We stumbled upon this bar while looking for a restaurant in the area. The ambiance looked very…read morenice, so we decided to have a drink. The waiter was very nice - and spoke fluent English (great for me, since I don't speak French). The champagne was great! The owner makes her own different kinds of champagne, which you can drink on its own or mixed in various cocktails. Highly recommended!

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).

This is where we went three out of six days in Méribel after skiing. Seeing people dancing on the…read moretables was default, and two of the days happened to coincide with Russian Holiday which, we learned, meant pretty girls in little fur panties shaking their cute little butts on the tables... 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.

Jessica who was behind the bar shaking things up was one of the owners I believe and her other right hand was the fab Jean Baptiste. Both were so nice and great to chat with. They had a great story. The drinks! Negronis, boulevardiers, Cab franc wine and Vieux carre. We had some pretty fabulous cocktails. The playlist they were playing was outstanding ! Some great oldies and just great music. Whoever does that part deserves recognition. We definitely closed this place down, but had the best time.

On my first visit to Lyon, I convinced my friend for us to make a stop at Le Fantôme, so we did and…read morewe were both very confused because although the menu items matched those in the pictures, we felt like we were in the wrong bar. I say this because in one of the pictures we saw a rooftop view but when we arrived it was just a two story, house-like ambiance, which at the end of the day worked out anyway as we were very comfortable and it wasn't noisy at all, but still very confusing. The drinks were out of this world! I got the shark in a bikini or something along those lines and it was served in a Tiki cup while my friend's was served in this little stout looking jar. My drink wasn't too strong which is exactly how I like my cocktails so I was very impressed. All in all I would definitely come back here if ever in Lyon again :)
