I can't give this place one star because it deserves points for effort. But I also cannot give it…read morethe 4 stars it might deserve because the owner is mean and lame. In 2014, the only choice for an after ski party at the base of the slopes was La Follie Douce. In 2015, that changed with the arrival of the new dance floor at 360 Bar. They have gone for the same music style and massive tables for people to dance on like the Douce but the atmosphere is less cool. What is fun about the Follie Douce (or what was fun before the music there became mostly terrible) is that you can go in and buy expensive drinks if you want....or you can chill outside on the snow with your friends enjoying the sun and the music and your own snacks/drinks that you brought in your backpack. Maybe you will go get one drink from the bar...but when it is over 15 euros for a coke and a Desperados (ok the Desperados was for a FRIEND I promise)...the appeal is limited. The music is not THAT great... It is like with music or movies or whatever, if the price is too high, people find an alternative means to getting what they want. So this place blasts its music and makes everyone on the slope have to listen...but if you come close by to check it out because you enjoy the DJ and want to drink a beer of your own - without even entering in the bar or the dance floor - the owner will come and give you crap. In his words, "Pas ca chez moi" and in response to our pointing out that he doesn't own the snow "Ici - c'est chez moi". What a dode (a dode is a really lame dude - who is in effect a buzz kill for something fun - like a guy no one knows who is hitting on your girlfriend at a party - or drinking all the beer without having brought anything himself). So between the let down of the Follie Douce this year and this dode, I think I might have to find a new ski resort for next year.

I love this restaurant. Like, actual love right here…read more The food is amazing. I had a cod dish and it was divine. My friend had some sort of lamb, which she shared with me and I couldn't decide which I preferred; they were both so good. The waiters were lovely. They were English (always helps when your French is limited to grammatically-incorrect pleasantries) and made lots of recommendations to suit us. They also gave us each a free shot of the infamous, home-brewed toffee vodka, which is the nectar of the Gods. The restaurant itself is really cute - very rustic French chalet-esque, with the appropriate antique ski memorabilia on the walls. Very reasonably-priced in comparison to some of the other restaurants in Méribel
