Le Cocon Des Neiges

A friend recommended this bar after he had been here a few weeks earlier. The staff were mostly disinterested in serving. The beer was expensive. It's in a nice location at the bottom of the slopes. As it is bearing the end of the ski season, the bar wasn't over busy. But it just took ages to get served. We also stopped for a lunchtime snack on one occasion. There must have been a surplus of tartiflette as the staff member almost demanded that each of us choose it for lunch. He seemed quite angry that I didn't opt for the tartiflette! Overall, it's a lovely setting and a nice looking bar/restaurant but the service was awful. Perhaps they'd already made enough money this season!

It is a good place to have lunch, breaking from ski, especially on a nice, sunny day. Oddly enough (or maybe not) you are told you can eat only if you sit at certain tables on the terrace, not at any table. We had to talk to several members of staff in order to get someone to serve us. E ventually. Then again, typical for France ski resorts. Ok pizza, better than the average local pizza, where they abuse ketchup instead pizza sauce. The steak was rather rare not medium, but okish. The place has deffinetely more potential, but, right now, it gave me the feeling of the poorer relative of the more upscale and more popular places you can find on the slopes.

Good quality food and bev and good service. Seems to have picked up its game a lot from pre-COVID when some more scathing reviews were written. The back terrace where I ate lunch is a large perspex greenhouse type enclosure which was fantastic on a cold day. I assumed that this 'cocoon ' was the provenance of the name Cocon but in fact it is named after Cocon, Napoleon 's horse that liked eating coconuts, the one he adopted while on a gap year in Zanzibar. Cocon is 'coconut ' in Corsican.

We had dinner and everyone was thrilled about the food. Ingredients and cooking technique were amazing. The duck tartare and the prawns were a dream, so it was the maigret de canard and desserts. Prices a bit on the high side, but definitely worth it. Location is a bit of the way. Decoration is a disaster, surely to be redone ASAP, in fact it looks like a cheap place out of 1970s. Quite depressing, plus we had a loud group of old people who kept singing mountain songs the whole evening.

Good restaurant at the entrance of the TC Bruyères; nice food (excellent pizza margherita! and a great café gourmand. Good service, a little bit slow but we were in no rush. We'll come back!
