L'Estaminet - La Plagne Tarentaise

If you are of a certain age and had the good fortune to visit small town France in the late 1990s and early 2000s you will doubtless recall the modest joy of the menu touristique , a prix Fixe offering of basic but lovingly prepared fayre found in many a restaurant and invariably attractively priced at 150 francs for 3 courses. Alas in the intervening years the march of progress has reached even Les Villages and such offerings are few and far between. This restaurant is a real throwback it may not quite cost 150 Francs (this is a ski resort after all) but the rest of the experience is all there. Would recommend wholeheartedly.

Dined here during our recent Easter ski trip to La Plagne. We came across it as we were walking through the large commercial area in the evening. It is very small, like a front room. Food and service was excellent and we are very glad that we found this little gem of a place. Will be back here on our next trip to La Plagne.

I had the set 3 course menu and enjoyed every mouthful. Pate followed by peppercorn steak and finished with crème caramel. Good service too

Return visit to this restaurant. This time as a group of 10 guests. Excellent meal and welcome from Francis. I had hot stone cook your own with six sauces, again. Will definitely recommend and go again when in La Plagne

We always eat here when visiting La Plagne, both winter and summer. The menu never changes! Good, home cooked food the usual Savoie offerings served in a tiny, homely setting.
