Another restaurant from Andyhull's list is Les Clochetons.

Here is the website for it:

It's on the right as you come down the blue Santons piste, just before you get into Val d'Isere. So, it's not actually 'up' the top of a mountain, but it is at least at the side of the piste with views of the mountain, and not in a village.

The Santons piste is the one that gave me a nasty surprise when I was ski-ing down it at the end of April. I wouldn't advise anyone who usually sticks to only blue runs to try getting to the restaurant via this route. You can also get there by road from Val on the free bus, 'Le train vert'.

At one point the Santons turns into a steep half-pipe, which was crowded with ski-schools and icy when I was ski-ing down it. My daughter had no problem - she just went straight down it - but I skied it in classic half-pipe style and it was quite difficult to avoid all those who were really struggling with it.

Then it turns into an open schuss, and the final section into Val is pretty flat. This restaurant is situated on the flat section but before you get into the village.

Anyway, I saw it when I was ski-ing past and I thought it looked very nice. And now I've looked it up I can see that the menus are set at a reasonable price as well. Here are some of the cheaper items (all prices in euros).

Homemade beef lasagne = 11.90
Soup of the day = 6.50
Tomato and basil pasta = 12.20
Chips (as a side dish) = 5.70
Mixed salad (as a side dish) = 5.70

We seem to be on another new page now, so for those that don't already know I'd like to say that there are still a few rooms left in the chalet Bonjour Bonjour in Tignes Les Brevieres if anyone else wants to come with us on this J2Ski group holiday.

http://www.skibonjour.co.uk/chalet-tigneslesbrevieres.cfm

The only fixed price is for the catered chalet. How much you pay for transport, lift pass, ski hire etc. is up to you.

4 adults sharing a quad room without a balcony pay £350 p.p. for the chalet.
2 adults sharing a twin or double room without a balcony pay £399 p.p.

If you can get cheap flights and use the chalet transfers the total price will look something like this (flights from Luton to Geneva, details on the previous page):

Catered chalet quad room, plus flights, transfers, 6 day Espace Killy lift pass, 6 days Intersport 'noir' ski hire = £773

Catered chalet twin/double room, including all of the above = £822.

This one is really well placed for the group as it's on the way back to Le Brevieres. Great for lunch, great for a late afternoon Vin Chaud.

You need to produce a spreadsheet of restaurants.

Break down in categories, location, price band, suitability for lunch or late afternoon drinkies, relative scenic appeal etc etc etc.......

Le Signal looks really great, thanks :D

But I couldn't find any prices. They had a blackboard of prices which flashed past on the take-away section but I don't know how to freeze it, or indeed if those are up-to-date prices. What was it like for price when you were there? I suppose I could always e-mail them.

OldAndy
I could make the spreadsheet OK - I'll have you know I got 100% in the Excel exam in my ECDL Extra course and I was top of the class! But, it's trying to find the information to put in it that's so difficult - like the prices. And then, of course, things change every season as new management take over etc. so I'd have to try and find the current situation and the Trip Advisor etc. reviews might be out of date.

But - I am trying! Have you got any suggestions yourself?
