The story
At the five-star Le Kaïla hotel in Méribel, L’Ekrin by Laurent Azoulay stands as the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the resort. Here, the chef – described as a “Master Composer” – orchestrates a meal that feels both bold and sincere, rooted in the seasonal bounty of the French Alps.
Azoulay cultivates the art of perfecting dishes using local produce at its peak. His modern cuisine takes familiar mountain ingredients into new territory, balancing precision with an unmistakable warmth. The result is fine dining that never feels stiff: an à la carte menu and a set menu both highlight the chef’s ability to let the product speak while adding his own refined touch. Wine pairings are available for those who want the full experience.
The restaurant earned its Michelin star for high-quality cooking that stays true to its alpine setting. With a bar and smoking room, L’Ekrin is as much a place for an evening out as it is for a celebratory meal. Whether you choose the chef’s table or a quiet corner, the focus remains on Laurent Azoulay’s heartfelt, seasonal compositions – a clear reason why this address continues to draw diners back to the slopes of Méribel.
