Catering - Bartavelle Catering

As a chef with over 30 years experience, working in Australia, France and some of the best restaurants in London (Goring Hotel, Harvey Nichols 5th floor restaurant and Oxo tower Restaurant), it surely comes as no surprise that Jerry considers good food to be of the utmost importance for your holiday experience. Each season he will put together a mouth-watering menu for you to enjoy.

While we offer a set menu, we know that not everyone can eat the same things and we pride ourselves on offering fantastic food for everyone, including those with special dietary requirements such as vegetarians, vegans and guests with food allergies or intolerances.

Please look at the sample menu below, which was last season menu at Chalet Bartavelle.

Breakfast

They say it is the most important meal of the day and if you are planning a full on day's skiing then that quote could not more true. Breakfast consist of a selection of cereals, French bread and croissants with a variety of jams, fresh fruit juices, fresh milk (no UHT that for some reason the French seem to love) and for hot options a cooked breakfast thats different every day, from scrambled egg and bacon, to fried egg, bacon, mushrooms and roast tomatoes, and of course if you want porridge, then how could we say no.

Afternoon tea

One of the many things you talk about on the chair lift, whats more important than cake! Everyday there will be a fresh cake patiently waiting for your return, only for you to demolish it in 10 seconds flat with a fresh pot of tea and juice for the children.
