Les covagnes - Arâches-la-Frasse

Hidden near the aup de veran lift, but worth a way around as the salate are fantastic. have not tried in winter but come back in any case.

Their Norwegian salad was very good, fresh made, and although the shrimps probably weren 't fresh, they almost tasted like they were, and the dishes were presented with more care than usual in a feeding-hungry-skiers-restaurant. Only the smoked salmon was a bit too salty and a...bit dry (but then again it is rare to find good smoked salmon outside Scandinavia). Good value for money.

We stopped here for lunch on a Ski day of poor visibility. The restaurant was full but we managed to get a table. The burgers and chips are excellent. A 'formule ' of Frankfurter, chips and beer at €12 is great value, delicious and filling. Delightful...waiting staff. No complaints. The desserts look excellent and are said to be home-made but we didn 't have space unfortunately! Would recommend.

We stopped here for lunch on a midweek day out of peak season. The restaurant is tucked away by the Aup de Veran lift and has a nice sun terrace with good views. We should have chosen to eat inside as I think we may...have had quicker service. We had a Montagnard salad of cold meats, beaufort and tome and a Salad Oceane, which was smoked salmon, shrimps and unpeeled prawns; the later were a little messy to deal with. They each cost 15 euros and were both very good apart from the unpeeled prawns. We had to ask for bread and we had a 30 minutes wait to order and a further 30 mins before our food came – if they were full I could understand this but they were not. Go here if you have lots of time to spare, otherwise give it a miss, which is a pity as the food is good.

Excellent place to eat, amazing eating and great service! great place to ski in a group with family
