Burger at Rond Point Meribel

2. Le Rond Point Restaurant & Snack Bar

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!
