Samoens has an excellent choice of bars and restaurants that compliment the relaxed lifestyle. There are over 20 local restaurants that offer some of the best local French Savoyard cuisine and wines, from rustic pizzas, raclettes, tartiflettes and wholesome steaks, for those who have worked up an appetite after a days skiing.
a few of our favorites....
Our own personal favourite place to eat is RESTAURANT MEZZANINE
We stumbled upon this restaurant on our very first evening in Samoens and we have been in love ever since. The genuine hospitality and excellent cuisine combined with the elegant and warm feel of the restaurant made it a truly pleasurable experience. There is also a cocktail bar with an open log fire, for those who want to enjoy an aperitif in the luxury surroundings.
