The Grotte, or more accurately – La Grotte (a naturally formed cave), has just unveiled a new lunch menu, which I’ve just tried and was really impressed with- more so the French dude I took with me was fully impressed with the quality of the ingredients – and you know how fussy they are. The [...]

Bare minimum to be called snowing in Serre Che

January 20, 2012

Well after some time it is “snowing” in Monetier again. A flurry, one might say, but honestly could do better. It’s quite warm so none of it is settling in the village – on the paths at least, but this will be thicker up the mountain. Of course as it’s snowing and a bit low [...]

La Grotte Bar Restaurant

January 20, 2012

On Wednesday we sent our intrepid bromatolagist, Fergus, up to La Grotte to do a review of the bar and the restaurant at La Grotte. Personally I wouldn’t suggest that you take some bird you have just pulled up to the Grotte for a candle lit dinner, but, for value for money skiing fuel and [...]

Putting the boot in to Serrre Chevalier

January 17, 2012

As the God-father himself said, you gotta get on the good foot and this is especially true when deciding what to wear when visiting a winter holiday destination such as Serre Che. France is expensive, the shops, quite frankly, gouge you. It’s not that they want to, but things in France are the price they [...]
