It’s a big week for us in down here in les Houches, we ‘re doing the Les Houches double with the opening of both Le Délice and our new sister bar/restaurant at the bottom of the Bellevue, the Kitsch Inn. Here are some details for you local folk who’ve been starved of a social life, food that you don’t have to prepare yourself and cold draft beer this Autumn!

Le Délice’s opening this Thursday 8th December from 5pm with an new and exciting menu, fresh faces as well as a few faithfuls. If you want to check out our new menu it should be posted here  Tuesday.

We’ll be opening from Friday 9th onwards from 11am – 1am everyday serving brasserie style lunch and our more gourmet International fusion food at night. To throw a little spice into our opening night its timed to perfection to coincide with Steph’s birthday shenanigans so come and celebrate with us.We’ll be having an private open evening at Le Délice on Wednesday 14th December from 6pm where we invite all local chalet owners, staff, transfer companies, guides and other business owners to come and sample some canapés of our new menu, have a drink or three and meet other folk who are going to be around this winter. It’s an opportunity for us to discuss our bonus schemes, commissions and offers that we provide for regular users of Le Délice, to hand out our new menus and for you to meet our staff. In turn it is a great opportunity for you to come and blow your own trumpet, drop of publicity and pitch your own services. The very talented Eleanor will be playing some music and the canapés and free drinks will run to 9pm paying bar thereafter. If you fall into one of these categories please please feel very welcome to pop along although it would be great if you could email me and let me know your numbers to help pre-empt and prepare enough canapés, ledelice_leshouches@yahoo.co.uk

The Kitsch Inn is opening this Friday 9th December at 9.30pm, revamped refined and raring to go. We’ve recruited a brilliant team for this winter and have been eagerly preparing, sampling (what a hardship!) and practising our food service and concept this week.

Our apres-ski and retro suit suit clad opening party won’t happen till the lifts open on the Saturday 17th Decemberbut meantime we thought we’d have a soft opening and get the show on the road in terms of the restaurant, bar and café.

From Saturday 10th December onwards we’ll be open everyday 8am – 1am for breakfast (including full english everyday), self-service lunch and usual table served dinner although as soon as the lifts start running we’ll peel ourselves out of bed for an earlier 7am kick off and a 2am close….aaagh…bye bye sleep hello winter season!Sunday 11th Dec sees the first Sunday roast (12-3pm and 7-10pm) twinned with a special pre-christmas Beads and Beanies sale from 3-9pm

Tuesday 13th Dec we’ve got Sarah Thain’s viewing and sale of her new and restored furniture, from Atelier 552, from 4-8pm

See you somewhere amongst the opening party madness!Katy
