La Taverne du Gaulois - Chamrousse

I’ve only been here for a quick waffle and hot chocolate so I can’t really comment on the hot food at La Taverne du Gaulois but what I did have was very good. The waffle was crispy with plenty of nutella and the hot chocolate was rich and creamy (not at all watery like some can be) with lots of chantilly. Whilst it is self service (so a bit annoying to have to walk around in ski boots) it was quick and the food was good so I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a snack whilst on the slopes. It would be my restaurant of choice for a snack at Chamrousse 1750.

This was our restaurant of choice for lunch on our skiing holiday in Chamrousse. The staff are really friendly and accommodating. When it’s really busy (which it was virtually all the time due to some inclement weather) they try and make sure they can get you a seat in the warm. When the sun is out there are loads of tables outside and it’s a proper sun trap. Their Vin Chaud and Hot Chocolate with cream must be some of the best in town. And their tartiflette is to die for! Prices here are pretty good compared with neighbouring establishments so make sure you pay a visit!

It was a great time. We recommend “founde Savoyarde du gauliois”. Waiter was a really nice, helpful and he speaks English ;

Great selection of local dishes and nice hot chocolate. The lasagne was particularly nice (it was a plat de jour so not regularly on the menu) reasonably priced too.

We were in Chamrousse last week for a fantastic sun filled week of skiing. We discovered this gem of a restaurant on the first day of our holiday and returned there every day. Although the slopes weren't that busy, the restaurant was! So try and time your lunch break around the crowds - either an early lunch, or enjoy the slopes for a bit longer and have a late lunch. There are pizzas, croquet Monsieur, hot dogs, burgers and the specials - tartiflette (a-maz-ing!) , lasagne, beef stew, and more. And the portion sizes are enough to keep the most adventurous skier topped up and ready to go for the afternoon! The staff are such a friendly, happy group of people and cope with the large queue admirably. George makes and cooks the pizzas and croque Monsieur. The tables outside in the sunshine fill up fast and the view of the mountains is beautiful to watch while you fill up and get ready for an afternoons skiing.I have no hesitation in recommending this divine restaurant. Miss it at your peril!
