Meribel — Food and drink
Meribel may not have the Michelin-starred restaurants of nearby Courchevel but it does have a huge variety of places to eat with something to suit every budget. With a choice ranging from English and French to Mexican and Asian, you should manage to avoid the usual fondue/cheese overload so common in France. The area also has plenty of mountain restaurants for the skier who likes to 'lunch' and much of the best food on the local slopes is around Altiport and Rond Point.
The apres ski scene is Meribel is a great fusion of vibrant bars and more relaxed hangouts, and whilst the party rages around the centre of resort the outlying villages such as Mottaret offer peace and quiet. Most bars are British-owned and there are plenty of options for live sports, music, happy hours and just about anything else you could wish for. Of the two nightclubs Dick’s Tea Bar is expensive and lively, whilst the Loft is a relaxed euro-disco popular with season workers.
