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.

With plenty of external wall space to prop your skis and snowboards against, you can enjoy a well-deserved après-ski beer (or a few) sat either outside or in. It was always buzzing when we visited, which was most days of our trip come to think of it. If you sit outside there's no need to go to the bar as they have table service which is fantastic. 'Happy Hour' finishes at 16:30 so be prepared to pay more for your drinks after that. The tables against the façade have heaters and are somewhat sheltered but the rest are open to the elements. Inside there's lots of seating but it can get very, very busy so you'll be lucky to get a seat if there's a group of you. Some evenings there's live music on here too which were really good. Tip: if you're getting lager and there's a few of you, opt for a jug instead of buying separately. You get roughly four pints to a jug.
