(I updated this Mont-Tremblant restaurants post on Feb. 12, 2025.)
Wondering which Mont-Tremblant restaurants are right for your mood, cravings and budget? There are no shortage of foodie options in the Mont-Tremblant village, a.k.a. the pedestrian village, and in old Mont-Tremblant, which has a little village of its own.
From quick-serve to fine dining restaurants, and everything in between, the only thing you’ll need to worry about is how to find time to eat at all of the best restaurants in Mont-Tremblant. (Believe me — it’s impossible to do even if you stay for a whole week. I’ve tried.)
Mont-Tremblant restaurants: a guide
This guide recognizes all of the Mont-Tremblant restaurants at which we’ve dined, divided into two parts — both of which are listed in alphabetical order. It’s probably the most comprehensive directory for Tremblant restaurants you’ll find anywhere since it includes EVERY.SINGLE.RESTAURANT in the pedestrian village — and beyond:
PART ONE: Tremblant village restaurants
If you’re staying in the Mont-Tremblant village, you don’t need to drive to access dozens of restaurants; it’s walkable from top to bottom, so there’s no need to jump in the car and find parking if you don’t feel like volunteering to be the designated driver or you’d rather not stray far from your hotel. Once you’ve arrived in the village, you can stay in the village!
PART TWO: Old Tremblant village restaurants
However, if you’re staying in town, you may not want to bother coming all the way to the village and instead opt to have a meal or two in old Mont-Tremblant or the neighbouring towns.
Please keep in mind that the food scene here is ever-changing; we’ve been visiting every year for a decade and there’s at least one new restaurant and one that closes every time. With that in mind, be sure to check a restaurant’s own website (listed below) to ensure it’s still in business. You can also check Tremblant’s own site, which is usually up to date.

Tips & tricks for the Mont-Tremblant restaurants listings below
You’ll see that I’ve made it easy with each restaurant below to figure out whether it’s in your ideal location and if it’ll fit into your budget.
If you’re staying in the upper village at, say, the Fairmont Tremblant, you’ll want to keep in mind that it’s easy to walk down the hill to restaurants in the lower village but the cabriolet will probably stop running by the time you finish and that walk back uphill feels extra-long with a belly full of food.
Looking to splurge? That’s easy to do at many of the best Mont-Tremblant restaurants! Find the dollar signs in each listing and look for “$$$” — these are the most expensive ones. Similarly, if you’re on a budget, the least expensive eateries will have a single “$.”
Mont-Tremblant restaurants in the village
I’m going to tackle each of the Mont-Tremblant restaurant sections alphabetically just to keep us organized, but you can also find them all in this handy Google Map where I’ve plotted them all for you. You can email a copy of this to yourself or simply bookmark this post to access the map when you’re in the village looking to satisfy those hunger pangs:
A MANO | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$$ for what you get…
After looking at the menu, we were super excited to try one of the restaurants that opened in 2023. With an upscale casual Italian menu, A Mano was poised to become a family favourite. Except, it didn’t. Not because the food didn’t taste good but because it’s priced too high for the amount of food you actually get.
We grabbed a pasta and a couple of pizzas to go, and I was SHOCKED when the pizza boxes emerged from the kitchen. They were tiny. After paying $21 for a basic pizza and paying an extra $3 for mushrooms on one and $6 for about eight small pepperoni slices on the other, you’d expect a single pizza to at least satisfy my 12-year-old daughter who eats like a bird. Nope — even she was still hungry. There is no chance we would ever spend $27 again for a pizza anywhere unless it was going to be a complete meal and not a glorified snack. (I won’t even tell you what they charged me for a tiny bottle of Coca-Cola. OMG.)
I placed my hand in the photo for scale, and here’s the context you really need: I have tiny hands and wear a size 5 on my ring finger. This is one teensy pizza! (Photo taken with the iPhone 14 Pro)ALTITUDE SEAFOOD & GRILL | Website | Versant Soleil (in the casino)
How much: $$$
On the map, this is called “Restaurant Altitude.” We’ve eaten here twice, and while the first visit was really good, the second visit was INSANELY amazing! We tend to visit with the kids and they’re not exactly welcome at the casino, so you’ll need to try this place out during a sans-kids trip if your kids are too little to stay in your hotel room alone for a few hours. Located inside the Casino Tremblant, Altitude offers exceptional value considering the quality and quantity of its food.
There’s a regular menu, a tasting menu and Sunday brunch, and we tried lots of different things thanks to the tasting menu during my first experience there. A lot of them were daily specials — like the comforting parsnip maple soup or the done-to-perfection duck — but the house salad and prime rib that are always on the menu were both excellent. The dessert bar was fine overall with one standout: the pecan pie.
But the real stars of the show are the sharing platters. OH MY GOD, the sharing platters! We were a group of four so we opted for the steak platter for two alongside the seafood platter for two. Both come with several sides to round out your meal and the servings are pretty hefty so unless you’re starving, you don’t even need starters. The steak is so big at 60 ounces that it comes out to your table on its own cart with the chef who will explain the aging and cooking processes he uses before carving it for the table. Every bite was perfect, which I expect would be hard to do with a slab of meat that size. We only managed to eat half of the steak; what an incredible price at $125 for this meal.
The bountiful seafood platter came with two lobster tails, a bunch of king crab legs, at least half a dozen each of grilled shrimp and huge scallops and a big salmon filet surrounded by mussels. For $100, that’s a lot of seafood. And don’t forget that sides come with this platter, too, for that price.
The bill for four of us, which included everything you see here plus a dessert platter PLUS at least two glasses of wine each came to just $400.If you order nothing else here, though, be sure you get the roasted potatoes with cheese and bacon. It’s worth the trip just for these tasty little morsels.
We shared a dessert platter served to us on a massive wooden board. The macarons at Altitude are exceptional.
AXE LOUNGE BAR | Website | Upper Village (in Fairmont Tremblant)
How much: $$
This place is pretty slick! In addition to a GINORMOUS TV for all your sports-watching needs, Axe has an extensive bar and dine-in menu and offers a casual nook to catch the game or just nosh on a mid-afternoon snack near the fire.
The poutine here is insane and you’ll have more cheese curds than you know what to do with on your hands. The nachos are big and filling and full of toppings. And the Crisp Sweet & Salty Salad will blow your mind.
BEACH BAR | Website | Lac Tremblant (on the beach)
How much: $
Cheap eats on the beach is just what the agenda ordered during your summer visit. You can even get a meal as part of your summer activity pass so be sure to look into that before you tap your debit card. This is basic burgers, fries and the like — but great so you can just keep relaxin’ at the beach.
Note: Located at the Beach & Tennis Club and open only during summer.
BEAVERTAILS | Website | Lower Village
How much: $
The original Canadian treat (OK, maybe after maple syrup)! This warm, fried pastry dough is covered in goodness — think: simple lemon and sugar combo or salted caramel. So freakin’ good, especially on a cold day.
BEIGNES D’ANTAN | *Permanently closed*
BISTRO AU GRAIN DE CAFÉ | Website | Upper Village
How much: $
A Starbucks-like cafe but with a bistro atmosphere and even more choice, if you can imagine that. Be sure to get an ultra-fresh pastry like the almond croissant (my fave!). I love the matcha green tea lattés here. It’s the perfect pitstop for quick snacks, but note that there’s very little seating so if you wanted to stay a while, you might be out of luck.
BULLSEYE SALOON & GRILLADES | Website | Upper Village
How much: $$$
There’s an awesome kiddie menu at this steakhouse, which you can’t miss as you stroll through the upper village. I love love love the escargot, which comes drizzled in sizzling cheese. If you’re into hearty meat dishes, try the beef rib or filet mignon skewers.
CABANE À SUCRE DE LA MONTAGNE | Website | Lower Village
How much: $
One of our family faves — a visit to Cabane a sucre de la montaigne in the Mont-Tremblant village. (Photo taken with iPhone 16 Pro)This is a family tradition for us; on arrival day, we check into our hotel (any of these in my hotel Mont-Tremblant guide) and promptly head down the cabriolet to the lower village where maple syrup ice pops await. This is the cheapest experience you can have at Tremblant and it delivers every single time!
CAFÉ JOHANNSEN | Website | Upper Village
How much: $
There’s lots of seating in this chill cafe, but it fills up fast. Because of its proximity to the hill, it’s the best spot if you’re meeting people after a run. It’s got the coffee basics and lighter takeout-style fare. You might not be wowed but it’s easy and cheap. There are also nice, clean washrooms here.
CENTRAL TAPAS & NIGHTCLUB | Website | Lower Village
How much: $$$
What used to be known globally as one of the most raucous après-ski bars has been replaced with Central, a tapas bar that turns into the village’s only nightclub after dark. Does it still have stripper poles on the dance floor? No, and I can’t tell you how disappointed my kids were to learn they missed their mom’s moves back in the day, but we did finally make it here to try the food.
With four “quadrants” of food suggested on the menu, Central Tapas is exactly what you’d expect from its name — Mediterranean tapas-style dishes plus some Spanish-inspired cocktails. I have to start with the sangria, which was so divine, I ordered a second round; and I don’t normally even like sangria from a bar because it’s usually some glorified concoction of bad red wine and Sprite. Not here. At Central Tapas, each sangria is made with red wine, brandy, strawberries, figs, mandarin oranges, limes, simple syrup and soda — and it’s gorgeous.
The plates are small and pricy, but the execution is excellent. The Navajas Central dish (razor clams) was my favourite overall, but no one else in my family would touch them. It’s an adventurous plate made for adventurous foodies. The Foie & Jerez Tart was Big B’s fave and I agree that it was an outstanding flavour combo. The Patatas Bravas were better than any I have had anywhere in Spain, with the Carne Picante Empanadas following closely behind. Everyone but me loved the tacos; I thought they were merely fine. If you love pork belly, the Pork Belly Madrileño is a must. The desserts are small but mighty and I’d have a tough time choosing a favourite between the two we tried — the Choco Tarta Santiago and Passion Creme Brulee.
The dark, red lighting at Central Tapas Mont-Tremblant made food photography a tad challenging, but it didn’t change how delicious everything was. (Photo taken with the iPhone 15 Pro)CASEY’S RESTO-BAR | *permanently closed*
CHEESUS | *permanently closed*
CHOCOLATO / LOO KOO | Website | Lower Village
How much: $$
Gelato and hot chocolate will satisfy Tremblant visitors year-round thanks to another new Tremblant eatery. The hot chocolate is available in 20-something different flavours and is essentially a mix of a flavoured chocolate sauce (think fondue) and steamed milk. It’s like drinking a truffle.
We have tried the cookies & cream, caramel, salted caramel, milk chocolate, dark chocolate raspberry and dark chocolate orange flavours and every single one was outstanding. The cookies & cream and caramel flavours were very much on the sweet side, whereas the dark chocolate flavours were perfectly bittersweet; I like the dark chocolate orange so much it’s all I order now (and we come every time we visit!). You can add whipped cream and a charred marshmallow to the top as well, if you so desire.
CHOUX GRAS BRASSERIE CULINAIRE | Website | Upper Village (in Fairmont Tremblant)
How much: $$$
When we first started coming to Mont-Tremblant, this was called the Nansen Lounge. It’s in the Fairmont, and no matter what it’s been called over the years, it always remains one of our favourites; it’s nothing short of stellar. The Fairmont continues to outdo itself — and it starts with a cocktail menu that’s as inventive and impressive as you’ll find anywhere. The menu changes seasonally, so some of the dishes I’ve mentioned here may no longer be on the menu by the time you go…but trust me, it’ll all be divine.
From our most recent visit, favourites included the venison tartare, gin-infused foie gras, oysters, the warm bread, the 30-ounce grilled tomahawk steak with smashed potatoes, pan-friend mushrooms and the strozzapreti with crispy pancetta.
The apps we tried during our first visit were all winners but I had to give the foie gras and tomato salad a special shout-out. The beef short rib was, well, life. If you’re a red meat fan and you don’t order this, you should be ashamed of yourself. Finish with the chocolate cake (which is more like a mousse paired with the most divine blackberry sorbet imaginable) and lemon tart.
Coco Pazzo Restaurant | *permanently closed*
El Santo Perdido | *permanently closed*
FAT MARDIS | Website | Upper Village
How much: $$
Not really for kids but ideal for grabbing a beer and watching sports after a challenging day out on the slopes.
FLUIDE JUICE BAR | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $
Forget the cabriolet ride so you can get to Fluide. In the summer, there’s fresh lemonade being squeezed out front and inside, year-round, you can get all kinds of real juice blended just for you. This is real fruit — not purees and tapped juice. Servings are large enough to split one juice order into two or more cups so kids can share.
GYPSY | *permanently closed*
[Le Westin‘s newer restaurant is now listed below, Tigidou]
LA FORGE BISTRO-BAR & GRILL | Website | Upper Village
How much: Lower (Bistro), $$ | Upper (Steakhouse), $$$
La Forge is essentially two restaurants in one. We’ve been here four times and the first three times sat in the lower level where we faced poor, slow service or so-so food. It always seemed strange because its sister restaurant, Le Shack, is by far one of the best spots in the village! Down on this level, there are chicken nuggets and fries for the kids, and they’re not bad, but you won’t be writing home about much else. Watch out if you make substitutions; confirm if there will be any surcharges added to your bill for doing so.
Upstairs is a completely different experience. It’s fine dining with an elevated menu; the vibe is totally different and the service is notably better. The food is write-home-to-your-mama good. There wasn’t one thing I had that I didn’t swoon over. Start with the seared foie gras, duck wings and beef tartare, then share the mac & cheese and mushroom sides with your mains. You can’t go wrong with any of the steaks here. Finally, the chocolate cake — made with almond flour — makes for the perfect ending.
Whether you dine up or downstairs, the Baileys Coffee is soooooo good.
LA FOURCHETTE DU DIABLE | Website | Base of the mountain’s North side
How much: $
Basic drinks and food. We’ve only popped in for coffee so I can’t say much about the food quality since we never break for lunch over on this side of the mountain.
LA MAISON DE LA CRÊPE | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
Housed in a bigger, brighter location than it used to be (where Louis Laurent used to be if you’re a Tremblant veteran), these yummy crêpes work for any meal of the day. Note that half-portions are available as part of the restaurant’s more limited kids’ menu. The sweet crêpes are always good, but I am an even bigger fan of the savoury ones.
LA SAVOIE | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$$
My kids BEG to dine here! Make sure you get a reservation FAR in advance for this very small restaurant. I’ve been seven times and it’s always packed, even at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. They seem to do set times for seatings now and during our most recent visit, we were offered 6 p.m. or 8:30 p.m. for a Thursday evening.
If you don’t have the traditional French raclette when you dine here, you’re missing out on life itself. This is not an understatement.
It’s a half-wheel of imported cheese from La Savoie, which melts before your eyes thanks to a heated contraption in which the cheese sits. Your meal is per head ($65 each as of February 2024) and comes with lots of unlimited items like bread, potatoes and rice. For a real treat, add on the filet mignon fondue, where your skewer of beautiful beef cooks in boiling red wine. Just wow.
Sadly, there are no youth prices, so my 13 year old who eats very little doesn’t really get our money’s worth but my husband and teenage boy do their best to make up for it.
LA TERRASSE | Website | Upper Village (in Fairmont Mont-Tremblant)
How much: $$$
Veuve’s injection into the Fairmont Tremblant La Terrasse set-up is the perfect pairing. (Photo taken with iPhone 15 Pro)Forget partying with the 20 year olds down in the heart of the village (unless you are, in fact, in your twenties — in which case, definitely do that!) and head up to the Fairmont’s Veuve-inspired terrace — La Terrasse. This is a great way to play at the Fairmont if you aren’t staying at the Fairmont! That said, you used to be able to ski in from the Nansen run and make this the last stop on the way back to your hotel (if you are Fairmont guests, you can still just ski right in to the onsite Ski Valet); now you have to access Le Terrasse from inside the hotel.
The space — like the rest of the Fairmont’s outdoor pool and patio area — is new this year. But I’m not sure it’s improved. It’s bigger and it can accommodate much larger groups plus they’ve added a really cool drinking dome that’s super splashy. But gone is the intimate setting and the cozy vibe. It just feels less…special. And, to boot, they took away the best drink on the cocktail menu as well as one of the gondolas, so there’s now only one that remains.
Drinks are definitely premium and snacks are elevated, so expect prices to match. The Baileys Hot Chocolate is my drink of choice on the newer menu. Arrive early if you want dibs on the converted gondola cars, which can accommodate up to six guests. (Note that this is now in partnership with Canada Goose instead of Veuve-Clicquot and still offers a similar upscale atmosphere.)
LE COMPTOIR CUISINE ITALIENNE | Website | Upper Village (in Fairmont Tremblant)
How much: $$
I can never get enough of the Fairmont Tremblant’s signature bread pudding — made with croissants! I can’t wait for the brunch buffet to return.What used to be called Windigo and was then totally revamped to create Le Comptoir cuisine du marché — which renovated everything from the decor to the menu — is now reborn as Le Comptoir cuisine Italienne. Although Le Comptoir still has its fantastic wine list, that’s about all that remains of the former iteration. This Fairmont gem is now a higher-end restaurant that has a number of mid-range items, such as a turkey club.
Although the menu is still quite limited, there’s a good mix of classic dishes like poutine and richly flavoured Italian dishes like its gorgeous mushroom orechiette. The French onion soup is among the best you’ll ever have; the croquettas are fine but not as noteworthy as I’ve come to expect from Fairmont chefs; I would eat the truffled orechiette every night if someone would make it for me and calories did not exist; and the best dessert on the menu right now is the Choux Gras 25.
LE GRAND MANITOU | Website | Summit
How much: $
The Grand Manitou at the summit is among the best options for quick-serve Mont-Tremblant restaurants.Whether you go up the mountain to ski or just to get those killer views, the Grand Manitou is your only option for food and drink up at the summit. It’s inexpensive and the 3,000-foot views are amazing. Thanks to a huge renovation for the 2018-19 season, it’s a really bright space with loads of seating across two floors along with a revamped menu that features some awesome dishes. The chicken pot pie, for example, blew my mind and I have it on good authority from my friends that the pizza is excellent. The soups and chili remain and are all usually very tasty. You can even get mini bottles of wine up here!
LE NOMADE | [No website] | It’s on the move!
How much: $
All I know so far is that this mobile canteen is open select days of the week for lunch and snacks, and it could be located just about anywhere on the mountain, though a specific location did come up in Google Maps. Watch Tremblant’s social channels each day for clues. It wasn’t operating the midweek day we found it, so I’m not sure what they serve.
LE P’TIT CARIBOU | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
After its huge reno a few years ago, this bar has become a family apres go-to with casual eats. In summer, enjoy the stunning patio overlooking the lake. Into the wee hours, it becomes a nightclub for the younger set (check out Central Tapas & Nightclub next door if you’re in your 30s and above.)
LE Q.G. RESTO-PUB | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
This mid-village gastro-pub specializes in tartar. It’s one of my favourite Tremblant village restaurants because you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The short rib is ENORMOUS and fall-off-the-bone goodness, but the real star of the show is the meal-sized bison tartar. It’s got to be 10 ounces of tartar, held together with capers and hazelnuts. And before you wonder about that combination, stop yourself — because it’s absolutely spot on. Try the sweetly sticky pouding chomeur for dessert for a classic Quebec experience.
LE REFUGE DE TRAPPEUR | Website | Mid-mountain
How much: $
Note: you can only get here by skiing or snowboarding in; take the blue Toboggan or black Tigidou runs after turning right and then veering right again after getting off the gondola. Then as you descend either of these trails, keep watching on your right hand side for a SMALL red sign.
You may not find this on Tremblant’s official dining list, but you have to go here! Accessed only by blue and black runs (ask an Info Ski Guide to show you how to get there if my directions above aren’t clear enough for you), partway down the mountain, you’ll come to the Refuge — a little log cabin without running water or electricity. It’s serviced with gas and lit by daylight or lamplight, and during the day you can get coffee (with Baileys and whipped cream if you so desire) or tea and a mean beef stew, and by night it’s home to the snowshoe and fondue tour. It’s super cozy and perfect for a break.
LÉO | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$$
New restaurant Leo (Le Westin Tremblant) gets high praise from our foodie family. (Photo taken on iPhone 16 Pro)Le Westin Tremblant‘s newest fine-dining restaurant opened after the 2024 ski season ended so this was our first opportunity to check it out — and it didn’t disappoint. In fact, I think it offers the first viable alternative for fine dining to Choux Gras in the Fairmont Tremblant that I’ve seen…ever. The atmosphere is upscale without being snobby or stuffy; the food is elevated without relying on culinary gimmicks like foam; and the service is everything you want in a nice restaurant. In short, Leo delivers on just about everything.
The only miss for us was the lobster pasta dish, which had noodles that tasted like they were scratch-made but cooked just a bit too long. Literally every other dish — from apps to desserts — was a winner. Extra-high praise goes to the cream of mushroom soup, seared foie gras, beef tartare, burrata and steak frites.
LUCILLE’S | Website | Lower Village
How much: $$
Lucille’s opened the weekend we visited last season, and we almost made it — so this year, it was on our must-dine list. The menu is really broad, but heavy on the steak and seafood. It’s got a massive heated patio that gets really busy and starts vibing big time.
The crab dip, served piping hot in a conch-shaped bowl was a fast family favourite. (Photo taken with the iPhone 15 Pro)Overall, the food is great. The crab dip starter was so delish that I barely got more than a bite — and even my seafood-loathing son lapped it up. There are $1 oysters, which is a steal. The steak frites and ribs, in particular, are excellent. Our server told me the lobster roll is one of her favourite things on the menu, so I went with Lucille’s version of surf & turf (ribs and a lobster roll) and I honestly didn’t think it was anything special. But the ribs more than made up for it; they’re a huge portion that come swimming in a fabulous barbecue sauce. I also tried their version of a boozy Mexican hot chocolate because it was made with mezcal and I love spicy hot chocolates, but it suffered the same fate as the lobster roll. Just meh. But you’re in Quebec and the beer selection rocks, so consider that route for your mid-afternoon imbibing.
Just look at that gorgeous heated patio at the new Lucille’s in Mont-Tremblant’s pedestrian village! (Photo taken with the iPhone 14 Pro)MICROBRASSERIE LA DIABLE | Website | Lower Village
How much: $$
One of the best spots for homemade burgers and killer fish & chips, there’s something on the menu to suit the entire family. Quick service, lots of seating and, for the 18+ crowd, a free craft beer flight! Just don’t try to go gourmet at La Diable…it’s not really their jam. Try the poutine — it’s peppery gravy will have you craving more the rest of your stay.
Ô WOK | Website | Lower Village
How much: $$
This Asian fusion is always a winner, no matter what we try. It’s pretty small but if you come just before lunch or dinner, you’ll get a table. Kids with varying palates can ask for more or less spicy versions of whatever’s on the menu. We love the General Tao chicken, fritters and phad thai.
PIZZATÉRIA | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
Always good for the whole family. Beautifully crafted pizzas, superb salads, awesome desserts — and all at good prices. The menu is a bit more limited than usual right now, but it’s super fast for takeout and even my fave salad there (the arugula with melted brie and pear slices) travels well in a container back to your hotel or condo.
POCO LOCO | Website | Upper Village
How much: $$
The K Man declared this new Mexican restaurant his all-time-favourite at Mont-Tremblant. And that’s high praise. We all agreed that the food was delish from beginning to end and it offers a casual, cozy environment that’s got a dynamic bar scene vibe going for it as well.
Our kids raved about the ground beef tacos while Big B and I swooned over the chicharrón and patos birria.
RESTO-BAR LE SHACK | Website | Upper Village
How much: $$
My favourite poutine anywhere: the pulled pork poutine from Le Shack. Oh, and the French Onion soup is to die for.First of all, NO ONE calls it Resto-Bar Le Shack. It’s just Le Shack. And we simply canNOT go to Tremblant and not eat at Le Shack (at least once). It’s easily tied for first with La Savoie as one of my kids’ favourite Mont-Tremblant restaurants. Their milkshakes are so good, I usually order one for myself! The kids’ menu is great and comes with a lot of food; upgrade everywhere you can to the poutine — you’re in Quebec after all. My kids stick withe the classic, but I always go for Le Shack’s pulled pork version (which I really wish was still cooked and served in cast iron pans…le sigh).
You’ve gotta try the stacked nachos, too!
And thanks to the new heated patio that Le Shack introduced this season — including beautiful new tables with built-in fires — the lineup for lunch was much shorter and you don’t have to completely disrobe to eat. It’s not quite as warm as the heated patio at Lucille’s but it’s pretty darn good.
Le Shack definitely ranks among the best Mont-Tremblant restaurants! (Photo taken with the iPhone 15 Pro)RICOCHET CAFÉ & TERASSE | Website | Upper Village (Fairmont Tremblant‘s lower level)
How much: $
This is an awesome spot to grab a hot cocoa or coffee, and you have the option of snacking on pastries or to-go sandwiches. There’s communal seating so you might be cozied up with strangers, but you have a good shot at getting a seat, which are better odds than at some of the other cafes around the village. I especially love the birchir muesli for hearty, on-the-go fuel.
Samurai Pub | *permanently closed*
If you like sushi, you’ll be glad to know that even this restaurant has closed, there’s a new spot in the village — Yama-No-Kami Pub. See below!SOCAL KITCHEN | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
You want oysters? Fresh salads? Melt-in-your-mouth meat and fish dishes? This is it. Plus, it has such a casual vibe that it doesn’t matter if you’re fresh off the mountain or all gussied up. My kids maintain that SoCal has THE best French fries in the world. The tuna tatake is incredible, as is the black cod. I also love the kale and blueberry salad.
SMOKE’S POUTINERIE | *permanently closed*
STARBUCKS | Website | Lower Village
How much: $
I mean, it was bound to happen — Starbucks arrived in Tremblant several years ago, and I like that its prices aren’t insane like at, say, Niagara Falls. Just be prepared for slower service than you may get in your hood.
ST-HUBERT EXPRESS | *permanently closed in the pedestrian village but there is a St-Jovite location that I added to the map for you*
TIGIDOU | Website | Mid-Village (in the Tremblant Westin)
How much: $
We had a buffet breakfast here during a stay many years ago and it was pretty good, but priced like a typical hotel restaurant breakfast. Honestly, there are better options that offer more bang for your buck. Watch out for the new O&B restaurant launching in Le Westin soon, called Leo. I have big expectations for that one!
VIVA THÉ | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $
Do your kids like bubble tea and treats from Japan? Do you need an origami set? Then Viva Thé needs to be on your must-visit list in the village.
YAMA-NO-KAMI PUB | Website | Upper Village
How much: $$
Yama-No-Kami Pub has filled the sushi void left when Samurai left this very location a few years back. (Photo taken in extremely low light with the iPhone 15 Pro)Seating is tight and there isn’t a lot of it, so if you have your heart set on Japanese while you’re making plans for the Mont-Tremblant restaurants you want to visit, make sure you get a reservation. And if you have your heart set on wagyu, make it an early reservation — it was sold out by the time our 6 p.m. reservation rolled around. That said, if you have your heart set on trying the matcha tiramisu dessert, better make that reservation later — it wasn’t finished setting by the time we finished our meal at nearly 8 p.m.
There are both hits and misses at this restaurant, newly opened this season. Most important — pack your patience; service is slow. Although the menu is set up in a sharing style, I recommend you decide and order everything all at once. Unless you want to wait upwards of 30 minutes for your next set of dishes like we did.
Hits include the miso soup, gyoza (both options are yummy but the shrimp and veggies one was the best), ton negima (pictured above), tori karaage and the hamachi roll.
Misses include the other sushi rolls we tried (they fell apart and there was nothing remarkable about any of them, which is a crime in the $19-25 price range; the singular ramen dish on the menu is available before 4 p.m. only; and the overall timing.
YAOOOO PIZZA PUB | Website | Mid-Village
How much: $$
If you don’t go looking for it, you’d never know it’s there. But it’s worth finding because with a huge new patio addition and a fresh take on the menu, the pizza is even better than before — OMG, the dough! — and LOADED with toppings.
The charcuterie board is ah-maze! While I normally LOVE a spicy cauliflower dish, this one on the new menu is *extremely* spicy and the cauliflower could be roasted more to bring out some caramelization to balance it. If you don’t get BOTH desserts at Ya’OOO, stop talking to me forever. The cookie comes in its own personal little cast iron pan and is to.die.for and the cinnamon rolls are the thing of dreams.
Either dine in or get your ‘za to go. In the summer, it’s nice to take it down to the pond behind Ya’OOO’s back door. Tables and ducks await!
Restaurants in Old Mont-Tremblant
While I haven’t been to nearly as many Mont-Tremblant restaurants in Old Tremblant and the surrounding area like Saint Jovite, I do have some suggestions for you and will continue adding to this section as we eat beyond the village…
SEB L’ARTISAN CULINAIRE | Website | 444, rue St-Georges, Mont-Tremblant
How much: $$$
One of the most sophisticated Mont-Tremblant restaurants, we love, love, love it here! Without question, it’s the best restaurant we’ve tried in Old Tremblant. Everything from the pasta to dessert is phenomenal and created with so much care.
LE MADGRILL TREMBLANT | *permanently closed*
RESTO PUB AU COIN | Website | 1900 chemin du Village, Mont-Tremblant
How much: $$
This is a pub through and through — and the food is proper pub-style food that hits every comfort note imaginable. The burger is awesome, the Croque Monsieur is legit and the fries are the equivalent of the best chip truck fries you’ve ever had.
MILLY’S RESTAURANT | *permanently closed*
LE VIEUX FOUR | Website | 973 rue de Saint Jovite, Mont-Tremblant
How much: $$
The meal we had here was kind of bizarre. Parts of it were excellent (like the escargot with Roquefort, seafood linguine and the chocolate cake) and parts of it were absolutely awful (like the boring kids’ pizza with a crust both my kids refused to eat — a first — and both the parmesan fondue and tiramisu…and I usually LOVE tiramisu). The service here was also very slow and inconsistent. I won’t be racing to return any time soon.
