It has a great location, at the centre of the Croisette, and at the foot of the slopes - it ought to be good, but It was dreadful, our worst eating experience in France. Seating is on hard benches, so they don't encourage you to stay long. The menu is fairly basic, so we were not expecting too much. I had the bolognaise, which was average, and my husband ordered a croque monsieur. When it came, it had been clearly been reheated from hours ago - he could not cut through it, and left it. The staff were not interested in helping, and charged full price.

Self service is what we choose, food was excellent, good hams and cheese, soup and bread and beers. Quality good. read more Self service is what we choose, food was excellent, good hams and cheese, soup and bread and beers. Quality good.

There is a large area outside and also indoor seating on hard wooden benches.Prices are fairly high (€5 for hot chocolate with cream). Food is fairly standard. Having now looked at the ratings I can see why people go elsewhere. Shame - this place has a lot of potential.The owner is often near the entrance ready to pounce on anyone that might have food or drink with them - beware pic nicers.Les Menuires tourism were giving out free samples of a local delicacy last night. The owner was not impressed that I was still holding a small paper plate and pounced. Fair enough if I brought my pic nic, but a free sample? Given my wife had a tray of drinks and food her reaction was totally over the top. She suggested we try a different restaurant in future. Great advice I think.Apart from the owner all the staff were friendly and welcoming. My recommendation is try the Trattoria instead (it is also closer to ski school pick up). Crepes are very reasonable and so are the drinks. Seating is also more comfortable. We tried the pizza once and it was excellent.

We arrived from the 21st to the 27th of August, the station was going to close the summer, so many restaurants and shops closed. You have a wide choice of hiking (but not special attention). Between a hiker, we often wondered where we were leaving. Station information is multiple and widespread. The information should be refocused with pedestre trails without necessarily marked mechanicallifts and corresponding flyers, detailed shuttle schedules by shuttle and stop for example. For people who don't know the region, it was difficult to refocus the info. The ascensional passport system should also be reworked at the non-higher rate. Very bad but notice that the station is very pleasant, the staff of the station as of our residence the Chalets du soleil were great. We spent a few days disconnected and disappointing.
