This kitschy crèperie in the center of Megève is a love-it or hate-it kind of place. The menu is simple—savory crepes highlight local cheeses and specialties like wild mushrooms; sweet versions can contain Chantilly cream and rich chocolate sauce—and the setting is homey, with tchotchkes everywhere including coffee pots hanging from the ceiling. The famed eatery is an iconic spot in town due to its notoriously grumpy owner who holds court over the bar, and the restaurant’s spot at the foot of the Chamois lift.

Owned by Emmanuelle Renault of Flocons de Sel fame, Flocons del Bistro is conveniently located in Megeve’s town center. With a relaxed, woodsy vibe, the eatery serves simple, unfussy food that is perfect for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. There is an excellent wine shop set next-door.

Only guests of the Sibuet properties are invited to dine at the mountainside refuge that has been in their family for decades. The alpage (French for refuge) was originally a structure for farmers to take shelter while grazing their herds or flocks in the high-altitude pastures. As skiing and mountain climbing took over in popularity, the edifices, which range in size and shape but are consistently basic, became sanctuaries from the cold for winter activity enthusiasts. This property, like most alpages, is only accessible by skiing or 4x4 vehicles.

Amidst wood-paneled walls and antique furniture, guests are invited to Wednesday lunch or nightly dinner (by advance reservation only) in the cozy building on the Rochebrune mountain. Meals consist of traditional dishes cooked over open flame in the large fireplace. The refuge is open from June through November each year.

This cozy spot in the Au Coin de Feu hotel flies under the radar, serving delicious, hearty food complimented by the friendly and attentive staff,. With a focus on nouvelle-French cuisine, the dining room at Le Saint-Nicolas is a wallet-friendly alternative to the other glitzy restaurants that dot Megeve’s culinary landscape.
