Megève
in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Chalet Lupo is a cosy alpine hideaway just above the village, loved for its warm wood-clad interiors and breathtaking mountain views. Come for elevated Italian comfort dishes – the scialatielli with mullet bottarga and lemon zest or pappardelle with rich ragù are our top picks – best paired with a glass from the thoughtfully curated wine list after a day on the slopes.

A mountain restaurant where emotion reigns supreme, Flocons de Sel is the gem of the beautiful hotel in which it's situated. The rooms are cosy and expansive, and the staff is super friendly.

Tucked on the rue Saint-François, Flocons Village is the second restaurant opened by 3-star chef Emmanuel Renaut in Megève. This charming restaurant serves up no-nonsense, gourmet, local cuisine.

Tucked away inside the Four Seasons Megève, La Dame de Pic – Le 1920 is a fantastic spot for elevated Japanese cuisine. With one Michelin star, it's no wonder the food is great and service stellar.

Seasonal products are the stars here at La Ferme Saint-Amour. This charming renovated farmhouse is the ideal spot for a warm, cosy dinner with friends.

Le Bistrot de l'Alpaga has a sophisticated bistronomic menu created with market-bought ingredients: quirky fish dishes, beautifully dressed meats and very decadent desserts are accompanied with super-cool cocktails.

A classic on-the-slopes mountain restaurant, Le Cœur d'Or is perched at 1,525 metres at the top of the Beauregard gondola, equally beloved by skiers in winter and hikers in summer. The rustic chalet serves generous Savoyard comfort dishes – including fondue, tartiflette, croûtes and pela – best enjoyed on the sunny terrace before carving back down. In the evening, it transforms into a cosy alpine experience reached by snowmobile, with set dinners and a magical descent under the stars. 

A café. A brasserie. A cocktail bar. Le Hibou Blanc does it all. We love this cosy, family-friendly spot for a casual dinner whenever we're in Megève.

Le Piaf brings the exuberant spirit of its Parisian namesake to the Alps in a theatrical chalet imagined by Dion & Arles. Inside, brushed softwoods, embroidered alpine textiles, hanging rugs, vintage chandeliers, and corduroy velvet create a cocooning, mountain-chic setting around the fireplace. Start your evening by the piano bar with cocktails and refined small bites – taramas, mini croque-monsieurs, and smoked salmon – before settling into the restaurant for comforting French classics such as foie gras salad, roast chicken in jus, beef tenderloin with fries and a decadent chocolate mousse.

We adore this cosy mountain bistro for the views as much as the insanely good Savoie specialties. Grab a table outside if the weather is good or snuggle up inside the wood-panelled main room.

Nous is an experiment hovering somewhere between the table d'hôte, the chef's table and the chef at home. Chef Julien Gatillon offers an intimate and unique culinary experience with classic Alpine cuisine.

Whether you're on the hunt for a delicious, cosy dinner or looking for something to do that's not skiing (hello, bowling!), Cosa Papa is a wonderful place to be. Located in the old casino, Cosa Papa is infinitely charming.

Le Prieuré is chef Emmanuel Renaut’s convivial village bistro set beside the church on Place de l’Église, in a historic chalet once renovated by Henry-Jacques Le Même. Inside, pale woods, parquet floors and a remarkable painted coffered ceiling inspired by alpine motifs welcome guests from morning coffee to dinner. The menu celebrates generous Savoyard-leaning bistro cooking – reblochon-filled bites, alpine lake fish, local cheeses and comforting desserts such as chocolate mousse – paired with Savoie wines.
