Argentière's few restaurants and bars heave in the peak weeks and it's best to reserve a table at popular places such as the Stone Bar. The atmosphere is more subdued in the low season.
In Argentière, the Stone Bar at the top of the village is a popular
choice for good pizzas and pub games with beer. The Office Bar by the Tourist
Office is another hub of après-ski resort life, with the emphasis on beery socialising. The Rencard in the Commercial
Galerie appeals to seasonnaires with its down-at-heel charm - and hot
sandwich counter for lunch on the go - while the Rusticana,
better known as Rusty, has a welcoming feel and also serves good food.
For a
slice of local life check out the traditional La Savoie bar.

Office Bar International Sunday roasts, tasty nachos and well-filled baguettes, the Office serves
