Megeve

Megeve Resort Restaurants

Megève has one of the strongest food scenes in the Alps. Many of the best restaurants are attached to hotels, but there is still plenty of variety beyond the grand five-star names.

For refined dining, Flocons de Sel remains the headline name in resort and one of the great gastronomic experiences in the French Alps. Le 1920 at the Four Seasons is another standout for elegant fine dining and exceptional wine, while Flocons Village offers a more relaxed take in the centre of town.

There are also plenty of more laid-back options. Beef Lodge is a favourite with meat lovers, Bambini brings lively Italian mountain dining to the village and Le Refuge du Calvaire, tucked away above the centre of town, serves excellent local dishes.

For something more contemporary, Kinugawa and Kaito both offer high-end Japanese cuisine.

You really cannot go wrong with any restaurant you stumble across in Megeve!

Megeve Mountain Restaurants

Megeve is well known for its gourmet mountain huts. While some are expensive, others are reasonably priced. The French who frequent the slopes of Megeve like their long lunches so booking in advance is advisable for table-service places.

One of the best-known mountain restaurants is Chalet Le Forestier, a traditional Savoyard chalet on the Rochebrune side with panoramic views and hearty local food. Nearby, Chalet le Radaz is another reliable lunch stop with a relaxed family atmosphere and an excellent terrace.

For traditional Alpine dishes such as fondue, raclette and tartiflette, L’Alpage is always popular, while La Girafe is one of the more fashionable mountain lunch spots, perhaps because of its spectacular views over the Val d’Arly.

At the main lift hub, La Terrasse Café is a lively and convenient meeting point that also works well for a late lunch that gradually turns into après ski.

Megeve Apres Ski

Megève’s après ski scene is generally more relaxed and stylish than some of the purpose-built resorts, but there are still some good spots for drinks after skiing.

La Folie Douce brings the usual DJs, dancing and table-top chaos to the slopes. For something a little more laid-back, La Terrasse Café is always busy and attracts a good mix of skiers heading down from the mountain.

Back in the village, Le Tigrr has become one of the smarter places for cocktails and music after skiing.

Megeve Nightlife

For live music and cocktails, Club de Jazz Les Cinq Rues remains one of the most atmospheric venues in resort and has been part of the Megève scene for years. Le Tigrr, S Bar and Cocoon are all popular for late evening drinks, while Wake Up continues to attract plenty of seasonnaires and younger crowds.

For those wanting something livelier later on, Rendez-Vous Club (formerly Palo Alto) and White Pearl are usually the main late-night spots, particularly at weekends.

Many people simply settle into their hotel bars that give Megève its more sophisticated evening atmosphere.
