Missing Val d’Isère, Méribel or La Clusaz? Dreaming of wild nights at La Folie Douce, curling up in a wooden chalet, indulging in a terrace tartiflette after a day on the slopes, or dipping bread into bubbling fondue in freezing temperatures? No ski pass, no train ticket needed: the best of the Alps is just a Navigo pass away. Follow our guide to the best raclette and fondue spots in Paris, from ultra-palatial to great-value favourites.

Why you’ll love it: A cult winter address adored by the jet set in Megève, Gstaad and Courchevel, La Ferme Saint-Amour lands in Paris for the very first time, perched high on the rooftop of the brand-new Hôtel SAX Paris, in a discreet corner of the 7th arrondissement. Facing the Eiffel Tower, a magical mini forest unfolds near the elevated bar, revealing a spectacular chalet that looks like it’s always been there… and yet was built at lightning speed. A total change of scenery.

On the menu: As with the other Annie Famose Group restaurants, Michelin-starred chef Eric Frechon (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) delivers a heartfelt tribute to alpine gastronomy. Start with the signature Gstaad cocktail (Tanqueray Ten gin, génépi, vermouth, Granny Smith syrup and dill, lemon – €26), then dive into pure winter comfort food: fireplace-cooked leeks with mountain herb jus (€28), an outstanding farmhouse onion soup infused with fir and topped with reblochon espuma (€26), scallop carpaccio (€36), alpine raw-milk fondue for two (€48; black truffle +€35, morels +€20), and wood-roasted Mont d’Or (€56), served with addictive cured meats and smoked baby potatoes. For dessert: green apple sorbet splashed with génépi (€14) or an indulgent Mont-Blanc with pear and blackcurrant (€18).

La Ferme Saint-Amour on the Rooftop of Hôtel SAX Paris, LXR Hotels & Resorts, 55 avenue de Saxe, Paris 7th. Until Sunday 8 March 2026. Open nightly from 7pm to midnight. Online reservations (two seatings) or +33 6 87 95 47 55.

Why you’ll love it: Set in the courtyard of the trendiest palace on Place Vendôme, the enchanting Chalet du Park instantly transports you to a luxury Swiss shepherd’s hut hidden in the forest. A cosy cocoon designed around a stunning solid oak table, beneath a handcrafted chandelier casting a warm, soft glow. Ideal for private bookings with friends (6 to 10 guests), with impeccable service and a charming “little house” feel that makes you forget you’re in Paris.

On the menu: An exceptional feast designed by chef Jean-François Rouquette. For starters, choose between salmon marinated with pink peppercorn, lovage cream and mandarin juice, or lentil cream with truffles. Then comes a proper mountain raclette with three Saint Niklaus cheeses (plain, smoked and wild garlic), served with baby potatoes, a crisp salad, generous charcuterie and perfect smoked sausages from Maison Baud. Dessert is a highlight: an ultra-fresh, delicate fruit salad with clementines, aloe vera sponge cake and lemongrass sorbet with olive oil, created by pastry chef Naraé Kim, crowned Gault & Millau Pastry Chef of the Year 2024. Also available: an à la carte lunch menu with two starters and two mains.

Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, 5 rue de la Paix, Paris 2nd. Private bookings only until 28 February (min. 6 guests at lunch, €120 per person; min. 8 guests at dinner, €210 per person; €250 per person from 10 to 31 December).

Why you’ll love it: Set on a heated terrace overlooking the charming inner courtyard of the namesake hotel, Le Chalet d’Aristide nails the alpine vibe. Rustic tables, crackling fire pits and a cosy chalet atmosphere that instantly whisks you off to Courchevel. The ultimate touch: every seat comes with a super-snug blanket to wrap yourself in while the cheese melts.

On the menu: A three-cheese raclette (Savoie, smoked, Morbier – €39) served with an abundant charcuterie spread: Serrano ham, Corsican coppa, cooked ham, rosette and more, plus classic potatoes and mixed vegetable pickles. Our tip? Go for the truffle raclette upgrade (mmm… €11). Add a wine pairing with two bottles of your choice, and don’t skip dessert: their chocolate mousse (€10) is pure indulgence.

Le Chalet d’Aristide, 3 rue Aristide Bruant, Paris 18th. Until February, Tuesday to Sunday, 6pm–10.30pm.

Why you’ll love it: Magical and utterly immersive, the Plaza Athénée chalet sits in the heart of the stunning Cour Jardin, facing an ice rink where guests can skate before dinner (reserved for one hour for chalet diners). Inside, refined comfort reigns around a large communal table seating up to 24 guests. Special mention for the elegant tableware by French heritage brand Mauviel 1830.

On the menu: A lavish dinner imagined by executive chef Jocelyn Herland and his teams (€225 per person). Begin with an aperitif of warm chestnuts in sorrel sauce and a glass of Veuve Clicquot La Grande Dame 2018. For starters, the hard choice is between foie gras ravioli with mulled wine, truffle flammekueche with herb salad, or citrus-marinated scallops with cauliflower cream. The centrepiece: a sublime raw-milk raclette with a selection of cured meats, mesclun and smoked potatoes. To finish on a decadent note, pastry chefs Angelo Musa and Elisabeth Hot unveil a sinful chocolate fondue with glazed choux and exotic fruits.

Le Chalet du Plaza Athénée, 25 avenue Montaigne, Paris 8th.. Until 31 January, Wednesday to Sunday from 7.30pm. Also open Mondays and Tuesdays between 22 December and 4 January. +33 1 53 67 66 20.
