Where to eat on a budget
You can cook yourself at the resort. It’s better to buy food not in the supermarkets near the station, but right in Courchevel. The prices are really lower here.
The second option is pizzerias and snack bars where you can find tasty and nutritious food.
For a quick bite in Courchevel 1650, FireandIce will be suitable. It’s situated near the ski lifts. Ski pass holders will get a free pizza.
A Snowheads forum user gives his recommendations:
There’s a nice pizzeria in 1650 just a short walk from the snow front, called Petit Savoyarde I think. Great pizzas (and other options) and very reasonable prices. Because it’s a couple of minutes walk from the piste it’s often a bit quieter at lunchtime than the piste-side restaurants.
Dooty48, a Tripadvisor forums user, liked the prices and the food at Les Chenus in Courchevel 1850:
This area is not cheap but Chenus is one of the more reasonable in 1850. The terrace was packed on this sunny afternoon but lucky we had booked a table for 2pm. Best to always reserve as many people were waiting for a table. All 3 meals were perfect and cooked on the inside log fire. The desserts were also fabulous. Expect about 40 -50 per head 2 courses with some nice wine. For Courchevel this is quite reasonable.
