Top 5 bars and restaurants in Meribel
Meribel and the Three Valleys spoil you for choice when it comes to eating and drinking. Whether you are a frequent visitor or it’s your first time you are sure to find something perfect for you. Here is a run down of some of our absolute faves in our top five bars and restaurants in Meribel.
1. Adret Telebar
Located on the main Doron piste leading to Meribel and only accessible in winter by skis, snowboard or on foot. There are two restaurants available all throughout the day. Available for breakfast, lunch or dinner there is a wide variety of fantastic food where you can enjoy casual dining outside on the south-facing terrace. In the evening you can enjoy a delicious range of traditional Savoyard specialties, including raclette, fondue and tartiflette.
2. Evolution Bar, Café and Brasserie
Evolution is great for families or those looking for a young, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The food is great value for money, produced locally, and is open all year serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Situated just 50m from the main ski lift, it’s great if you want to grab a bite to eat while you’re on the slopes. Evolution also offers a free Wi-Fi, Sky TV, board games and live music from 10pm until midnight. When you’re thinking about going keep an eye out for their special monthly offers, as once a month they serve all you can eat tapas or curry.
3. Le Blanchot Mountain Restaurant, Meribel Altiport
This is one of the finest restaurants in the Meribel, and certainly not one to be missed. A traditional wooden chalet with a roaring wood fire, you’ll be treated to superior gastronomy in beautiful surroundings, and if you decide to sit on the terrace you’ll be treated to spectacular mountain views. With its high standards of cooking, ambiance, decor and quality of service, you’ll be treated to an inventive and contemporary style of cooking, which also includes vegetarian and fresh fish options. There is also the option of a 2-course skiers menu for those who want to sample their inventive cooking on a slightly smaller budget.
This is a very popular restaurant in Meribel so it’s advisable to book in advance.
4. La Taverne
Right in the centre of Meribel and just a stones throw away from the piste, La Taverne is located perfectly for those wanting to grab a bite either before, during or after they’ve been on the slopes. Breakfast is served from 8am and food is continued being served till the very early hours of next morning (late night snacks at 2am anyone?). Serving everything from typical bar favourites such as burgers, pies and sandwiches, to more international style of foods such as grilled salmon with Mediterranean vegetables, there’s definitely something for everyone. La Taverne also offers free Wi-Fi, live music and has a big screen for sporting events.
5. La Yeti Restaurant
Situated at the Rond Point des Pistes in Meribel, it’s in the perfect location if you’re looking for a special place to eat at lunch while you’re skiing or snowboarding or straight after you’ve finished on the slopes for dinner.
The prices may be slightly higher than normal, but with such high standards, it’s what you’d expect. You can eat well for around 30-35€. In the evenings if you’re wishing to sample their gastronomic food, expect to pay around 50-65€.
