A wide choice of restaurants and bars in both Meribel and Mottaret. 3 course set menus for approx 25-30 Euros. Local specialities include fondues and raclette with wine around 30 Euros. Pizzas around 13 Euros. Try the Chez Kiki (Morel), Plein Soleil, Chez Patrick, Grand Coeur, La Taverne, Le Grenier and la Tarentaise.

Meribel is a perfect resort for families with children of all ages. The ski area is amazing; there is the large Altiport area for beginners. It is covered in green and blue runs. There are some great British speaking ski schools, which provide group lessons for adults and children, as well as private classes. For those with smaller children, there are plenty of childcare options, and chalets that are specifically suited to families, where private nannies can be booked. There is easy access to the slopes and ski school meeting points. Many of the chalets are close to the slope, and for those a little further away there are minibus driver services, and a free local bus.
