Where to Eat in Mont Tremblant, Quebec

We recently returned from a wonderful visit to Mont Tremblant for Christmas. The resort of Tremblant is well known for their world class skiing and snowboarding, as well as year round outdoor activities. While there was not much snow when we visited, there were plenty of wonderful restaurants- see the full list of Village restaurants here. We did not have enough time to try them all, but here are 9 spots we did LOVE.

Note: If you’re staying at one of the resort hotels, you can walk to most locations on our list. If you’re staying off resort property and parking in one of the three lots (P1, P2, P3), take the free Cabriolet (an open air gondola) express up to the base of the village to access most of the spots on this list. The Cabriolet is open year round, but to check seasonal, and daily, hours, check here and scroll to the bottom of the page. More information on parking and accessibility to the Village here

Our Top Tremblant Dining Recommendations:

  1. Resto- Bar Le Shack, located slope side in the heart of the Village, is the perfect lunch-with-a-view spot. The restaurant is cheerfully decorated with a woodsy theme and offers massive windows that overlook the “Flying Mile” four person chair lift and beginner “magic carpet” area. There are also outdoor tables facing the Village Square, with daily activities and entertainment. Plenty of hearty pub food (nachos, poutine, mac and cheese, burgers) and warm hot cocoa and cold beers.
    Open for lunch and dinner seven days a week; no reservations accepted.
    Menu here.
  2. Le Forge Bistro-Bar & Grill is located next to Le Shack, with similar views of the slopes. The main floor is more casual, with a menu of pub favorites, and a large bar in the middle of the restaurant. The second floor steakhouse is open for a formal dinner experience, with specialty steaks grilled over a maple wood fire. 
    Open for lunch and dinner on the main floor and dinner only on the second floor; reservations accepted for dinner only.
    Bistro Bar menu here and steakhouse menu here.

  1. La Maison da le Crêpe is located a little further down the hill, still in the heart of the village, in a cozy home. The restaurant is small, less than a dozen tables, so try off peak hours for a shorter wait. There are a wide variety of crepes for those in the mood for breakfast crepes, both savory and sweet. There are even options for those who prefer more “lunch” options like the pizza crepe and the hot dog crepe, as well as salads, soups, smoothies, and even Starbucks coffee
    Open each day at 8am; no reservations accepted.
    Menu here
  1. La Savoie, located near the Crêperie is another very cozy renovated house, with two rooms for enjoying the experience of fondue. Guests can choose from either the fondue or the racelette experience. Both experiences offer a feast that includes meat, fish, chicken, cheese, salad, vegetables galore, and multiple types of bread and potatoes. The fondue options include cheese, broth, or red wine. Try and leave room for the dessert fondue!
    Open each day for dinner at 4pm; reservations are accepted and we HIGHLY recommend making one as early as possible. 
    Menu here. Note: There is a per person fee, but half portions are offered for children.

  1. Yahoo Pizza Pub is a great option for a lighter meal (but still plenty of cheese!) of pizza and a great option for take out. The pub is housed in another small house at the base of the Village, with a small patio for outdoor dining. The pizzas are delicious and the restaurant has a lively atmosphere with music most afternoons and evenings. There’s also a large variety of beer (almost a dozen drafts!), wine, and cocktail options. 
    Open each day at 11am and stays open until 1am during the week and even 3am on popular weekends; no reservations accepted.
    Menu here. Note: The small pizza is a great size and portion for one person.
  1. Microbrasserie La Diable is the quintessential pub, right in the heart of the Village, brewing a wide variety of crafts beers on site. The first microbrewery in the area, La Diable also has a great menu featuring burgers, sausages, salads, even pasta, and a generous Little Devils kids’ menu.
    Open each day at 11:30am until 9pm during the week and 10pm on the weekends; no reservations accepted.
    Menu here.
  1. Chocolato is the perfect spot for a warm chocolate drink or cool gelato, right in the heart of the Village. There are two dozen varieties of chocolate-based dips that can be used to create delicious hot chocolates, on top of ice cream or gelato, and as a fondue for fruit. The small house has a few tables, but plenty of options to go. And if you find yourself exploring more of Canada, check out more of Chocolato’s locations.
    Open everyday from 12p-9pm; no reservations accepted nor needed.
    Menu here.
  1. The restaurant at Hotel Quintessence (lower level of the stunning hotel) is a warm, inviting, sophisticated spot for a special dinner. There is a large wine bar and cellar to the right of the restaurant, which overlooks an inviting courtyard with peeks of Lake Tremblant. The menu includes unique fish and specialty steaks, and there is a children’s menu. Guests staying at a resort village can easily walk to Hotel Quintessence, but there is also valet parking for guests coming from outside the village. 
    Open all day, starting with breakfast, to-go lunch boxes, bistro for lunch, Après-Ski, dinner and options. Reservations are accepted and we suggest making a reservation for dinner or for the wine bar and cellar.
    See all of the menus here.
  1. La Petit Cachée is located just outside the main village across Lake. The “mountain chalet” decor is cozy and warm, the staff is incredibly attentive, and there is an impressive wine cellar. The menu includes many locally sourced produce and meat, and be sure to leave room for dessert. Based on our server’s recommendation, we ordered the key lime pie (in the middle of winter!) which is now on the menu year round, and it was as good as promised.
    Open each day at 5pm for dinner; reservations highly recommended. Take out available.
    Menu here.  

We hope you will follow along on our adventures on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and X

    5 reasons to visit LegoLand Discovery Center this fall:

    Legos continue to be one of my children’s favorite toys and one of their favorite ways to play. Even though he’s almost 10 years old, our son will pour over his collection and come out of his room after an hour (sometimes more!) of building to present us with a “masterpiece” of his imagination. Last year, we visited LegoLand Discovery Center in Boston, Massachusetts (technically, it’s in the city of Somerville, but it’s literally a five minute drive from downtown Boston) and had a blast! You can read about our adventures- and 12 things everyone should do when they visit- here.

    When LegoLand invited us back to celebrate the Halloween season this week, we jumped at the chance to visit! They even let us bring our friends (who are even BIGGER Lego fans, if that’s possible!), so you’ll see some new faces on the blog.

    10 Tips for Traveling in a Large City with Kids

    This summer, we’re staying mainly outdoors exploring National Parks sites. But we have visited over 15 major American cities with our children (read some of our City Guides here), and enjoy many of the cultural and historical venues. There is something energizing about the hustle and bustle of a large city that encourages me to explore by foot; I can walk for miles in a city with so much to see. Over the years, we’ve learned- first hand- many ways to safely travel in a big city. Here’s our best advice:

  • Packing a Suitcase

    You’ll hear me say it often on this site: Be prepared. I truly believe you can never be too prepared, or plan too much. And while it’s been a personal resolution (since, about, oh… 2002) to try and be spontaneous, I have a lot of evidence to support planning ahead of a trip.

    I’ve written about how to pack the car, but if you’ll allow me to micromanage you just a little bit more, I’ve got a few suggestions on how – and what – to pack in a suitcase when traveling with the kids.

    Charlestown Navy Yard & the USS Constitution in Boston, MA

    Charlestown, Massachusetts, located on the north end of Boston directly on the Harbor, is considered the oldest neighborhood in the city.  The Navy Yard was established in 1800 and over 200 warships were built and maintained there until the yard’s closing in 1974. Today, the 130 acre complex includes parks, museums, visitor centers, and two ships on display. On a busy summer weekend, over five thousand people visit in one day.

    On a recent trip to Boston, we spent the morning at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, which was a lot of fun for the whole family. You can read all about adventures here. After a quick walk to the New England Aquarium, we took a ten minute water taxi, administered by Boston Harbor Cruises, to Charlestown. There are plenty of private water taxi options, but the water taxis administered by Boston Harbor Cruises travel all over the area and are very reasonably priced. Bonus: Children ride free with a paid adult.

    Six Tips For Booking the Perfect Hotel

    I was recently talking with a friend who is booking a series of hotels for an upcoming road trip. We discussed some of the factors that help us pick “the perfect spot” and the conversation inspired me to share my tips with you. 

    This week, I am sharing six factors I always take into consideration when choosing a hotel. I’ll share a disclosure that we are partial to Marriott Hotel and have written about them in the past. But these tips are relevant for any hotel or lodging option:

    Playing “I Spy” at the Flagler Museum on Palm Beach Island, Florida

    We recently spent time exploring St. Augustine Florida, a city that Henry Flagler basically built after the start of his 1912 Florida East Coast Railway and subsequent hotels, hospitals, schools, churches, and farms. (Read more about our adventures in St. Augustine in these posts. So, it was fitting when we also traveled to the West Palm Beach area of Florida in the same trip, we spent the morning at Flagler’s “winter cottage”

    Henry Flagler was successful in the grain and salt mining industries before he helped to found the Standard Oil Company with John D. Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews in 1867.  When he married his third wife, Mary Lily Flager, in August 1901, he promised her a “waterfront winter cottage” and had “Whitehall”, as it was named, built in a record 18 months. The Flaglers spent approximately two months there each year until Flagler’s death in 1913.

  1. What a fabulous time it looks like you had with all that spectacular food! I guess when there isn’t much snow, or too much snow, the best place to be is inside enjoying food.

  2. Looks like you had a great time taste-testing around the mountain! That Microbrasserie La Diable might be my first apres-ski stop next time I’m there 🙂

  3. I’m so glad I found your blog! Been eyeing Quebec for this year’s adventures and food is the number one thing to me when visiting new places. You’ll definitely see me at the creperie and Chocolato, I have a bad sweet tooth.

  4. Tremblant looks like a fun place to visit in the winter. I’d love to ski there and enjoy some of your restaurant recommendations. Since I love crepes, La Maison da le Crêpe would be high on my list.
