The end of August always has a slightly different atmosphere in Méribel.
The busiest weeks of summer are behind us, the days are slowly getting shorter, school bags are starting to reappear and September routines are gradually returning.
For families who live here year-round, those extending their mountain stay a little longer, or anyone simply passing through, the start of the school year often means getting back to a more structured routine: school, work, activities, schedules… and that eternal question at the end of the day:
What are we eating tonight?
At La Terrasse du Village, we think back-to-school season is already busy enough.
Sometimes the best plan is simply not to cook.
Where can you have dinner with the family in Méribel?
At this time of year, Méribel starts to become quieter.
The resort gradually moves into interseason, some businesses reduce their opening hours and others close for a few weeks before winter.
But for families living locally or spending a few more days in the valley, it’s still nice to be able to go out for dinner without checking ten times whether the restaurant is actually open.
At La Terrasse du Village, we stay open all year, including throughout September.
Located in Méribel Village, we welcome families for lunch, dinner, a drink on the terrace or simply one of those evenings when nobody feels like spending time in the kitchen.
An easy dinner after a long day
Back-to-school season usually means busy days.
School, commuting, work, appointments, sports and after-school activities can quickly make September feel hectic.
After a day like that, eating out doesn’t need to be a “special occasion”. Sometimes it’s simply an easy way to slow down for an evening.
That’s exactly the atmosphere we try to keep at La Terrasse.
You don’t need a birthday, anniversary or big celebration.
Come because you want good food, some time together and, for once, someone else to take care of dinner.
A restaurant in Méribel Village open all year
One of the biggest advantages of La Terrasse is that we stay open year-round.
Méribel changes enormously between seasons, but we remain here in the heart of Méribel Village.
That means you can visit us in the middle of winter, throughout spring, during summer and also during the quieter weeks of September, October and November.
For local residents and families, that makes La Terrasse particularly convenient: there’s no need to wait for the ski resort to reopen before you can enjoy a meal out.
Enjoying the terrace a little longer
Back to school doesn’t necessarily mean the end of summer.
September can still bring some beautiful days in the mountains, with comfortable temperatures and particularly lovely evening light.
It’s often one of the nicest times to enjoy Méribel Village without the crowds of the main holiday periods.
And when the weather allows, our terrace is the perfect place to hold onto that summer feeling for just a little longer.
Dinner outside, a drink with friends, the children enjoying one of the last mild evenings…
The proper routine can wait until tomorrow.
Where can you eat with children in Méribel?
Finding somewhere the whole family can enjoy doesn’t need to be complicated.
At La Terrasse du Village, we regularly welcome families, children, groups of friends and people who live locally throughout the year.
The atmosphere is relaxed, our Méribel Village location is easy to access, and our menu offers plenty of choice for different tastes.
For families, it’s also nice to be able to go out without turning dinner into a military operation.
Arrive, sit down, eat and enjoy yourselves.
And most importantly, nobody has to do the washing up.
Back to school, without restarting everything at once
September is always presented as the month when everything begins again.
But there’s no rule saying every routine has to return immediately.
Sometimes the nicest way to start the new school year is to keep a little bit of summer going.
Keep going out.
Enjoy the good weather.
Share dinner together.
Take your time.
And leave the cooking until tomorrow.
At La Terrasse du Village, we’re open every day to see you through the transition from summer into autumn.
Whether you’re in Méribel for the start of the school year, visiting during interseason or simply passing through, there’s always a table waiting for you.
