I gladly recommend le Vieux Megève, a traditional Savoyard restaurant in the centre of the village. It occupies a large old wooden farmhouse, with rustic mountain décor, generous family-style cooking and a friendly atmosphere.
I suggest the cheese fondue, the knife-cut raclette and the péla des Aravis, a traditional mountain dish. For dessert there are gâteau de Savoie, blueberry tart and a génépi crème brûlée. The restaurant is a family-run local institution, in the village for decades and linked to the year 1964, and part of the Sibuet family's Maisons & Hôtels Sibuet group. Its site describes it as ranked second-best fondue in Megève in 2025.
In winter it is open daily for lunch and dinner. Summer service starts on 4 July, with some closed days, and a sunny terrace is available. I strongly advise reserving ahead, especially in winter and school holidays, online or by phone. A children's menu and vegetarian options are available; please mention them when booking. Access is step-free, and for specific needs please contact the restaurant beforehand.
You will find it at 58 place de la Résistance, a short walk from the church, the ice rink and the Casino car park, with public parking nearby. Local shuttles, taxis and buses run from Sallanches and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains stations. The whole restaurant can be privatised for birthdays, weddings or seminars, seating 90 indoors plus 24 on the summer terrace, and the chef can create a tailor-made Savoyard menu for private groups.
