Fish and Chip wars

Les Gets is poised for an exciting season, with the opening of several new eating and drinking venues.

JM and Rhona from Mamma's in Morzine, purveyors of fish and chips to the seasonnaires and holidaymakers of that town have taken over the Boomerang in Les Gets. They are going to open a fish and chip shop much like Mammas there as well as a tapas cum wine bar. Quite how they will make this work in the Boomerang space is intriguing and several locals have been pressing their faces against the windows to find out more. Only time will tell....

The Dublin Inn, no doubt annoyed by several years of confusion with the Irish Bar, is going to change its name to JC's Sports Bar. Still owned by local celeb Big Jim it will have a new manager, new staff and in the kitchen will be the team from Morzine's other fish and chip shop A&D. The new branding has started to go up and Jim will be opening soon.

Just a few steps away from the ever-popular Canadian and Irish bars in the centre of town is a new all-glass, circular bar in the style of Avoriaz's Chez Flo. This is called Ba Bar, owened by the Belle Alpe hotel and run by Ritchie from the Bowling Bar just down the road.

There will be a new wine bar a few steps down the road in the other direction too, in the space previously occupied by a t-shirts and sweets shop. There are other changes too - the restaurant La Remize is under new management, as is the Flambeau. Sadly the wonderful Snack Attack has gone, but  anew building is being erected in its place, so hopefully their great value food will be back in time for the snow. Exciting times.

If any of these whets your appetite have a look at our available accommodation in Les Gets this winter. We still have one half-term week left, and one New Year week. January is offering good value while February if filling up very quickly.
