Le Taburle sur Huez

I liked it a lot, I came here for 3 New Year's Eve. And they have a closed raclette menu that is absolutely crazy, you get enough food for 3 days. And the quality is 10, especially the meat that you can make yourself, on the hot stone.

I honestly do not know why this place has so many bad reviews. Firstly - it's right next to the slopes and yes, this means it's going to be busy and it probably means the staff will get stressed at times. However, it's very convenient being the closest place to ski school and it's big enough to accommodate groups easily. We ate / drank here (8 adults, 8 children) at least 3 times during our week stay. We found the service to be great every time we ate here - perhaps not the quickest, but we weren't in a rush. Staff were always friendly and helpful. We also found the food to be good, although I will admit we kept to the basics (pizza, crepes, chips etc). We spent a good couple of hours here every lunch time - chilling with a few drinks. It was fantastic as it allowed some of our group to go for a run down the Signal or Marcel's farm, then meet up again for a break. We will be returning to Alpe d'huez again next year (4th year running) and I'm sure we will be eating here several times again.
