Hotel Le Genepi Meribel

Review by hotel critic

My recent stay at Hotel Genepi in Meribel provided a delightful gateway into the culinary landscape that showcases mountain traditions with a contemporary twist. As I settled into this charming hotel, I was eager to explore its renowned restaurant, which promises a unique dining experience through locally-sourced ingredients. During breakfast, I was pleased to find an ample selection of dishes that ranged from hearty options to lighter fare, all adhering to the region's culinary ethos. Each morning, the enticing aroma of baked goods filled the air, hinting at the culinary innovation to come. The buffet frequently featured local cheeses and cured meats, a nod to the mountain tradition that reflects the heart of the Savoyard cuisine. One particularly memorable evening was spent at the restaurant, where the panoramic views of the snow-covered mountains added a breathtaking backdrop to my meal. The ambiance was inviting, encouraging a leisurely dining experience. I savored dishes that brilliantly revisited local flavors; for example, the modern spin on tartiflette paid homage to the valley while introducing a contemporary flair. Although the service could be more attentive during peak hours, the food delivered a satisfying exploration of the region's finest tastes. Hotel Genepi truly serves as a perfect base for both adventure and culinary enjoyment, allowing guests like myself to indulge in the rich heritage of this stunning alpine locale.
