Le Refuge - Megève

We came to restaurant accidentally, and it was the best thing we have done in Megeve. The stuff was very welcoming and supportive. We very thankful for them as we came without a reservation. The food is very testy and the service unforgettable. I consider this restaurant as hidden Gem in Megeve.

very very nice place, large portions and delicious food, I recommend! Small tip: switch the cutlery for the starter and main course, and make sure you have toothpicks in the restaurant.

The setting of the restaurant is magnificent, a long winding drive up the mountain to the snowy refuge. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and showed to our table promptly. Our table for two was quite small, and it was in very close proximity to the surrounding tables. This was fine, but I would’ve preferred a little more breathing room especially with the amount of trips the staff was making past the table. The recommendations were good and the servers and sommelier were very friendly and knowledgable. The wine suggestion was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was good, we started with snails which were excellent, my partner then had the Bresse chicken which was magnificent. My beef wellington was good, but it needed more of a second lager under the pastry, it was more as if it had just been brushed with the pate. The meat was a little on the cold side. The gratin and salad were brilliant. The pudding was underwhelming, a couple of plain biscuits and a chocolate sauce with some ice cream. Maybe we didn’t order well but I expected something a little more exciting to finish the meal. Another thing to note and be aware of is that the place is extremely hot - lovely when you enter from the mountainside but not as good when you’re halfway through a bottle of red wine and you made the error of wearing a sweater with nothing underneath. We did enjoy the meal but if I could make a few changes, I would like to have been in the front of the restaurant nearer the entrance where you get more of the atmosphere and with a little bit more room around the table so I couldn’t hear every bite of the couple next to us. Oh and to lower the temperature just a little! Overall a memorable dinner but some small changes would’ve made it outstanding.

Super nice Restaurant with very good dishes. Our visit was almost perfect. Only the meat knifes for our duck that were brought to our table additionaly were dusty. Otherwise very attentive service, food cooked on point with excellent flavors, sauces and sides. Cozy mountain hut ambience.

Our best dining experience in Megeve. Beautiful setting, unbelievable food (probably the best entrecote I've ever had) and wonderful service by Oceane (hope i spelt it right) very much recommended.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had . Stunningly excellent food and top notch service and attention . Very accommodative for 4 kids aged 5-11 as well. Our waiter and his positive and funny attitude was the cherry on top. Hope to be back one day !

Our experience with this restaurant was phenomenal. Everything from the service to the food to the atmosphere was superb. We arrived early (at around 6:30pm) because Google told us the restaurant would be open (we had a reservation for 7:00pm) and the staff were kind enough to seat us and let us look over the menu while we waited. Once the restaurant was open for business the service continued to be excellent with attentive and friendly staff. Our starters were all excellent. We had an assortment of salads in addition to the green salads served with the fondue. We also tried both the natural and truffle fondue both of which exceeded our expectations in terms of taste and texture (although the general consensus at our table was that the natural fondue was better). We also tried the Côté de Veau, beef Wellington and Char (fish) all of which were exceptionally prepared and full of flavor. Finally for desert we shared the French toast. This was a very inspired take on a basic dessert. I can honestly say this was one of the best French toasts I have ever tasted. All in all this was a great experience for me and my family and I would say that Le Refuge is a must try for anyone visiting Megève.

Everything went well: the food, the ambiance, and the waiter. They were all just wonderful. We were a party of eight Americans, on a rainy Fall night, and we were waited on by a charming young man, who spoke English - which was helpful for our group, aged 40 to 80! We will definitely return! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Cute decor and excellent local food. Very attentive service. We went for the classics (fondue and charcuterie board). Added some Mac&Cheese for the kids. Bottle of wine from Savoie at $36 is a must-have addition. We went over-board for the desseets but they were all excellent. Don't miss the soufflé. Le Refuge De Megève didn't disappoint ! Highly recommended. Also: you can book your table online (and you should).

Amazing ambience, attentive and friendly service and very tasty food. Highly recommended! The black Angus filet was delicious! Ask for roasted potatoes for a healthier choice although the potatoes au gratin is also very nice.

This place is amazing. Great food, great service and it's very comfy environment. I Had the filet of beef with roasted potatoes. Must try this place.

Off season but still very busy. We had a great meal, I enjoyed the poached egg with foie and morille and their beef special for the day. With a good bottle of local wine it was a very pleasant evening. The ambiance is definitely french mountain, but that is why you go here in the first place.
