Le 80, a restaurant in Méribel open to skiers and food lovers
Choosing where to eat in a ski resort is never a small decision. After a morning on the pistes, hunger arrives suddenly, and nobody wants to wander from one terrace to another in ski boots. In the evening, the expectations change: a warm room, a menu that pleases everyone, perhaps some music. Le 80, the brasserie of La Chaudanne, set right in the village, answers both situations.
A lunch stop by the pistes. Gloves on the table, helmets on the chairs, the midday service has the cheerful energy of a ski day. Plates arrive quickly, generous and comforting, so that guests can get back on the snow or go up to their room for a short rest before the afternoon session. Children find dishes they like, while adults enjoy classic recipes revisited with imagination and care. For many visitors, it becomes their usual restaurant in Méribel within a couple of days.
A setting inspired by Jules Verne. The dining room pays tribute to Jules Verne, the great storyteller of extraordinary voyages. The decor invites daydreaming and travel, a fitting backdrop for evenings spent recounting adventures on the slopes and planning the next day’s itinerary.
When night falls. Dinner starts in a laid-back lounge mood. Later, the tempo rises and a DJ sets the rhythm for those who want to prolong the evening. Groups of friends love this progression, which turns a simple meal into a night out without leaving the hotel. Few places offer such a complete evening, and that is what makes Le 80 a restaurant in Méribel people talk about.
Why guests come back to Le 80:
- Brasserie classics: revisited with a creative touch.
- A travel-themed room: the world of Jules Verne.
- Lively evenings: lounge mood followed by a DJ.
Private events. For a gala, a banquet or a cocktail party, the room can be privatised for gatherings of up to 200 people. Our team presents the formats on the corporate and private events page. If your stay coincides with a festival or a race, the resort’s what’s on calendar helps you plan around it.
Eating well at the hotel, whatever the day brings
A ski holiday rarely follows a fixed timetable. Some days start at dawn and end early, others begin slowly and stretch late into the night. Beyond Le 80, our main restaurant in Méribel, La Chaudanne offers several ways to eat and drink so that every guest finds the formula that suits the moment, whether they are travelling as a family, as a couple or in a group.
Morning fuel. The day begins with a generous self-service breakfast, part of every stay. Guests help themselves to fresh products, breads and viennoiseries, while those who look after their health head for the detox and well-being selection. On lazy mornings, the tray can come up to the room instead.
A bar for every hour. Our bar mixes a cosy lounge with the friendly spirit of an English pub. It opens with the first coffee and stays lively until the last nightcap, a natural meeting point for friends coming back from the pistes or families waiting for dinner.
Dinner in your room. Sometimes the best evening is a quiet one. Our chef has written a dedicated in-room dining menu, perfect after a late spa treatment or when the children are already in pyjamas.
Places to eat and drink at La Chaudanne:
- Le 80: lunch at the foot of the pistes and festive dinners.
- Hotel bar: lounge and pub atmosphere all day long.
- In-room dining: the chef’s dishes delivered to your door.
Michelin-starred cuisine nearby. For a truly special evening, guests can cross to Le Kaïla, the five-star house next door, where L’Ekrin holds a Michelin star under chef Laurent Azoulay. The cuisine follows the seasons and celebrates Alpine produce. It is an ideal address for a proposal, an anniversary or simply the pleasure of a great meal during your stay. With such a choice within a few steps, our guests never run out of ideas for where to dine, and few hotels can offer a restaurant in Méribel, a bar and a starred table so close together.
Practical information. Opening periods and menus can vary with the season, so the hotel FAQ and our team remain the best sources before your arrival.
Méribel by night: a village to explore after dinner
Part of the pleasure of a restaurant in Méribel is the stroll that follows. The village, built of wood and stone, keeps a gentle atmosphere after dark: lit windows, snow piled on the roofs, footsteps crunching on frozen paths. Our front door opens straight onto this scene.
A resort with roots. Méribel was born in the 1930s, when the council of Les Allues decided to create a ski resort and asked the architect Paul Sirvin to design it. His rules, based on harmony with the landscape and traditional materials, still give the village its character. After the war, the Scotsman Peter Lindsay took over its development. Key dates and figures are gathered on the history of the resort section of meribel.net.
Winter evenings in the village. Shop windows glow along the main street, and the crisp night air invites a few more steps. A short walk after dinner is a lovely way to digest and take in the atmosphere of a real mountain village before heading back to the hotel, cheeks pink from the cold.
Olympic memories. In 1992, the valley hosted 46 ice hockey matches and six women’s alpine races of the Winter Olympics. Today, the Olympic Park across the street offers an ice rink, a pool and a bowling alley, and a family outing there can easily follow an early dinner at Le 80, since the park is only a few steps away. The park is presented in detail on the Olympic Park page of Méribel Tourisme.
Hotel services for a relaxed evening:
- Valet and garage: no need to take the car after dinner.
- Concierge desk: suggestions for the evening in Méribel.
- NUXE Spa: a treatment before getting ready to go out.
Back to the warmth. After the walk, the warmth of the lounge and a final drink at the bar close the day gently. Staying at La Chaudanne means having a restaurant in Méribel, a bar and a comfortable bed under one roof, in the centre of this lively Alpine resort. When booking via our official website, mention your arrival evening and our team will gladly book a table for you at Le 80.
