What to know about each
- Le 1947 à Cheval Blanc is very small: Michelin describes just five tables, with cooking built on Savoie ingredients and Alléno's sauces.
- Slalom 1850 is led by a chef trained at L'Oustau de Baumanière in Provence, and Michelin describes a menu that moves between local ingredients, winter flavours and Provençal inspiration.
- Sylvestre Wahid serves about 15 guests per sitting at four tables, according to Michelin, pairing seafood with Pakistani-inspired spices. Courchevel Tourism listed it as currently closed when we checked, so confirm before planning around it.
- Le Chabichou offers set menus built on three themes: the chef's childhood memories, the Savoie terroir and travels in Japan.
- L'Altitude was newly awarded its star in the 2026 guide and focuses on French classics.
- Alpage, at the Annapurna, reworks Savoie flavours with an open kitchen.
- Le Farçon in La Tania draws on Savoie, Piedmont and the Mediterranean, and Michelin notes it can be reached on skis.
Where can you eat on the slopes in Courchevel?
Courchevel's mountain restaurants range from historic altitude chalets to lively lunch venues. These are listed by Courchevel Tourism as restaurants on the ski area.
- Le Cap Horn, on the route de l'Altiport in Courchevel 1850, opened in 1954 and is described by the tourist office as the oldest altitude restaurant in Courchevel 1850. It has a south-facing terrace and a broad menu from Savoyard dishes to seafood and pizzas.
- La Cave des Creux, at 2,112 m above Courchevel 1850, occupies a former sheepfold and cheese maturing cellar. It is run by young locals who are also ski instructors and has a large south-facing terrace with an outdoor fireplace.
- Le Chalet de Pierres, on the Verdons piste at the Jardin Alpin, calls itself a Courchevel institution. It serves Savoyard dishes such as fondue, tartiflette and a Beaufort tart, has a separate seafood counter and a homemade dessert buffet.
- Bagatelle Courchevel, at the top of the Chenus gondola, serves French Mediterranean food and is listed as a dancing restaurant, so expect a party atmosphere.
- Le Panoramic, at La Saulire, is a restaurant on the slopes at one of the resort's high points.
- Les Verdons, at the Verdons gondola in Courchevel 1850, is a meeting point for skiers and pedestrians with a brasserie menu and a dish of the day.
- Le Bel Air, at the top of the Ariondaz gondola above Courchevel Moriond, can also be reached on foot and serves traditional cooking on a south-facing terrace.
For a lunch break on a family ski day, places that non-skiers can also reach, such as Le Bel Air or Les Verdons, make it easier to bring the whole group together. See our guide to Courchevel with kids for more.
Where can you eat well in the villages without a tasting menu?
Several village restaurants appear in the Michelin selection without stars, and others are recommended by the tourist office. They suit a relaxed dinner or a long lunch.
- La Saulire, place du Rocher in Courchevel 1850, is in the Michelin selection for traditional cooking. Michelin mentions Savoyard fondue served alongside Périgord truffles.
- Le Grill Alpin, at the Cheval Blanc, is Yannick Alléno's Alpine brasserie, also in the Michelin selection.
- Le Coin Savoyard, rue du Jardin Alpin in Courchevel 1850, belongs to the Airelles hotel and specialises in Savoyard and cheese dishes, according to Courchevel Tourism.
- Base Kamp by Aïnata, at Le K2 Altitude, is in the Michelin selection for Lebanese cuisine. The tourist office lists a children's menu and a play area.
- Le Bistrot du Praz, rue de la Chapelle in Le Praz, is a Michelin-selected Alpine bistro with a lakeside terrace in good weather.
