Fondue / Cheese Restaurants in Meribel — 5 of Our Favourites

Start your day with a continental breakfast complemented by regional favourites such as ham, scrambled eggs and cheeses - fuel for a day on the slopes. When lunchtime comes, head to the south-facing terrace at Télébar brasserie, where you can dine with skis just steps away. Savour daily gourmet specials, grilled meats and the renowned escalope, all served with a stunning mountain backdrop.

For lighter cravings, indulge in sweet treats like waffles, blueberry tart or a rich hot chocolate, or warm up with a traditional Savoyard mulled wine, perfect for all ages.

As evening falls, the restaurant invites you to experience authentic alpine cuisine crafted in-house. Delight in iconic dishes such as raclette, fondue and tartiflette, paired with selections from an extensive wine list featuring regional gems and international vintages to complement every meal.

Whether you’re refuelling between runs or enjoying a leisurely dinner, the restaurant offers a warm and inviting setting to savour the best of mountain gastronomy.

There are only five tables inside and more seating on the large outside terrace which offers great views over the valley.

Their specialities include things like Bellevillois Croque Monsieur created by Guy Martin, cayon casserole, raclette, croziflette, “Grandma Josephine” pear and chocolate flavoured dessert, vanilla and cherries Polenta, and “the 1957” blueberry génépi created by Cédric Pernot.

They have a farm, a cheese dairy, gardens and farm shop that's worth a visit too.  You can take a guided visit around the farm and see how the cheese is made.

In the day, the restaurant can be accessed on skis by following the 'Chasse' red run leading from the bottom of the 'Plein Sud' lift in Val Thorens or by continuing on from the 'Pluviometre' run. In the evening, the restaurant is accessed on foot with parking close by and a small walk up the snowy and torchlit path. We recommend you ring the owner for directions if you think you may get a little lost, it can be complicated.

Open daily for lunch and dinner (except Monday evenings) in summer and winter.

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.

Situated just across the main road from the Troika beginner’s piste in the centre of La Tania, access can be gained via a public lift next to the Montana Hotel which takes you down to the ski bus stop immediately opposite.

La Taiga serves a variety of good value menus including a daily special Skier's Menu with a choice of 2 or 3 courses. 

Open every day from 12:00 to 14:30 for lunch and from 18:30 to 22:30 for dinner.

Serving arguably the best fondue in Méribel... you decide! There are many cheese dishes to choose from as the name suggests, and plates and plates of charcuterie to fill you up, but be warned - if the strong smell of cheese puts you off then maybe this isn't the place for you. As an extra bonus, the owner breaks an egg into the last crusty dregs to make the ultimate cheesy scrambled egg. If you're a real cheese-lover, ask the owner for a tour of his ‘cheese cave’. 

During the day the cheese shop upstairs sells a wide selection of cheeses (funnily enough), so you can even take some home with you.

Open evenings only.
