Let me first state that had I been at least 10 years younger LFD Meribel would almost certainly be…read moregetting a higher score. Alas, its raison d'être is just not for me. During a recent ski trip our group ended up coming here twice so we got to see both sides of its 'character' for want of a better word. On the first visit it was literally pulsating with bass, booze, table dancing and excess. The (ahem) 'VIP section' was filled with the spoiled brats and rich elite we can imagine love these kind of places. When someone orders a huge bottle of champagne or spirit it is not simply brought to them by hand, but placed in a large perspex box and slowly pulled over the crowds below via a zip-line with pink smoke billowing from its top. Cue multiple smart phones videoing the spectacle. Not wanting to sound like a complete party pooper I have to admit that the atmosphere was infectious (I may have danced a wee bit to the Europop that was blaring from the speakers). I did, however, feel like a fish out of water here. The second visit was at lunchtime which was much quieter and overall more palatable (atmosphere wise and food wise). Though the meal options are on the expensive side (but what isn't in Les 3 Vallées?) there were plenty of decent things to choose from in their slick, spacious and modern restaurant inside. The place was busy with families, ski schools and groups alike, a world away from the rowdy table dancing the previous afternoon. Tip: the easiest way to get to LFD from Meribel town is via the Saulire gondola lift, exiting at its first stop and then skiing/walking down the slope a short distance. Tip: there's a gift shop for LFD merchandise should you wish to buy a memento (that is, if you have any money left after eating/drinking here).

Had lunch here one day. The inside of this restaurant (and I mean RESTAURANT, not that self-served part) is gorgeous. Monstrous cheese are covering the walls up to the ceiling, and tables are covered with white table cloth. We were starving and started begun our meal with an assortment of cheese. As expected, it was as mouthwatering and beautifully served as only happens in France. The main course, a chicken split in two, was pretty good too, but in comparison to the exceptional cheese I was not blown away. Meal was around 60 Euro with a bottle of wine and two beers for our company. Next day I was back, I chose only cheese, bread and wine. Mm.

The dinner proved to be a big hit with my kids and was a nice break from some of the expensive/formal options we chose on our recent trip. Highlights are definitely the classic local cheese dishes like tartiflette and Raclette, although, as is the case with most restaurants, they will only serve the latter as well as Fondue for a minimum of 2 people. The atmosphere is most definitely casual; you can come in in a sweater and jeans and be as well dressed as anyone. The focus of the food is value (relatively, you are after all in one of the most expensive ski towns in France). Service is typically mountain/French, running the room with fewer employees than you are used to in the US, so the pace is slower, and they do only 1 turn an evening, meaning you are eating either around 7 pm or around 9 pm.

Once we finished our drinks, we were shown to our table in the charming old building, and proceeded to have a wonderful lunch.   We found the service impeccable and the whole experience something you simply can't find at a ski resort in Colorado, where we saved one place (Alpino Vino in Telluride).  Prices match the experience at Clos Bernard; expect to pay upwards of 100 Euros per person for lunch, but the food and, more so, the experience seem worth it to me. For that price and a touch more, we had a lovely bottle of Burgundy recommended by the sommelier, drinks for the girls who shared a steak and fries, while my wife and I had a massive raclette, and we finished off with desserts for 2. I would highly recommend Le Clos Bernard, based on my experience and some other reviews I read online. Aim for an earlier reservation to limit the variables on how long lunch can take for those enjoying themselves in front of you.  Also, be prepared for a bit of a ski out after lunch. I was either incompetent or the internet reviews are delusional about the 30-second uphill.
