Best places to eat out in Samoëns
Au Relais Septimontain: The food is great, especially the Tartiflette but leave enough room for their desserts, the crème brulee is delicious!
8 M des Monts: With husband in the kitchen and wife running the show in the restaurant, the whole experience is perfect. Lovely local organic wines and products - just make sure you leave room for a gorgeous desert!
Best Mountain Restaurants
Lou Caboens: A lovely varied menu and Cedric is the perfect host. Lou Caboens is a sun trap and provides one of the best terraces in the Grand Massif. This is also one of the best places for après-ski.
The Igloo – Morillon: Wonderful outside deck. It is situated at the top of the Bergin chair lift or can be accessed via the Marvel piste. They serve great food, the Pila is fabulous, it’s a similar dish to Tartiflette.
Both restaurants open year round. A great day out in summer is to take the lifts to Morillon 1100 on to Igloo, take a hike before lunch and after walk to Morillon 1100 (1.5-2 hours).
Best Village Bars
La Reposette: Great atmosphere, great food and drink, great people and comfy vouches by the fireplace, just a short drive from Samoëns centre. It’s no wonder it’s so popular with both tourists and locals alike – it's the perfect après-ski meeting place.
Vin sur Vin: Marco’s wine bar is an ideal little bar in summer and winter and a great favourite with the locals. Enjoy a glass from a vast selection of local and international wines, accompanied by a plate of Italian antipasti, snacks or a menu.
