After a morning of skiing or mountain biking, the question comes up fast: where do we eat? Here’s a quick tour of the addresses at the resort and in the hilltop village, a 15-minute drive below.
At the resort
Le Chalet du Parc — the snow-front institution, since 1985. Traditional mountain cooking (tartiflette, fondue, raclette) and two terraces facing the slopes. It’s also the home base of Bogho Sport: our rental equipment is at the same address. 3141 Boulevard du Grand Pré · 04 93 59 70 75 · lechaletduparc.com
La Cafétéria du Cheiron — traditional cooking at the foot of the slopes, self-service in winter and table service in summer. 310 Traverse du Cheiron · 04 93 59 70 52
La Maison du Fondeur — on the Nordic side, at the start of the cross-country trails and MTB circuits. 04 83 66 01 65
In the village of Gréolières
La Vieille Auberge — homemade Provençal and south-western French cooking (Niçois stuffed vegetables, duck breast with honey and figs), with a shaded terrace on the square. Closed on Tuesdays. 7 place Pierre Merle · 04 93 59 03 02
La Barricade — a restaurant-pizzeria with a wood-fired oven, doubling as a fine-food grocery (Italian charcuterie, cheeses). Open year-round. 14 place de la Barricade · 04 93 59 98 68
Le Relais — a family-run bar-restaurant with a terrace, handy for a no-fuss lunch. 1 rue du Ribas · 04 93 32 03 86
Also worth noting: the Patous grocery and snack bar (597 route de Font Rougière) for essentials or an impromptu picnic.
Our advice
In high season, the resort’s terraces fill up fast between 12:30 pm and 2 pm: book ahead, or shift your lunch break. And if you prefer a picnic, the tables at the top of the chairlift make the finest dining room around — ski gear or rental mountain bike included.
