La Ferme de Reberty Restaurant Review

The menu here is fantastic, a really great selection and at reasonable prices. It is great to be able to go for lunch and eat really fresh produce rather than the usual cheese/cream combo that features on a lot of menus here. My favourite is the Caesar salad (around 15 euros) and do not be deceived by the word ‘salad’ to think that it is light - it is massive! The same goes for the mozzarella and tomato salad which I sampled on my last visit that comes with a full piece of buffalo mozzarella along with tomatoes or all colours and sorts, really nicely dressed.

They also have soups, ghoulash, omelettes, prawn wraps, burgers, lamb shank, duck, bbq spare ribs, noodles and a cote de boeuf for two if you fancy a challenge. A really varied menu with plenty to choose from.

Despite this vast choice, the main reason for my more healthy main course options are that La Ferme are the café gourmand masters! If you have never sampled a café gourmand which basically translates as a ‘greedy coffee’ then you are missing out. It is nestled in there with all the other desserts so may be overlooked. What you get for around 8 euros is a coffee along with three or four ‘mini’ desserts. The mini is not so small and is a great way to finish a meal.

The terrace is really nicely laid out with wooden tables and chairs rather than the usual plastic furniture which features on some mountain terraces. The tables are also nicely spaced so you are not nudging elbows with your neighbour. I have always found the staff here really friendly, professional and you are never waiting long for drinks or food to be served.

Just at the other side there is also the Igloo bar and restaurant which I understand is under the same management – the receipt is marked as La Ferme and the waitresses have La Ferme gilets, I have watched enough Miss Marple in my time to pick up these detective skills! This is a slightly different menu mainly specializing in pizzas but is still a nice terrace and good service. Of the two for lunch I would prefer La Ferme however for an afternoon wine or two the Igloo Bar was perfect. There was also a large group who had opted for a late lunch and seems a good value option for some ski re-fuelling.

As you ski from Les Menuires down to Reberty you cannot miss the huge terrace and archway which is normally laden with a thick layer of snow. So stop off when you are next passing their way.
