Winter in the French Alps: Where to Eat and Stay According to Our MICHELIN Guide Inspectors

"Housed in a converted cinema, La Coursive des Alpes unfolds into a mezzanine restaurant in Méribel where I’d recommend trying the house special sweetbreads or the seven-hour confit of beef à la royale." - Lane Nieset

"Welcome to the ski resort’s former cinema, with a lounge bar on the ground-floor for snacks and a drink, and the restaurant proper laid out around a mezzanine of galleries. Chef Laurent Hillairet cooks noon and evening, 7/7, rolling out a modern, tasty, deftly crafted score. Sweetbread is the house signature, but their vitello tonnato paired with harissa seasoning, carrots and parmesan or the almost ethereal raclette of soft brioche bread and the ‘7 hour’ confit of beef à la royale are definitely recommended. The rice pudding with confit pears, grilled almonds and vanilla ice cream is just too wickedly tempting…" - Michelin Inspector

I have been traveling in France for 31 years. I have never been able to afford expensive restaurants, but at La Coursive des Alpes I felt like I was in an exclusive one. I have never eaten anything better. I think it is only a matter of time before they get a Michelin star. The service and atmosphere are also very good.

We made reservations for a group dinner for party of 15. Overall, seems like everyone was satisfied with their selections. I ordered the Vitello Tonnato starter - slices of thin veal with tuna sauce. The veal was tasty and went with the tuna sauce well. My entree was Beouf Coufit de 8 hrs. The beef was stewed very soft but a bit dry. The sliced Foie gras was delicious! The only issue I have was after the fact we realized there was a special menu which we were not informed of.

Disappointing. The food was good, not great, but the portions very small and the price high. Remember to ask for "tap water" as it is required by French restaurants to offer it for free. It is pure and fresh, but they will not offer it to you unless you ask, they just offer "still or sparkling" which means expensive bottled water. We noticed all the locals sitting around us had "tap water" bottles and that's how we discovered this. The music was quite loud lounge style, making it difficult to talk. I guess this restaurant suits adults staying over a bottle of red wine, better than families.

Excellent menu du jour for lunch. Beautiful restaurant in renovated cinema. Very friendly and skilled service. Particularly enjoyed pumpkin soup and scallop risotto. Not easily visible from street but definitely worth a visit

Cocktails are very average. I ordered an old fashion and it wasnt good. Food was tasty but nothing special. My friends tenderloin was heavily overcooked. I liked the raclettte pain perfue

Very cool restaurant (a converted cinema I believe) serving some of the nicest cocktails in the 3 Valleys. The menu here is very good and is somewhat top of the range in terms of the quality of the dishes in comparison to restaurants in the area. Great for a special occasion, unsure how amenable it is for children (didn’t see any there at the time). The steak is top notch and the photos show the Houmous, the La Salade Caesar and the Ile Flottane dessert (no photo of steak unfortunately). Will be back!

This restaurant’s entrance is hidden with steps leading down to a basement with a cosy bar and lounge area with the dining tables in a mezzanine area upstairs. The ambience is classy with dim lighting. The menu has a range of dishes to share and numerous entree and main dishes to choose from. They also cater for young children with a kids menu. The food is very gourmet with the salmon gravalax, cod fish in Thai curry sauce and beef confit stand out dishes. Unfortunately we were too full to try the desserts, so will need to return to try again. There is a good selection of mocktails, cocktails, beer and wines to choose from. The restaurant is well staffed with friendly and efficient service.
