Aïnata

This Franco-Lebanese restaurant has two locations at the Hotel Le K2 Altitude. Le Base Kamp, at the foot of the 1850 slope with a large terrace, has sharing menus with traditional cold and hot mezze (hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, etc.). Inside the hotel and with sweeping views, Aïnata serves inventive, elevated mezze and mains, such as black falafel scented with eel and glazed octopus with pomegranate molasses.

Allodis

If you’re skiing in Méribel, stop by Allodis, which has a lovely, sunny terrace with panoramic views perfect for lunch. Enjoy charcuterie, salads, beef carpaccio and smoked salmon, but save room for dessert—the buffet is legendary.

Au planté de bâton

This primarily outdoor, casual après-ski bar and crêperie is right at the base of the slopes at Courchevel 1850 and often has live music or a DJ. Grab a seat in one of the old gondolas for drinks with friends.

Bagatelle Courchevel

Bagatelle is a party spot for lunch or aprés-ski at the top of the mountain. Part of the Bagatelle Bistrot brand (which has locales in other hot spots such as Ibiza and St Barth’s), the menu includes its signature French-Mediterranean cuisine—think foie gras, tuna tartare and truffle pizza. But it’s the views, the buzz and, of course, the DJ that are the real draw.

Baiae

Along with Cap Horn, Bagatelle and La Folie Douce, Baiae is a quintessential mountain party spot, albeit with a touch more ambiance. Located in a traditional chalet with a huge terrace and live music, Baiae serves Mediterranean-Asian fusion, and the Champagne never stops flowing.

Chalet de Pierres

An iconic restaurant in Courchevel for lunch on the mountain, it is accessible by foot, ski or car. While it is not as much of a party scene as Le Cap Horn and some of the other spots on the mountain, Chalet de Pierres still has a DJ and a fun scene (just no dancing on tables). The restaurant serves traditional French food with pizza, pastas and fondue on the menu as well. The atmosphere is traditional and–for Courchevel–the menu is actually surprisingly affordable. The restaurant also has a great large terrace and an area for kids.

Chalet de Pierres is part of half-board with Airelles and Aman.

Fouquet's Courchevel

The iconic Parisian brasserie’s Courchevel location serves the same French classics as its other locales. It also has a lovely terrace and ski-in/ski-out access.

Food at Il Vino, Courchevel, France

Il Vino

Oenophiles shouldn’t miss this concept restaurant, where wine takes center stage. Diners choose the wine, and the restaurant matches it with food, keeping meals interesting and offbeat. Il Vino was started by Enrico Bernardo, an Italian wine connoisseur who was voted Best Sommelier in the World at the age of 27 (he also owns a Michelin-starred sister restaurant in Paris). There’s a blind tasting menu and a Wines of Europe menu.

Indagare Access: Private Dinners

For an unforgettable evening, Indagare can arrange a private dinner in a remote farmer’s hut in the forest. Diners arrive via horse-drawn sleigh and spend the night in front of a bonfire.

L'Aventure

L’Avenue is a rustic farmhouse in Courchevel 1850 village with a relatively simple menu: pizzas, pasta, patés, grilled meats and fish. True to Courchevel form, you can lunch on the sunny terrace or have a relaxed dinner—until the evening progresses and the frenetic dancing and music take over.

L’Anerie

Reminiscent of a homey alpine chalet, L’Anerie’s specialties include several types of fondue, “hot stone” grilled meats and raclette, along with other traditional French favorites and pasta dishes.

La Bouitte

Indagare reviews La Bouitte, a family owned and operated, this Relais & Chateaux hotel and three-star Michelin restaurant in France.

La Cave des Creux

Ski directly from the top of the mountain into this fabulous restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating.

La Ferme Saint Amour Courchevel

This gorgeous, inviting and elegant restaurant (think candlelight and chairs with sheepskin pelts) is right in the heart of the action in Courchevel. Most notable is the selection of cutting-edge caviars, crudo and creative desserts. Large-format cocktails include such treats as the Ultimate Moscow Mule “for friends and family” and Clarified Punch Saint-Amour, plus there is an excellent wine and Champagne list. The cabaret vibe—live music and dancing staff—pulses as the night unfolds, particularly after the 10:00 p.m. seating.

La Fromagerie

La Soucoupe

For a leisurely, gourmet French lunch on the slopes—in the sun or by the cozy fireplace—this charming mountain steakhouse does not disappoint. Hearty fare like grilled meats and pot au feu are the standouts, but vegetarians will be happy with with vegetable fricassee, mushroom tarts, potato gratin, onion soup and more. For dessert, the tarte tatin is a favorite. La Soucoupe is small, and reservations are a must, so book in advance.

Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc

Chef Yannick Alléno’s three-Michelin-starred 1947 is the only restaurant in Courchevel to hold this distinction. It's open for dinner only and has just five tables, making it a very intimate dining experience. Dinner can be ordered à la carte or from a tasting menu with pescatarian and vegetarian options. Reservations are required.

Le Bel Air

Located on the slopes of Courchevel 1650, Le Bel Air has three terraces, best enjoyed during a mid-ski break on a sunny afternoon. Diners enjoy delicious traditional food such as Beaufort cheese tart, pasta with truffles and steak frites.

Le Bistrot de la Mangeoire

This is the place for a fun evening out, especially if you reserve for the later seating at 10:30 pm. There’s also live music.

Le Bottleneck

Located in Le K2 Palace, Le Bottleneck serves cheese (fondue!) and grilled meats alongside an extensive wine list in a moody setting. The escargot is also a standout.

Le Cap Horn

Le Cap Horn, located up on the mountain, is popular at lunch but magical at dinner, when guests arrive by snowcat under the soft glow of the moon. The restaurant consists of many small rooms on several levels, and feels like a giant pirate ship with lots of narrow stairways. There are myriad fireplaces and an amazing collection of antique model ships. The wine list is legendary, and so are the prices.

Le Coeur de Cristal

Owned by the same people behind La Chapelle, Le Coeur de Cristal is a great lunch spot if you’re skiing in Méribel.

Le Grill Alpin & La Terrasse du Cheval Blanc

Located at Cheval Blanc, La Terrasse du Cheval Blanc is a popular restaurant for lunch when the terrace is open on nice days; it doesn’t have a busy dinner service. The menu of Le Grill Alpin and the Terrasse restaurant are the same, mainly fish and meat dishes.

Le Tremplin

You can practically ski to the front door of this indoor-outdoor brasserie, located right next to the Alpin lift at Courchevel 1850. Run by the same family for over 60 years, the extensive and—by Courchevel standards—reasonably priced menu includes sushi and fruits de mer alongside burgers, pizza and raclette.

Restaurant d'altitude La Folie Douce Méribel-Courchevel

Along with Baiae, Cap Horn and Bagatelle, this is one of the four most famous party spots on the mountain, with a particularly wild, Carnival-esque atmosphere.

La Folie Douce is included in the half-board offering with Airelles and Aman.

Sarkara

Located inside the Hotel Le K2 Palace, chef Sébastien Vauxion’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant is a culinary adventure. Inspired by a mix of fruits and vegetables, cheese and cream, chocolate and coffee, his unconventional sweet and savory pairings are mind-blowing. The cherry on top is the view over the Courchevel Valley.
