Mid-Range Gems
For those who want quality food and atmosphere without going full fine-dining, Méribel has plenty of mid-range options ideal for families, groups, or couples:
- La Fromagerie (Méribel Centre): A local favourite for Savoyard classics like fondue, raclette, and tartiflette. Great value and a warm, traditional chalet-style interior.
- Le Refuge (Méribel Centre): Long-established and loved, this restaurant serves hearty French alpine cuisine and wood-fired pizzas in a relaxed setting.
- Aux Petits Oignons (Méribel Village): Friendly and welcoming, this bistro-style spot is perfect for lunch or dinner with a menu ranging from fresh salads and pastas to local mountain dishes.
Budget-Friendly Bites
Ski holidays can be expensive, but Méribel also offers plenty of places to eat well without breaking the bank:
- Scott’s (Méribel Centre): A lively bar and restaurant that’s great for casual dining without blowing the budget. Keep an eye out for their 2-for-1 burger nights, which are a big hit with locals and seasonal workers.
- L’Arbé (Les Allues): A welcoming local spot serving hearty, great-value Savoyard classics and daily specials. Popular with year-round residents as well as skiers.
- En’K (Les Allues): Known for its relaxed vibe and affordable menu, En’K is a great choice for burgers, pizzas, and local dishes without Méribel Centre prices.
Top Tip: Take the free bus down to Les Allues for dinner. You’ll enjoy authentic local restaurants at lower prices than in Méribel Centre — and it’s a great way to experience a different side of the valley.
