. I had the best starter ever, cocotte. Can't wait to go back there.
