2. Le Blanchot Mountain Restaurant

Charming gourmet restaurant close to the altiport lift, open in summer and winter

Location
Meribel

Le Blanchot has long been considered one of the finest restaurants in the Méribel valley, with a loyal clientele who return year after year to enjoy superior gastronomy in beautiful surroundings.

One of Méribel's top restaurants for many years, Le Blanchot is now under the new ownership of Matthieu and Delphine from Le CroMagnon, also in Méribel.

The restaurant is located above Méribel, on the road leading to the Altiport. You can ski or drive here for lunch, and on sunny days you will enjoy spectacular views from the dining terrace. At night the setting is a fairy tale, the lights of the chalet romantically twinkling in the forest. For non-skiers, it is conveniently located on the free Meribus route, or parking is provided.

The interior décor is charming, a traditional wooden chalet decorated with great care and impeccable taste, warmed by a roaring open fire. From the moment you arrive, you know you are in for a rather special experience.

Also open during the summer season with the terrace overlooking the Méribel golf course. Whatever the season you are sure of an excellent meal in delightful surroundings.

The restaurant is open from 09:00 to 17:00 daily with lunch being served from 12:00 to 16:00. We advise you to book in advance!

Enquire Le Clos Bernard Restaurant, Meribel Altiport restaurant terrasse

3. Le Clos Bernard Restaurant

Savoyard style restaurant, sitting at the edge of the forest and close to the pistes

Location
Meribel

This is Méribel's secret restaurant, ideally situated near the ski slopes, hidden away in the woods near the Altiport. Although it’s only a few minutes ski, walk or horse-drawn sleigh ride from the village, you will feel as if you have discovered a magical hideaway, miles from civilisation. 

The quality of food and luxury-rustic charm have made le Clos Bernard a firm Méribel favourite despite, or perhaps because of, its secluded location. Their terrace, on the edge of a forest, is a great place for sunny lunches while their traditional dining room is perfect for cosy dinners.

Choose between the five-cheese fondue and the fondue flavoured with morel mushrooms. They serve sophisticated Savoyard cuisine, including meat and cheese platters, foie gras, salads, pasta, tartiflette, croziflette, fondue and raclette. They specialise in local meats grilled on a wood fire.  You can choose beef, lamb, pork sausages or chicken and then select your choice of side dishes and sauce.

Open every day for lunch and from Tuesday to Saturday for dinner. Winter and summer.

Every week, they have a themed evening open to all.

Enquire Burger at Rond Point Meribel

4. Le Rond Point Restaurant & Snack Bar

Popular bar restaurant on the edge of the pistes serving all day from two outlets

Location
Meribel

Le Rond Point in Méribel is a lively, piste-side favourite, serving food and drinks all day from its relaxed bar and welcoming restaurant. Its burgers are a standout, perfect for grabbing on the go between runs or enjoying as part of a long, laid-back lunch in the sun. With great mountain views, a famously buzzing après-ski atmosphere and plenty of space to unwind, it’s an essential stop for anyone looking to soak up Méribel’s energetic mountain vibe.

The Rond Point has two food outlets, the wonderful à la carte restaurant and its very popular snack bar. Both are open daily throughout the season and offer the opportunity to enjoy outdoor dining (when sunny!) on Ronnie’s beautiful and popular south facing terrace.

The two kitchens offer completely different dining experiences, with the a la carte serving a fusion of local and pan European dishes, which can be enjoyed with a selection delightful beverages served by a fantastic multilingual team of staff. The snack bar is self service and offers a selection of beef, chicken or vegetarian burgers or Thai woks that contain the best locally sourced ingredients, made with love. The snack bar is arguably one of the most popular mountain side food outlets in the Three Valleys so please expect to queue. However, service is efficient friendly and well worth the short waiting times!

Situated where the Foret and Rhodos green runs meet, it is easy for every level of skier and boarder to access and it can also be reached on foot from town.

Don’t forget to return to the Ronnie at the end of the day when the bar turns into a legendary après-ski venue. It is a Three Valleys experience not to be missed!
