Tsaretta Restaurant, Meribel - Les Allues exterior

1. Tsaretta Restaurant

Location
Meribel

Located in a traditional stone village house, this British-run bar/restaurant is the centre of nightlife in Les Allues. A dozen pizzas are on offer, including the popular l’Anglaise (mozzarella, tomato, smoked bacon, sausage, mushrooms and egg) or the Orientale (hoisin sauce, shredded duck and spring onion). You can also ‘bespoke’ your pizza by adding or subtracting your own ingredients.

Tsaretta has become a firm favourite with local residents and visitors alike, offering a fantastic international à la carte menu in a relaxed dining area spread over two floors. Their freshly made pizzas are some of the best in the valley and can be ordered to eat in or take away. They cater for private events with the option of booking one of the floors for a private party.

With something for everyone you can expect a relaxed, fun atmosphere with excellent service, Sunday lunches, bbqs in the summer, daily specials, food events, wine tastings and a pop up craft beer festival. It even has a kids playground opposite the sun terrace.

The restaurant is open year round and with a central location it is very easy to get to, so it is certainly worth visiting this gem in the heart of Les Allues.

You can watch sport on the big screen or enjoy some sunshine on one of the two shaded terraces. Tsaretta continues to open seven days a week in the inter-seasons and summer too making it a great place to meet and enjoy a meal all year round.

Le Cafe del Mott Restaurant & Bar, Mottaret terrace

2. Le Cafe del Mott Restaurant and Bar

Location
Meribel-Mottaret

Part of the Hotel le Mottaret, this bar has a fantastic sunny terrace serving lunch and après-ski tunes, just 50m from the Perdrix and Furet green runs.

The lunch menu proposes a selection of juicy burgers, daily specials and an extensive salad bar. If the weather is bad then you can hunker up inside, but when the sun is out so is their bbq, and their three level south facing terrace with views of the Méribel valley is hard to beat.

Après-ski kicks off every afternoon with a line up of live music and DJs throughout the winter season. Chill out in a comfy armchair by one of the fire pits and enjoy the relaxed music and vibes with a cold beer in hand.

Situated next to the gentle green runs that lead back to Mottaret centre, this is a great choice for a spot of lunch or an end of day après beer, as even the most inexperienced skiers in your group will still be able to ski to the door.

Restaurant is open daily from 11:30 to 22:30.

Dishes are created by Michelin starred chef Laurent Azoulay, such as Chestnut velouté with Beaufort and walnut or the vacherin with vanilla from Madagascar.

6. The Rôtisserie Restaurant and Bar

Location
Meribel

Tuck into locally sourced roasts, burgers, and seasonal salads at The Rôtisserie Restaurant, where comfort food meets unbeatable flavour.

At The Rôtisserie Restaurant in The Den, they believe good food takes time. That’s why they slow-roast their chicken in-house until it’s perfectly tender and packed with flavour. Their signature ‘fall-off-the-bone and into-your-mouth chicken’ is just the beginning - tuck into juicy burgers, bold sauces, and a menu crafted with the finest locally sourced ingredients.

Vegetarian? No problem. They’ve created delicious veggie burgers and satisfying winter salads that are anything but an afterthought. Whether you're craving comforting roasts or lighter bites, every dish is made to delight.

L'Igloo Bar & Restaurant, Meribel Centre interior

7. L'Igloo Bar and Restaurant

Location
Meribel

A popular restaurant in the centre of Meribel serving pasta, pizza, burgers, carpaccios, salads and cocktails, a nice change from the usual Savoyard style cuisine. We love this restaurant and pizzeria for its funky modern décor and the fun igloo-shaped room you can reserve for your party. The ‘specials’ are more inventive, including a raclette pizza, a snail pizza and a burger pizza. And for the sweet-toothed, don’t miss the divine Nutella pizza for dessert. 

This restaurant also serves a choice of burgers, steaks and salads. If you're not hungry then you can just chill out in the lounge bar with a cocktail. Open all day from 11:00 to 23:00, this restaurant gets very busy so booking in advance is recommended.

La Table du Ruitor Restaurant, Mottaret restaurant terrasse

8. La Table du Ruitor Restaurant

The brasserie is split over two floors, with an open kitchen and a Argentinian inspired grill. Service is from 12:00 to 14:30.

In the evening, La Table du Ruitor presents an unforgettable evening with friends and/or family for hotel guests and outside guests as well. In a nod to Argentinean establishments of "Maison Fenestraz", the chef has succulent cuts of meat, cut and cooked on the grill like in South America! The half board menu includes an amuse bouche, appetizer, main course, cheese and dessert buffet. Every Thursday, the must do Savoyard evening will introduce you to the regional flavours with unlimited fondue or raclette. There also is the option to choose à la carte and wines from the extensive wine list.
