November 8th, 2022 Food, Holiday Tips, Morzine

Eating out is a real highlight of a Morzine holiday; with so many excellent restaurants to sample, you will be spoilt for choice during your stay here. We have compiled our top 10 to help you make the most of your stay in Morzine. Whether it is on the mountain on skis or in town with children, our list has it all….

Best restaurant for lunch on the mountain – La Ferme des Lindarets

Located a short few turns below the Linderets bubble, La Ferme des Lindarets is a true ski-in ski out venue. Somewhat surprisingly, the menu isn’t the traditional Alpine collection of cheese, meats and potatoes. But instead, a refreshing selection of fine Italian food. Ideally located for a mid-ski stop, this cosy italian eatery will warm your boots, gloves and spirits.

Favourite dish: Parmigiana Di Melanzane

Cost: €€

Location: 4754 Route des Lindarets

Tel: (00 33) 4 50 74 09 60

Best restaurant for a large group of people – L’Etale

Right in the heart of the village, L’Etale is a Morzine icon. Famous for its flaming meat trees and many other Savoyard favourites, L’Etale is a great crowd pleaser. This spacious Morzine restaurant is perfect for large groups and special occasions. Remember to book early to avoid disappointment.

Best restaurant for a young family – Le Tremplin

Best restaurant for the most magical setting – La Crapahute

Accessed solely by leg power, this alpine cabin offers a full ‘lost in the wilderness’ experience. After parking at the furthest car accessible point of valley de la Manche, a 20 minute walk up the ski du fond piste will reveal twinkling lights through the trees and the sound of classical music drifting with the mist. The menu is traditional, hearty and cheese based with a few chef specials, such as veal rice with morel (mushroom) sauce and pork tenderloin with honey sauce. The atmosphere is fun and quirky, the drinks will flow and at the end of the night, with your faces hurting from smiling and your bellies full of cheese, there’s a blood pumping headtorch-lit sledge ride back to civilization. Get off the beaten track to experience one of Morzine’s best restaurants, find out exactly how to get there in our blog post.

Best restaurant for a traditional fondue – Chalet du Verand

Found half way down the Prodains homerun, beneath the gondola, tucked under a blanket of snow is this charming little restaurant. Situated at altitude and serving only traditional savoyard cuisine, made with locally sourced ingredients, this intimate gem does not disappoint.

Conveniently located near the Pleney ski lift, the Burger Place is a cheap and cheerful option for those who need a hearty bite between runs. With a fast food vibe and a menu to match.

Best ski chalets with gourmet food

Fine food and fine skiing are the hallmarks of any memorable skiing holiday. Select an AliKats catered chalet to call home for your trip, and you will benefit from exceptional food and drink for your entire stay. When it comes to the menu, provenance is key. Fish, meat and dairy come from local producers, and all dishes are made from scratch. Dial the indulgence up an extra notch by choosing an AliKats VIP chalet. Vintage champagne and canapés on arrival; al-a-carte hot breakfast every morning; professional wine pairings and pre-dinner cocktails with every meal; a 7 course taster menu one night of your stay are just a few of the extra perks of this package, which comes with any booking in the stunning properties of Chalet Debussy and Chalet Bizet.
