Refuelling and warming up at a cosy mountain cafe or restaurant is part of the fun of a winter mountain holiday – whether it’s a traditional cafe in Austria or a stylish French eaterie. We want to hear about your favourite discovery on an Alpine break – tell us where it was and why you loved it. Perhaps it was the incredible views, the best hot chocolate, the friendly staff or the heartiest homemade cuisine that made it special. It can be anywhere in the Alps.

If you have a relevant photo, do send it in – but it’s your words that will be judged for the competition.
