La Ferme de Reberty
This is the main restaurant in the Reberty Sector – where most of the resort’s chalets sit, so it’s best to book in advance as it can get very busy. It has a large slopeside terrace with Oxygene, one of the main ski schools, operating just in front, so it’s a popular lunchtime choice for young families. The interior, while large, is well divided into small areas, which creates a good atmosphere, especially during the evenings. Navigate the large menu by trying the local sharing boards, complete with charcuterie, Savoyard cheeses, homemade terrines and even tinned sardines, but save room to sample their excellent desserts from the dessert table.

Là Haut
Billed as a Bistro Paysan and run by a passionate local team, this bijoux restaurant juggles classic Savoyard cuisine and specialises in meat dishes, all served with a local twist, whether that’s a filet with local morel mushrooms or veal with a blue cheese sauce from Bonneval. The French onion soup is also a firm favourite. Enjoy an aperitif beside the fire or retire there post-prandial for a slice of their renowned blueberry tart.

Brasserie des Belleville
On the far side of the Croisette sector, this restaurant offers a wide range of options from good value pizzas to burgers and Savoyard staples, both the tartiflette and raclette come highly recommended. Aged timber and stone cladding, sheepskin rugs and bronzed lighting give a homely chalet feel despite this being integrated into the skier’s wing of the Croisette. So it’s super convenient if you are staying in the Brelin apartments, the ship-like structure directly above the restaurant. Book the love bubble gondola downstairs for romantic dinners a deux.

Le Telemark
Ski-in/ski-out on the hill down towards Preyerand – and part of the four-star Hotel Higalik – Le Telemark has a large spacious sheltered terrace and a brasserie feel for more formal dining. Indoors that feeling of space continues with high ceilings, a copper-coated bar with high ceilings and contemporary wood-panelled walls. The menu is in keeping with the upmarket hotel, with dishes like John Dory and citrus butter and seven-hour slow-cooked lamb shoulder. Alternatively, stop by for waffles or crepes for a mid-afternoon snack from the snack bar.

Au Village
Tucked away inside the Gallerie d’Edret, this is a little gem of a restaurant, and you would never know you are inside the 70s-built shopping centre under the Croisette sector. Little wood-clad alcoves make this restaurant super cosy. Tuck into one of the traditional Savoyard specialities, using cheese from La Trantsa local farm, meat sourced from local butchers and many organic products. Au Village also offers a takeaway service with all options available (€1 less per dish). Under fives and under 10s menus are also available.

La Bouitte
Tucked away in the hamlet of St Marcel, near St Martin de Belleville, and in the same valley as Les Menuires, La Bouitte has earned itself three Michelin stars and it’s not difficult to see why. The cosy farmhouse interior is decorated with old cowbells and other Alpine eclectic, but it's the kitchen that grabs all the attention. Father and son team René and Maxime have been working together for more than 25 years, and celebrated La Bouitte's 45th anniversary at the end of 2021.
Their creative and subtle cooking draws inspiration from the culinary traditions celebrating the local Savoie area. Book well in advance. You can (almost) reach it off-piste or by heading down to St Martin – in both cases, the restaurant picks you up and delivers you back to the lift in St Martin for the journey home. La Bouitte also owns the piste-side Brasserie and wine bar “Simple & Meilleur” (closed Tuesdays).

On the mountain
Chalet du Sunny
Just below the top of the Sunny chairlift, this is a grand old pit stop for DJ-fuelled early afternoon après ski or ideal for a high-altitude lunch above Les Menuires. You can’t miss the graffiti-clad gondola cabin on the snowfront, and that happy-go-lucky street vibe exudes throughout. Decent burgers, plancha platters and pizzas are best enjoyed on the large sunny terrace. Chalet du Sunny also offers an evening out where you ride up and down by piste basher for a funky fondue. The little snack bar alongside is great for a quick grab-and-go lunch – think chips, sausages and croque-monsieurs.

Le 2800
Located at the top of La Masse cable car, and as high-mountain as the name suggests, Le 2800 offers high-altitude dining with incredible views. Take a selfie with the giant Les Menuires sign across the wilderness of the back of the Belleville valley or gaze across at Mont Blanc. Intrepid off-pisteurs can launch themselves down the Lac de Lou itinerary after a fine lunch of oysters, aged beef or specialist burgers. Alternatively, come here for breakfast as part of the First Tracks offering for skiers who want to be first down the slopes. There’s also a takeaway snack bar and coffee terrace.

Roc Seven
Top spot for on-mountain Menuires dining, Le Roc 7 is a verdant, lively Italian-inspired joint with a strong line in antipasti, pasta vongole, and wood-fired pizzas – with crusts to die for. The interiors are festooned with hanging plants, wicker lamp shades and deep green leather banquettes, lending a biophilic twist to the classic chalet architecture. There’s always a great atmosphere, helped by the live violinist playing contemporary tunes. A joyous retreat in bad weather, it comes into its own on a bluebird day, with a live DJ spinning tunes on the Veuve branded terrace after lunch.

Maya Altitude
Strictly more St Martin de Belleville than Les Menuires, Maya, which opened in 2021, sits in a glorious position right on the ridge between Meribel and the Belleville valley. Stop in for a bite before skiing the famous “Jerusalem” blue piste, which undulates all the way down to St Martin de Belleville. With a wine cellar and a special cooling cellar – “cave du maturation” to age local meats – this is an upmarket lunch option with incredible Himalayan-inspired interiors. The restaurant stands out for its charcoal grill and Indian-spiced twists on mountain favourites.

Le Grand Lac
Alongside the base of the Granges Ski Lift at the mid-point between Les Menuires and St Martin, Les Granges du Lac restaurant sits at 2,250m between the slope and the sky, with its large terrace offering incredible views across the valley towards La Masse. Inside there’s plenty of room for diners on a cold day, as well as a heated side ‘marquee’ for coffees and quick stops. Top treats are the tartines – large toasted open breads – omelettes and Savoie classics, but do save room for a fresh crepe or waffle to round off the lunch. The small snack bar is popular for skiers looking for a quick refuel while soaking up the views in a deckchair.

La Marmite
Both on and off the mountain, as many of the resorts’ best restaurants are, La Marmite sits slopeside in the Bruyeres sector, its classy interiors and bijoux terrace garlanded by two converted telecabines and a tented igloo. Choose from the menu du jour (from omelettes to pasta dishes) or go a la carte for locally sourced Savoyard meat and cheese, often served smoked under a glass cloche. Book a fondue in one of the plush gondola cabins for a romantic soirée, cheesy in the very best manner. Reasonably priced gastronomy. There’s also a smart bar area for evening drinks.
