The story
Le Lodge, part of the Hotel Le Gai Soleil and Lodge Le Grand Cerf, brings modern cuisine to the alpine village of Samoëns. The restaurant sits in the heart of the Grand Massif ski area, surrounded by trails for skiing, snowboarding, and Nordic walking in winter, and cycling and hiking in summer. The setting is both relaxed and polished, with a bar, outdoor seating, and fine dining service that suits the mountain atmosphere.
In 2026, Le Lodge earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand, an award that highlights good quality, good value cooking. The recognition places the restaurant among the best affordable dining options in the region, proving that refined modern cuisine can thrive in a ski-town setting without pretension. The Bib Gourmand is a mark of consistent, accessible excellence, and Le Lodge delivers on that promise.
The kitchen focuses on modern cuisine, drawing on seasonal ingredients and French technique. While the menu changes with the seasons, the approach remains grounded: clean flavors, careful presentation, and a respect for the produce of the Alps. Guests can dine indoors or on the terrace, and the bar offers a place to unwind after a day on the slopes. Le Lodge also caters to private parties and provides delivery, making it a versatile destination for both visitors and locals.
The restaurant is part of a larger hotel complex, but its own identity is clear: a place where mountain hospitality meets contemporary gastronomy. Whether you're staying on-site or just passing through Samoëns, Le Lodge offers a Bib Gourmand experience that balances quality with the easy charm of the Alps.
