Restaurants in Megève
Flocons de Sel (04 50 21 49 99)
Emmanuel Renaut now has three Michelin stars. Excellent food, nice ambience and not too formal. The degustation menu takes a strong stomach, a la carte is easier to digest! It is up the road past the Rochebrune cable car – you will need transport. Check the taxi fare before.
Flocons Villages (04 50 78 35 01)
Excellent food and reasonably priced. Two courses for 40 Euros. Located on the back street near the Jazz Club.
St. Georges Hotel – Table du Trappeur (04 50 93 07 15)
The Trappeur is a favourite with good French food at a reasonable price for Megeve. Nice ambience. Two sittings at 7pm and 9pm.
Au Coeur de Megeve Hotel (04 50 21 25 30)
This three-star hotel has a cosy and charming restaurant serving good food. Two sittings 6:30 and 8:30pm. Comfortable bar. The food is good, but expensive. The service can be unfriendly and pompous.
Amore Hibou (04 50 34 63 57)
This used to be called ‘The Puck’. It’s part of the Hibou Blanc chain and serves mainly Italian dishes. Reasonably priced. There is a lively outside bar and band at the weekend.
OK Apres Ski
Convenient for those staying at Rochebrune, located on the way down from the lifts. Family run business: the son runs the bar and the father cooks the food. Après ski snacks with Savoyarde influence.
Le Comptoir d'Alice (04 50 58 71 31)
Pleasant ambience and good and friendly service.
Enfants Terribles (04 50 21 20 02)
Next to Hotel Mont Blanc. Savoyard specialties or French cooking. Very expensive.
Le Bistrot (04 50 21 32 74)
Used to do traditional Savoyard cooking, but now focuses on international food. Near Au Coeur de Megeve.
Le Cafe (04 50 21 02 60)
Restaurant in the centre which used to be the Cintra. Mains are about 32 Euros.
Le Restaunome (04 50 96 65 63)
The dining room has a deal with the Hotel au Vieux Moulin as well as being open to the public. Good food and service. The dining room has been refurbished and is cosier.
Le Prieure
We found this expensive and disappointing the last time we went. Service is good and nice atmosphere.
Torrent (04 50 58 92 21)
Try and get a table overlooking the stream. Very friendly.
La Sauvageonne “Chez Nano” (04 50 91 90 81)
Expensive and out of town at the end of the Route de Rochebrune – 30 min walk or a taxi (check fare). Good food and lovely scenery. Possibly a lunch destination for non-skiers.
L'Hibou Blanc (04 50 21 22 44)
In the square by Allards. Formerly the Brasserie Centrale and now under new management. Always busy. We had a disastrous meal there some time ago and would welcome feedback as we have not eaten there since.
Le Tig'rr Indochine
Next door to the Torrent. We have not eaten there. Serves sushimi, sushi, maki.
Canailles (04 50 21 02 18)
On the roundabout by the Post Office. Used to be the Café 2 Postes
Chamois (04 50 91 32 18)
Owned by Sebastian and Stephanie from Le Torrent. Opposite the Hotel Rond Point. They do very good burgers.
Chez Olivia
Just below the Chamois lift. They do omelettes, crepes and salads. They have a nice little garden.
Chez Nano
Now under the ownership of La Sauvageonne. Mostly snack type of menu and a lot of dishes for sharing. We were told the portions were tiny and our guests went elsewhere for a pizza.
La P'tite Creperie
Just off the main square. Serves, wraps, crepes and hamburgers.
Le M Restaurant (04 50 21 41 09)
The main restaurant for the Hotel Le M de Megeve. It is billed as fine dining. There is also a tapas-like selection of food at the bar.
St Nicholas (04 50 21 04 94)
This is at the Hotel Au Coin Du Feu just down the road from the Sylvana. Good food and nice ambience. The restaurant is in the old wine cellar downstairs.

This is near the Jazz Club. A bar, but with food.
Le Spaggiari (04 50 98 89 88)
Another bar which serves pizzas. Next to the Tourist Office. It is reasonably priced and always busy.
Un Jour a Peyrassol (04 50 78 44 59)
This is just up from the Hotel Rond Point on the right-hand side. It serves pizzas, burgers and pasta.
Beef Lodge at Lodge Park Hotel
As the name suggests, this mostly does steaks.
Le Gourmandier (04 50 21 07 21)
The restaurant at The Royal Rochebrune Hotel, just up from the Sylvana.
La Ferme Saint-Amour (04 69 66 55 75)
This is the newest, trendiest place to be. It is pricey but the food is reported to be good. There are two sittings. There is music from 10pm onwards so if you want to hear music you should go for the second sitting.
Refuge du Calvaire (04 50 47 54 39)
This is a 10-minute walk up the Calvaire path from the ice rink. Mains are around €25, including a plat du jour. Great view, delicious imaginative food, excellent, friendly service and very much frequented by locals.
