Best Ski Resort for Eating Out in France: Val d'Isère - Eating Out Rating

Val d'Isère offers excellent dining options both on and off the mountain. Our Snomad community members consistently praise the variety available, from high-end establishments to more affordable options. Tim, an advanced skier, highlights the "fantastic choice of restaurants and bars on the mountain and in the village," though notes there are "few cheap options." Dominic recommends Le Garage for dinner and Le Petit Danois for lively drinks. Andy points to two budget-friendly mountain venues worth visiting: Marmottes off Belvarde mountain and Cascade in the Fornet sector, where you can find plat du jour for approximately €13 and coffee for €2.50.

#2 Saint Martin de Belleville - Eating Out Rating

Saint Martin de Belleville offers exceptional dining options that consistently impress our visitors. One Snomad community member highlighted the range from traditional alpine fare to three Michelin-starred establishments. The village has everything you might need, including specialist food shops – a butcher, cheese shop, and bakery – perfect for self-catering guests. The restaurants receive particular praise for their quality, with one long-time visitor describing the food as "exceptional." Though primarily known for its culinary scene rather than lively après-ski, the village includes a few British-style pubs serving cocktails and hosting evening entertainment like music and bingo.

#3 Megève - Eating Out Rating

Megève is a foodie's paradise on the slopes. The resort offers a fantastic array of dining options both on and off the mountain. One Snomad community member liked the "amazing variety of restaurants both on and off the slopes," while another praised the "incredible places to eat" with "5* hospitality wherever you go." From Michelin-starred establishments to more affordable spots away from the main streets, there's something for every budget – if you know where to look. As Geoff, an expert skier, noted: "Away from the bling areas are good reasonably priced bars and restaurants." The mountain restaurants are particularly popular, with many users suggesting booking in advance during peak periods.
