La Crèche — Restaurant in Albertville

Unbeatable view for a mountain restaurant - on a sunny day the view from the terrace is amazing. Food good with a varied menu - service efficient with very assertive staff keeping the queues moving! It can feel very rushed to place an order, but this keeps the queue moving along quickly. Toilet facilities are clean but down some quite steep stairs so care is needed in ski boots! Pedestrians can access the restaurant from both the Arc 1800 (via Transarc) and Arc 2000 (via Arcabulle) valleys so it is a great place to meet non-skiers too (assuming they have a pedestrian lift pass). There is a also a walking circuit with incredible views for non-skiers. Recommended - but a popular choice so avoid peak times...

Extremely rude service, we bought food and drinks and were told we hadn't bought enough for the whole group to sit down (despite the place being empty). They felt the need to walk past every 4 mins to check we were not eating our own food (even though we had not shown any sign of doing so.) We voted with our feet and left early before purchasing anything else. Shame for La Creche as we are a group of 14 and had planned on buying lunch for everyone. You easily missed out on well over €200. But hey, at least thet have a nice and clean...

Very basic yet expensive food. 'Steak hâché' from frozen obviously, no veggies possible, only fries with a couple of salad leaves for color, 15.50 euros. Chicken is breaded. It's all 'white food'. We ate because we were famished and wanted to hit the slopes again that afternoon. Thankfully, we had ordered the soup which was the best thing on the table. There are places in Les Arcs with much better value for money, either self-service or seated service with much better food (thank goodness) and often a lesser price than you'd pay...
