If you're up for a ski holiday, consider going to Morzine! This is an awesome ski resort town in the
French Alps, offering up exciting slopes and incredible views that you won't see anywhere else. And since this is still part of France, a country known for its exceptional cuisine and culinary arts, you can bet that there are a ton of great restaurants in Morzine too! More than just the winter athlete in you, you can also unleash your inner foodie by enjoying what places like L'Atelier, Chez Nannon, Le Petit D, and La Chaudanne have to offer.
Chez Nannon
Located on the Nyon side of Morzine, Chez Nannon is one of the town's finest hotspots. It's a former chalet-turned-restaurant, promising a homely ambiance that will wrap you in warmth. As for their food, it's all about the Alpine classics. Think wood-fired beef rib that will fill you up with just one plateful (yet you'll still want more!). Or 'Vacherin,' a type of French cheese that dates all the way back to the Middle Ages. And to finish off your meal in the best way possible, there's their array of delicious desserts. Pick your choice between a blueberry tartlet or chocolate profiteroles!

L'Atelier
As the in-house restaurant of
Hôtel Le Samoyède, L'Atelier is undoubtedly one of the finest restaurants in Morzine. No less than the Michelin Guides themselves have recognized its potential, though they have yet to reward this establishment a much-deserved star. Nevertheless, both the food and the service here remain top-notch. Led by the prominent Chef Alexandre Baud-Pachon, they serve the finest haute cuisine in this part of the French countryside. It's all about traditional Savoyarde fare made more excellent by Baud-Pachon's hands and his incredible staff. What's not to love?
