Méribel has restaurants across a wide range, from simple pizzerias and crêperies to Michelin-starred dining. Savoyard cuisine dominates: tartiflette (potato, cheese, bacon, and cream baked in the oven), raclette (melted cheese served over potatoes and charcuterie), and fondue are on every menu. They are filling, warming, and entirely appropriate after a day on the slopes.
Le Cèpe in the centre of Méribel village is a reliable choice for traditional Savoyard cooking without excess ceremony — generous portions, local cheese, and good house wine. Book ahead at weekends.
Le Blanchot is a mountain restaurant near the Altiport, easily reached by ski or by walking up from the village. The terrace has good views and the cooking is better than average for an on-mountain spot.
For something more ambitious, a taxi to Le Chabichou in nearby Courchevel (two Michelin stars) is justified for a special occasion — Courchevel is twenty minutes away and the taxi fare is reasonable between a group.
The supermarkets in the resort village carry good selections of local cheese (Beaufort, Reblochon, Tome de Savoie) and charcuterie. Buying picnic supplies and eating on the mountain is the best value option and entirely normal.
