If French bistro fare is on your menu, try Centre V, a Paris-style brasserie in The Arrabelle at Vail Square. You can practically ski in from the Lionshead gondola for a casual lunch. For for après-ski, grab a table on the patio or a seat at the zinc-topped bar in the back. Dinner is a more stylish, yet similarly convivial, affair. It takes place in the main dining room, which evokes old world comfort with vaulted ceilings, exposed brick walls and cushy banquettes. First up, a cocktail (try a Parisian Sidecar) or a Kronenbourg 1664 Draught. Pair it with freshly shucked oysters, clams, periwinkles and other fruits de mer while you peruse the menu. To simplify things, check the
plats du jour. Mondays, there’s coq au vin; Tuesdays, cassoulet Toulouse, and so on. To start, try the classic onion soup gratinée. Notable entrees include steak frites, duck confit and gnocchi a la Parisienne. Boutique wines from France and the U.S. are perfect counterparts.
