We went as a family, 3 kids, 2 adults. Found this place to be a bit pricey for the portions given. The children got kids meals of nuggets and veggies and received 4 small nuggets and tiny brocoli serving, small sweet potato spoonful, they were still very hungry! The fish "Cabillaud" was delicious and served beautifully but for 26euros it was a very small serving. The pizzas were good but again quite small, the cost of the meal was absurd for what we received. The service was good but they many items were not available. With so many other options I would not return to this restaurant.

Friendly restaurant with great service. We arrived in Chatel from UK too late for lunch or to buy food. Le Grizzly came to the rescue despite having finished service and served a delicious assiette of charcuterie and fromage. Served with a smile. Perfect. Must return for the full menu.

My experience of this restaurant was poor. We were seated and maybe 10 minutes later given menus, at which point we ordered drinks. These arrived over 10 minutes later, a frustrating start when a hard morningâs skiing had boosted thirst levels. We ordered food at this point. An hour later, we asked where our food was and our waiter gave a âwhat can I doâ shrug and disappeared. In another 10 minutes food arrived.We had ordered 2 pizzas, a cheese en croute, a pasta and a salad. I like cheese so was happy with my pizza. My friend thought the pizza far too cheesy and left half. The pasta was insipid and with very little sauce. The salad had almost no dressing. The cheese en croute was however a masterpiece of mediocrity, having a melted cheese top but with a watery and soggy bread base and worse, barely warmed through. This is basic Savoyarde cuisine, perfected in the mists of time and really hard to create with such paucity of skill.My en croute friend complained that his food was unacceptable and having invested an hour already and now very hungry, was not prepared to wait any longer so left for a bistro close by â there are many in this ski lift meeting point.On finishing, we asked for the bill which took around 15 minutes to come. The waiter had credited the cheese en croute and apologised, something which it appeared he was used to doing since he did so with little conviction.The table next to ours overheard us talking about our annoyance with the food quality and time taken to deliver it. They engaged us to share their similar, lengthy waiting experience and annoyance at the quality of food, in particular the 20 Euro dressing-less salad. They concluded that the management were simply not up to the job of restaurateurs, that they were likely economically challenged by way of not owning the building (unlike others nearby) and that the consequent high leasing cost meant that economies had to be made. If true, this would explain some of the issues. Managementâs business plan had not satisfactorily considered how to deliver a quality experience within the financial constraints of their businessâs costs â or to put it another way, they are willing to compromise the customer experience by not having the staff and capacity to deliver a quality service.I have seen some great reviews for the food â not entirely our experience â and some bad reviews, often for the service. The management has commented on the bad reviews along the lines; - Paraphrasingâ¦âwe have a tough job because we donât know from one day to the next how many people will turn upâ.Yes, running a business is tough but hereâs a key tip â let customers know how long they will have to wait when they arrive. That way, you can manage expectations by making your abilities clear and the customer can decide whether they are prepared to invest that time. Pizza restaurants around the world deliver pizzas quickly â itâs one of the quicker foods you will order. That is what is expected.- âDo not come and then you complain that service is long. When it's full, it's fullâSee above. Let customers decide whether your terms of service are acceptable, donât just seat them and make them wait an hour for food. If you donât have the budget for greater capacity, be open about wait times.- âYou have nothing else to do than comment for your sake ????âOh dear. You have been given an opportunity to look inwards, to understand where you went wrong, to identify areas where you could improve. You should be big enough to take criticism on board and welcome that feedback in an attempt to improve, to ensure future guests have a better experience. No one wants to spend time writing bad reviews, people want to enjoy their experience with you. When they do complain it is an opportunity to demonstrate your commitment to them and potential future guests.- âfor the price, we are cheaper than in Avoriaz and Tignes or Val Thorens, Les Menuires or or the Grand Bornand and La Clusaz, or Val d'ISERES or Chamonix, or even Paris.â The customer may find you expensive but laboriously criticising them for doing so appears childish. Anyway, what the customer is really saying is; âthe cost of your food/drink cannot be justified because the overall experience was poorâ. I think the following response to one complainer perfectly sums up the managementâs ethos⦠âIf you do not have time to eat ⦠do not come to the restaurant, choose a self (service) or picnic roomâ. If you are hungry, I suggest you take their advice and go elsewhere.

Hotel Arc en Ciel is the best hotel in Chatel , they have very nice rooms, a more than friendly staff, a very good restaurant, a swimming pool, a nice bar and outside hot tub. In the cellar of the Hotel you find a ski shop to rent your ski equipment. You will get the best advice available here. There are parking places in front of the hotel and the bus to the ski resort will stop every 30 min. You can also start skiing on the Barbesine ski lift next-door to the Hotel. Again this is the number one family hotel in Chatel !!
