Sainte Foy - restaurants, apres-ski and nightlife

Mountain restaurants

Complementing its quiet runs, Sainte-Foy has excellent on-slope dining. At the top of the Grand Plan chairlift, you’ll find Les Brevettes, which serves delicious omelettes, and Chez Leon.

At the foot of the La Marquise chair, you’ll find the Restaurant Les Marquises: given the views, we consider their wooden terrace the perfect spot for a midday bière blonde or a glass of local rosé. Finally, with a guide, you can ski off-piste to the wonderful Chez Mérie in Le Miroir—the perfect setting for a cosy lunch with panoramic scenery.

Village restaurants

While small, there are several good-quality restaurants within the village of Sainte-Foy itself. Our must-visit is the sun terrace of La Maison à Colonnes: a beautifully restored 16th-century farmhouse serving local delicacies such as raclette, fondue, and pierrade. For more modern, yet equally high-quality cuisine, try L’Igloo.

Après-ski & nightlife

In terms of nightlife, Sainte-Foy is characteristically quiet. However, the recent opening of family-friendly Lama Llama at the foot of the easygoing Les Charmettes blue has added some much-needed après-ski, including live DJs (but no table-dancing as yet).

You can also check out CAIRN, which has a large sun terrace for enjoying a bottle (or two) of vino. Many restaurants also have bars, such as Hôtel Le Monal.  However, if you’re in serious need of a boogie, your nightlife options are not limited to Sainte-Foy: a 30-minute taxi ride will take you to the much more party-friendly Val d’Isère.
