Club Du Mont D'arbois - Megève

This was our least favourite place during our ski trip. The service was slow, the food expensive and very average. There are better restaurants in the area.

I should have realised that this would be a poor restaurant when my wife and I were putting our skis on a rack and some bloke took our skis off us and said he’d look after them. I realise that I’m somewhat of a grumpy old man and don’t like hotel staff asking me to take my wheely luggage, but this took the biscuit. The bloke was after a tip and started to brush the snow off our skis. He seemed indignant when I asked him what’s the point of that when I’m going back out into the snow soon. We were meeting friends at the restaurant so we thought we'd better go in, even though there was a rope across the entrance (to the outside tables) manned by a young woman, which was warning sign number two. We convinced her that we were OK to come in and sat down expecting to be asked what we’d like to drink reasonably quickly as there weren’t many others there. After what seemed like the time required to reach the moon, we decided to find someone to take our order. He made the excuse that they were understaffed to which I responded whether they really needed a bloke manning the ski rack and a woman manning the rope. By the time our friends arrived they decided they couldn’t be bothered to wait half an hour for a drink. When ours eventually arrived they came with a bill of 30 Euros for a small coffee and a small hot chocolate, admittedly with a rum in each, but these had cost 12.5 Euros at the previous restaurant. I’m sure there are some people that might like this place, but to the majority of people I would say don’t go there.

The food was fairly good food, but terrible, slow and unfriendly service. Freezing inside, with hardly any view. Overall poor experience.

I agree with most of the negative reviews, too cold inside to enjoy, service even colder, as is the decor. Music not unduly loud on my visit, and the food was quite good though, and yes, it took us 15 minutes to get the servers attention for a coffee, well I failed actually and had to go to the bar to order coffee, and was refused and told to sit down, my server will be coming to the table.

Very nice place well located just at the bottom of the slopes and easy to access. Special mention to the friendly ski rental company located just below the cabins for his advice and professionalism.
