la terrasse - Les Arcs

Excellent eating with choices that went beyond their basic brasserie. friendly waiter and cook. decorate nothing special, but no big thing

In the old place, on the way to italy Greece, we tried to find somewhere an early dinner. on Wednesday, the places must be closed so that we had little choice. because it doesn't look much from the outside, we were hesitant to try, but we were tired and hungry so we thought we were going to try. great choice! much more beautiful than outside, good selection menu and great service. the owner was more helpful in the menu and wine selection, as our French is very poor and he even left his restaurant to give us a lift near our hotel, as we were too tired to meet the mountain-top small streets of the medieval village. not many would do that.

The manager was kind enough to translate the whole french menu to english for me... We had a set meal salad, salmon for mains, and a parfait vanille for desserts. Only $29Euros. The food is good and served fast (maybe cos its abt 1pm..... less crowded)

Do not be deceived by the initial appearance of the place we entered and after calling “bon soir” at least twice were welcomed by the chef, who took us into the “secret room “, which is actually the heart of the restaurant. I recommend...taking the “deal”, which is one of each of the courses for a set price. An amazing muffin with goat cheese sauce was the highlight of the dishes we tried, though the Italian salad was also delicious. The main dishes were all excellent, from the risotto to the beef and the wok special with beef. The desserts were tasty too. Very nice atmosphere and warm staff with good service.

We regurlarly have lunch at la terrasse, not far from home. never disappointed. We can see the cook in action, using the wok or the grill... Good service , friendly staff, healthy food. This is what we like.
