La Datcha - Val-d'Isère

The location is good, food wasn´t bad - we tried lasagne, spaghetti bolognaise and burger with chips. It´s not high gastronomy food you find there so expect average/a little bit above average food. You don´t mind if you´re hungry. Toilets were OK - can´t complain about that.

The Datcha is situated in the Solaise ski area at the bottom parts of the Marais and Forche blue runs, it has a sunny vista but this place is really not trying. It's way overpriced by alpine and Val D'Isere standards. You expect to "pay" up in the mountains but even with that expectation you feel ripped off. Additionally, the toilets are, quite frankly, poor. Plenty of other mountain stops in L'Espace Killy offer good food and refreshment for better value. Ski by and spend your hard earned cash elsewhere.

I would have given Datcha the highest possible rating but for the squat toilets in the tired looking bathrooms, which were disappointing. Otherwise, the food here was outstanding. The burgers and chicken dishes were cooked fresh to order; I'd highly recommend the tasty cheeseburger with raclette cheese. The self-service section had everything else one would want--a bar, good looking desserts, and salads.

Incomparable location, dining terrace, sun loungers with sheep skin, friendly insider, adaptable dishes, a little expensive even.A compulsory plan!

We stopped here a couple of times when we required a bit of a pit stop with a view. One of my favourite places on the mountain is to sit on one of there deck chairs with a hot chocolate or beer and admire the view. I recommend the Churros from the bar! As with all these places they are not cheap but you can't put a price on that view!
