We booked a large table for lunch last week experienced a very average service. The greeting was great, we were shown to the table, all good so far ... then it just became too much of an effort. The terrace looked light on...staff to start with, which was worrying, then my concerns came a reality. It was hard to get anyone’s attention as staff kind of chose to avoid eye contact unless they wanted to deal with you. We were desperate for some bottles of water as the day was warm we had come straight off the slopes, but this took way too long ... in my opinion water should be set down on all tables immediately, along with the menus bread. We had to ask for bread when the bread basket was empty...
We where recommended Cucina agelina for lunch by our chalet and thought we couldn't go wrong considering it is one of Angela hartnetts restaurants , great location and lovely design , but I must say the food didn't live up to expectations, we ordered 2 main dishes and I must say they where like starter size, mine the roast lamb shoulder was very tasty but just not enough of it and my girlfriends sea food soup which the waiter recommended was totally disappointing very small with a few pieces of seafood in a pretty plain broth with a really big chunk of bread in it to beef the size up..!! Hence we where still hungry so we ordered another main of pasta which was tasty but come Angela should sh...
Oh dear,it all went wrong at lunch. We arrived at the table and the host took our order for a bottle of wine, then disappeared we kept seeing her and she apologised for the delay, said she’d be back in a minute to take our...food order and would chase up the wine. After 25 mins waiting we got up and walked out. Place looks lovely as does the food, if you could actually get any Angela,you need to sort this as it’s your brand on the line. We went to le petite Savoyard instead and the food drink and service was impeccable
Had lunch in here twice during our recent week in 1650. Also stopped in at 5pm for drinks. Live music, sunshine, free pizza during happy hour and good friendly service. The food was also great most of us ate the burgers and pizzas... There...is also steak, pasta etc on the menu so the choice is more varied than some other places. Looking forward to our next visit. If only you could reserve a sofa in the sun for apres ski!

This is a great apres ski spot just at the foot of Ariondaz as you ski in to 1650.Probably best getting there slightly early to get a sofa or table in the sun. We were lucky enough to get seats in the sofa area with gorgeous fur rugs and soaked up the afternoon sun.The drinks came quickly. The gin and tonics were served in gorgeous crystal glasses.Lovely atmosphere, cool music, happy hour from 4.30 - 5.30pm. Bonus!
On our way to the Sagrada Familia from our rental apartment we made a quick stop at McCafe in McDonald's (Passeig de Gracia, 48, 08007 Barcelona).
Good stuffNot much different from CaliforniaOk maybe we don't have macaroons or a espresso bar We don't have self service order touch screen.

Lovely sun trap terrace with sofas and rugs. Pleasant service and just drinks ok. Busy place in season but we'll run.
Is this place worth a special trip? Absolutely not.
