The Bavarian Lodge and Restaurant is located about 30 minutes above the ancient, multicultural town of Taos (http://www.taosguide.com) and is co owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Thomas and Jamie Shultze. The Bavarian Lodge will offer high alpine wilderness living and world-class skiing in extreme comfort at the end of a 4-wheel drive mountain road.

Taos Ski Valley lies within the Kit Carson National Forest. The Bavarian (elevation 10,200ft) is at the top of the valley, facing Kachina Mountain. Only great ski terrain and the pristine Wheeler Peek Wilderness Area lay beyond the Bavarian.

Taos Ski Valley is known for extremely dry powder, some of the world’s finest lift-accessible steeps, average snowfalls in excess of 300+ inches per season and abundant sunshine of the Southern Rockies, with 300+ days of annual sunshine. The skiing is consistently ranked amongst the nation’s top resorts. The ski school, dubbed “mythic” by MSNBC, is widely acclaimed as among the best in the world.

Japanese Restaurant in Allston Perfects Hot Pot Style Dining

Allston, MA (PRWEB) June 21, 2008

While there may be other shabu shabu style restaurants in Allston, Shabu Shabu Toki has taken Japanese style hot pot cuisine to new heights. Shabu Shabu Toki has opened in Allston, adding to a long list of Japanese, Korean and Chinese restaurants in the area. With so many competitors, the owners of Shabu Shabu Toki had to make their restaurant stand out, and that’s exactly what they have done by offering the best ingredients and service available.

When walking into Shabu Shabu Toki, the first thing a customer will notice is the restaurant’s ambience. It’s a soothing environment, accentuated by red-backed chairs, mirrors, and sand-textured walls with wavy lines. For those who may have never tried shabu shabu, which means something like “swish-swish” in Japanese, shouldn’t feel overwhelmed by the number of unfamiliar words on the menu. Shabu Shabu Toki provides friendly staff members that will help customers decide from the array of menu items.

Shabu Shabu Toki offers their hot pots with beautifully arranged trays of trays of raw meats and vegetables that customers shabu shabu, or “swish swish” in their boiling hot pot of delicious broth – just think of it is a Japanese fondue. There are many fresh ingredients to choose from like blue fin tuna, short ribs, cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, scallions, watercress, and tofu. Ponzu, sesame, and ginger sauces arrived for the dipping, as did little cups of chopped garlic, chilies, scallions, and radishes.

Shabu Shabu Toki is the perfect place to take friends, family members or that “special someone.” The meal is very interactive, which gives everyone something to talk about. They also have an extensive list of sakes.

The cuisine offered in many of the best rental chalets can be of an extraordinarily high standard. However, there are times, say at lunch when you are on the piste, or for that special night out, when you might want a meal at a top quality restaurant. So, here are five superb restaurants in the Méribel Trois Vallées where their high-quality cuisine and fine wines will ensure a memorable dining experience.

One of the original and most frequented hotels in Méribel is Le Grand Coeur and its restaurant has a reputation for fine cuisine served in exceptional surroundings. Be sure to have a pre-dinner drink in the comfortable sofas at the pleasant bar beside the open fireplace. The tastefully decorated, chalet-style dining room, has an informal ambience, although the service is exemplary and professional wait staff are well informed.

There is a choice of a seven-course set menu or you can dine à la carte. The wine list, all 20 pages of it, includes an extraordinary selection of French wines, including everything from champagnes to dessert wines.

The Hotel Allodis Restaurant at Méribel has a wonderful outdoor eating area for delicious light luncheon snacks. In the evening, patrons head for the elegant dining room, which offers traditional French cuisine with an inventive touch. It has the reputation of being one the finest restaurants in the Alps. The foie gras is a specialty, as is the popular filet of beef, served in a rich orange sauce with polenta. The extensive wine list includes a good range of fine local wines. Expect to pay €50 per person.

At Courchevel, the south-facing sun terrace of the renowned and very popular Cap Horn is perfect for an extravagant lunch. Try the fresh fish and pasta with black truffles. On sunny afternoons, a DJ entertains. In the evening you’ll need to reserve a seat, since the jet set dine here. Every type of shellfish is on offer and the ‘appellation controlle’ Bresse chicken (€95) is delicious. Another Courchevel top spot is the Michelin two-star Chabi Chou, set in a beautiful building and serving original cuisine.

Also at Courchevel, further up at the green Verdons piste, in the middle of the Des Verdons ski slope, is Le Chalet des Pierres. One of the most celebrated mountain restaurants, it attracts a cool international crowd. Lunch, served on the terrace, includes a renowned dessert buffet. Inside, roaring log fires create the perfect dinner ambience, and the leg of lamb, suspended in the chimney, is slowly smoked in the traditional way. Be sure to try the Beaufort cheese tart. Chateau Haute Marbuzet is a perfect wine accompaniment.

Finally, at Le Praz, you’ll find Bistro du Praz, one of the most famous restaurants in the Alps. It’s the perfect lunch spot if you aren’t concerned about cost, and the foie gras and fondues are house specialties that you will likely be tempted to try. A meal at any one of these restaurants is guaranteed to please.

There are numerous accommodation options at the valley resorts, from upmarket to budget, to suit individuals, couples families and groups.
