La Clusaz - restaurants, apres-ski and nightlife
Restaurants in town
La Clusaz is a delightful mountain village, and you'll find no difficulty in eating well at one of the wide choice of restaurants. La Calèche is good for a Savoyard fix.
Le Grenier and L’Arbé are both popular in the heart of the village, while a little further out in Les Confins is Le Chalet du Lac. This claims to be the oldest farm in La Clusaz, and serves local dishes in a lovely setting.
Mountain restaurants
La Clusaz is famous for excellent mountain restaurants, and plenty of them. We applaud the fact that most have retained table service.
We like La Vieille Ferme at Merdassier (rely on the menu du jour), and the Relais de L'Aiguille at Crêt du Loup has good food and a sunny terrace. Le Bercail on the Crêt du Merle has excellent tartiflette, but (unsurprisingly) gets crowded at lunchtime.
Nightlife
La Clusaz is not the most boisterous ski resort, but there are bars for every mood. Maybe Le Salto for early après-ski drinks (it has Sky TV and draught Guinness), Les Caves du Paccaly and Le Grenier for live music, and later L’Écluse nightclub, with its glass dance floor over the river.
