Are we talking blow out chips extravaganza here :D


I think so.....12 € in total. However the mayo & Tommy K were free, so I made sure I put plenty on!!


I could put away a large plate of chips and mayo, right now.

Good deal, getting the ketchup and mayo for free!

Yes the restruants are expensive both in the town and up the mountian. I could take you to a nice reasonable crepe house just off the beaten track in the town centre but can't remember what is called :) But on a sunny day get as far over as you can from the Alpetthut and the skiings fantastic and not too busy, because people can't be bothered to traverse that far over. I think one long red run is called "Jardine" its fast plenty of rolling jumps a super run )


So it is expensive in Megeve :-o

Ian, give up :lol: It might be expensive for the most part but I am sure you can do it on the fairly cheap too (as others have pointed out a couple of times). Go and make up your own mind or don't waste your own time posting about how expensive the resorts you have never been to are!

My Wife's parents used to have (now sold!!!!) an appartment in Cordon, not far from Megeve. I have mixed views.

Unlike French 'station de ski' its a proper village with a very pretty central square.
Nice ski area with some tree line skiing, we really enjoyed the skiing
I HATED the fur coat, tons of makeup, small dog (also with coat), dog poo in the snow brigade
Food. Again, typical in France, fantastic restaurants if you have 00's of Euros and a couple of hours for lunch OR a rubbish cafeteria. Not much in between. (bit like London actually). I like to sit down, be served good food at an OK price, then get back on my skis - I don't think France does this anywhere near as well as Austria or Switzerland.

there's plenty in between, there's two excellent places over towards St Nicolas, another one at the base of the Mont Joux chairlift, one at the bottom of Le Christomet which is probably one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten in anywhere in the alpes, another one at Combloux to name but five. Places like the self service at the top of Mont Arbois or over Cote 2000 are pretty awful but you don't have to go there.

There again, I think the variety of cuisines at reasonable prices is one of the things London does particularly well, where else can you eat Himalayan food one night, Indian the next, Moroccan the third and Lebanese the fourth and so on? very few places in the world I'd have thought.
