Where to eat in Morzine
Table of Contents
L’Improviste
There are lots of places serving pizza but for the best pizza in Morzine then head to L’Improviste. This homely restaurant makes authentic Napoletine pizzas with an amazing variety of toppings.
Of course, they have the crowd pleasers such as margherita and pepperoni but they also serve carbonara pizza and montagnarde pizza with reblochon and lardons. There’s even a vegan pizza on the menu.
If pizza is not your thing then don’t fret, L’Improviste also serves cheese and charcuteries boards as well as fresh pasta and homemade lasagna. The wine list is very good too.
The HAKA
Right in the centre of Morzine is the Haka Bar, a firm favourite for its delicious food. This is one of the best places to go in Morzine after a full day skiing, mountain biking, or after you’ve picked the kids up from summer camp at the Alpine French School.
Their street food menu is full of great options including Asian ribs and Lebanese falafels, and their burgers (with a choice of five different cheese toppings) are fantastic. When the sun is shining, opt for a table on the large terrace.
For kids there’s a good selection of burgers, chicken bites and even a mocktail option.
The Hideout
Tucked up a steep hill behind the town hall is the Hideout Hostel and Restaurant. The Hideout’s menu takes inspiration from Asian street food, and you’ll find everything from delicious Nasi Goring to udon noodles.
The Hideout also serves up soul food from its Cafe Chaud food truck. Enjoy Southern fried chicken and amazing homemade burgers. Vegan and vegetarian options are also available.
La Crapahute
If you want to work for your lunch, then take a hike up Vallée de la Manche to the mountain restaurant La Crapahute. It’s a good half-hour hike up a gentle groomed back country trail, best enjoyed on a sunny day. Make sure you bring your sledges with you too as La Crapahute has the best sledge run in town.
The restaurant serves good quality Savoyard food including firm favourites such as fondue. You need to book in advance for evening meals.
La Bonbonniere
We love a grab and go option and La Bonbonnière is a great place for picking up both sweet treats and savoury snacks.
This bakery serves delicious cakes, pastries, and speciality breads; we especially love their lardon and cheese bread. They also served baguette sandwiches and quiche, which are a good option for a picnic lunch.
There is also a small seating area if you want to sit down to try one of their indulgent desserts or cakes. The bakery is just a short walk from the tourist office in the centre of town.
La Grange
Morzine is in the heart of the Savoyard region of France so you must try some of the local specialities while you’re here. This means melted local cheese, cured meats, potatoes, and locally sourced trout.
One of our favourite Morzine restaurants for enjoying traditional Savoyard dishes is La Grange. Run by a delightful couple the restaurant is cosy and full of character. Plus, La Grange offers kids portions of all the local delicacies, so if you have adventurous eaters this is the ideal place to experience the local cuisine. We love the fun of sharing a fondue as a family.
Make sure to book well in advance if you’re visiting during peak seasons.
L’Aubergade
Sunday is a day for enjoying a perfectly cooked roast lunch and our favourite spot to do this is at L’Aubergade. Not only do they serve a delicious roast dinner, but L’Aubergade has a designated sledging run meaning that during the winter season your kids can run free on the mountain and you can keep a close eye on them.
The outside seating area still gets the sun until about 2pm which makes it perfect for some fresh alfresco dining. If your kids are not into roasts there are also chicken nuggets, burgers, and pasta on the menu.
Ô Chalet
The best place for a fast-food fix is definitely Ô Chalet. Located in the heart of town, this is the perfect place to come for tasty burgers, amazing curly fries and perfectly cooked crêpes – both sweet and savoury. It’s not all fast food, however, Ô Chalet also has yummy falafels on the menu as well as salads.
Le Clin d’Oeil
Located behind the cinema in the centre of town, Le Clin d’Oeil is a truly lovely restaurant that delivers great service and great food in equal measure. The varied menu features dishes such as pan fried scallops and tiger prawns in espelette chilli butter as well as home lamb fillet, pork cheeks casserole and an aubergine and pine nuts crumble.
There’s a very good kids’ menu for €12 (for children under 12). Make sure to book well in advance as this fantastic restaurant is very popular.
Bec Jaune
The family friendly Bec Jaune is a microbrewery and gastropub that serves delicious home cooked food alongside their own home brewed beer. Everything – from their bread to their ketchup – is made in-house and, because they know a thing or two about fermenting, they also make their own kimchi, miso and kombucha.
The menu features just the kind of food you want to tuck into after a day on the slopes with burgers and ramen taking centre stage, followed by some seriously tasty desserts.
Coup de Coeur
Located right next to the tourist information centre and opposite the outdoor ice rink is the Coup de Coeur. This popular restaurant and bar enjoys a cosy interior and a lovely terrace dotted with carved wooden sculptures that has heating and blankets during the winter months.
Their tapas plates are a good option for sharing with the family.
Restaurant La Pointe de Nyon
For something a little bit different, take the Nyon cable car up to the restaurant at the top of the lift, which is also home to an aviary for wild birds and a daily bird of prey show takes place at 12pm. Order a hot chocolate and watch as Fletcher, a fearsome eagle, soars high above the French Alps.
The restaurant serves traditional mountain fare including sausages, frites, hams and tartiflette (baked sliced potatoes, garlic, onion, cream, cheese, and bacon). There’s also an indoor play area with a ball pit, ideal for babies and toddlers.
Hotel du Lac, Montriond
Located on the edge of the Lac du Montriond, this lovely hotel and restaurant enjoys great views over the stunning glacial waters. This is the restaurant to book for special occasions thanks to its fine dining menu that’s guaranteed to satisfy even the fussiest of taste buds.
Menu options include wild trout, roasted Jerusalem artichoke or braised beef shin followed by a chestnut and cinnamon brûlée or apple terrine.
During winter months, the Hotel du Lac hosts a raclette night on Monday nights, with all you can eat raclette, charcuterie, salad, new potatoes and unlimited house wine for €33.50 per person.
Also during the winter months, the hotel operates a free taxi service transporting guests from their accommodation to dinner and back again. Make an enquiry when booking your table.
La Chaudanne Wine Bar & Restaurant
La Chaudanne is one of the most longstanding Morzine restaurants. It first opened its doors in 1979 but was completely renovated in 2010 and now includes the original restaurant plus an additional wine bar. This is the place to come for good Savoyard food and great wine. They have an extensive wine list and a sommelier on hand to help guide you along.
The children’s menu costs €11 with options of pork ribs, chicken, fish fillet or baked lasagne followed by a brownie or ice cream for dessert.
Chez Nannon
Out towards the Lac de Nyon on the Nyon plateau is Chez Nannon, an Aplage chalet belonging to the Baud family. Situated at 1537, this popular Savoyard restaurant is the perfect place for lunch and good value too.
Specialities include their renowned “Patates au Reblochon” (potatoes served with reblochon cheese). Other options include wood-fired grilled meats, burgers, local dishes, a changing plat du jour, and homemade desserts. The restaurant is popular, so booking is advised.
La Rotonde
This popular Morzine restaurant focuses on seasonal local produce to create a wide and varied menu that features everything from traditional French cuisine and excellent pizzas to a tasty Beef Thai salad and a range of vegetarian options. In short, there’s something for everyone here!
Save room for the sundae menu, which is extensive and excellent.
Le Tremplin
Located at the foot of the Pleney slope and next door to the ESF Ski School, Le Tremplin is a great choice for a pre- or post-ski lesson hot chocolate (it’s also where you’ll spot many a ski monitor fuelling up with coffee before the days’ lesson begin!).
Their restaurant menu includes soups and salads as well as grilled meats, pastas, fish, and Savoyard specialities, as well as dishes from around the world (think Thai curries, Mexican enchiladas, and Salmon chirashi). For kids there is a varied menu too.
Le Tremplin is also a great spot during the summer months thanks to its large garden where they often put a bouncy castle.
Le Télébenne
This charming mountain restaurant is the perfect place to stop for a good value quick bite in between gentle blue and green pistes. The chef serves indulgent hot chocolates for the kids and vin chaud for the adults. There is a brilliant kids menu as well as tasty filling salads for the parents.
Access the Télébenne by taking the Super Morzine Gondola followed by the Zore chair lift. The restaurant is located just below the top of the Zore chairlift.
