Le K - Arâches-la-Frasse

Very friendly and helpful staff. quality ratio price a little expensive. the formula of self with small and mountain affairs is a bit complicated and disappointing for a mountain chalet.

After a great phone reception during the table resa (14 people, the beautiful customer experience continued from the reception and then throughout the service thanks to the team of servers that was disposable/effective and always with the smile while paying attention to each of us (especially to morgan lison and champion.) the terrace with views of the tops is the other asset of this restaurant. finally the reduced menu but with a sufficient choice offers quality home dishes! Bravo!

The location of this restaurant is very good, close to the ski schools and the top of the bubble lift. However, it is the only one in this location and I suspect that, as they have a captive audience, they don't feel the need to try too hard. Although it seemed that outside was table service, there were not enough staff to do this well. I waited 20 minutes before having my order taken. The lack of competition also means the prices are rather steep, for what you get. We were going to eat here but changed our minds after looking at what was on offer, chips being served in little, disposable plastic trays, odd coloured soups etc. Nobody around us had anything good to say about their food (a canteen style set-up). Indoors the bench seats shown in their photos have been replaced with tiny chairs which only just fit under the tables. The tables are then crammed in so once on your chair with your knees tucked under the table, it is impossible to get out if someone sits behind you. Bad enough in any circumstances but nigh on impossible with ski boots and padded clothing!!

We had two lunches here within the same week, once at the seated restaurant (after booking a table in advance) and once at the self-service. The choice of food and the prices are almost the same for both cases, but we preferred the self-service option which was much faster. Burgers with fries, and also croziflettes, were excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff were very kind and helpful. A very nice surprise for a self-service on the ski slopes.

If you want to avoid self service and have a rest try upstairs. Local styled food of good quality and good service.
