Le P’tit Caribou has held the “Best Mont-Tremblant Bar” title for years! Considered by many critics and magazines to be one of THE best bars internationally, it was voted best après-ski bar in North America 10 years in a row by Ski Canada Magazine and ranked fourth best ski bar in the world by Forbes.
Overall, Le P'tit Caribou is described as a lively apres ski hotspot with a big party vibe that draws crowds and can get very crowded and loud, which many find perfect for dancing and socializing but not ideal for a quiet dinner; the atmosphere is often praised as energetic and scenic, with a terrace and lake views adding to the charm, and the music and DJ sets are consistently highlighted as strong points. Food and drinks are generally solid, with frequent praise for poutine, burgers, nachos, wings and other bar fare, plus well made cocktails and a house vibe, though a few reviews call prices high and note occasional inconsistencies or slow service during peak times. The staff are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive and accommodating, helping guests navigate crowds and reservations, though some guests encounter delays or long waits when busy. Overall this spot is a go-to for apres ski and nightlife in the area, delivering a memorable, high energy experience and reliable hospitality, while those seeking a quiet meal or a calmer scene may want to plan around peak hours.
Came here after the slopes with my bachelorette group & it was amazing! Server/bartender took such great care of my party of 8! Didn't have a reservation but was quickly accommodated. Food & drinks were good. VERY CROWDED so if you're not okay with getting bumped a few times maybe not the best place but this was my favorite'party spot' of the trip! Would definitely come back!

Went here twice. First night in town, GREAT!!! Atmosphere. Got there just in time for SKI APRES or at least the Tremblant version. Great DJ, strongly poured drinks. Crab cakes & chicken bits were 7/10. Second visit hit it a bit early. Great tunes. The nachos were phenomenal!
Sarah was amazing on a chill Sunday Funday - fish & chips were ON POINT, burger was a mm standout! She made drinks customized for you, any whiskey or gin or beer you like. Plus strong music selection & even met the owner!! Not a joke here people, Le Caribou is the spot. You'll be happy you went. Late night you can explore all their levels too, so do it!! Thank you Caribou see you next time 💕👌🏼🥳
Super accueil à l'entrée principale, excellente barmaid très sympathique, bons drinks, mais petits & overpriced, musique en up & down, mais plus de bons moments que d'autre chose. Par contre le bouncer de la porte du fond… à remplacer, très mauvaise expérience avec lui! Un simplet qui exécute ce qu'on lui dit de faire sans se servir de sa tête, vraiment pas fort!

It's my second time going tonight & it definitely won't be the last!
My cousins & I shared one plate of nachos & one plate of poutine for snacks. For drinks, some of us had a mojito & a lavender haze. Everything was a delicacy but the nachos really took the cake. 👏✨
On top of that, the staff was super kind & the playlist that was on was fire. 🔥 Also, we were seated in a nice spot by the lake. 👌
This gem is located in the Mont-Tremblant village so if you're visiting the area, please go there!
I had lunch here with my family. There were 6 of us (4 adults & 2 children) & we all thoroughly enjoyed our food & drinks! Service was very good, super attentive & made some great recommendations. We had the fish & chips, wagyu burger, chicken burger, regular poutine & Montreal smoked meat poutine. Everything was fresh & delicious! We also had a few drinks. The lemonade is freshly made & was carbonated. Just a note that it was very sour, but my son absolutely loved it! We were also recommended the pina colada, which is apparently house made as well! It had real pineapple pieces in it & was sooo good! We ordered the non-alcoholic version & I still think about it. Highly recommend!
Wagyu, Vibes, & Soda Shock: A Memorable Après-Ski Experience!
Popped in for a quick bite & some après-ski vibes. We devoured wagyu burgers & fries that were so tasty, they made us rethink every other burger we've ever had. The appetizer we ordered (nachos le local) never came before our burgers so we never tried it. The music? Eclectic but fire. The service? As friendly as a golden retriever on a sunny day. Now, I get that in Canada they don't do refills like in the U.S., but we each managed to get one (because let's be real, salty fries demand soda). Spent nearly $50 CAD on drinks without a drop of alcohol - yeah, a little steep for just soda, but hey, the vibe made it worth it! Other than that, solid experience!

We went two nights in a row (Thursday & Friday). There was a clear difference in how crowded & popular this place was. Thursday night had no cover charge, & most of the attendees stayed near the main dance floor area. There was a minimal wait to grab drinks. Plenty of space to dance near the back & they allowed people to get on the bar to dance. Friday night was a $10 cover charge, the man standing out front didn't wear anything indicating he worked there. The place got crowded spilling to the back tables & onto the deck area. Heat lamps on the deck, bathrooms on the bottom floor. The smell of sweaty butt cheeks, body odor, & alcohol quickly consumed the dance floor. I witnessed a guy get carried out by security because he ran & dove over the bar. The vibes for Friday were sloppy drunk energy but if that's what you're looking for, you found the right place. Waiting for a drink took much longer than the night before. Both nights they had a similar track list (top 40s/house remixes/2000s hits) despite having two different djs. Overall a fun experience & is definitely the night life of tremlant. Danced a lot & had a good time!
Le P'tit Caribou is an absolute gem! From the moment we arrived, we were treated with amazing hospitality. Special shoutout to our server, Genevia, who went above & beyond to make our experience perfect. She helped us switch to a table closer to the heater, making our evening so much more comfortable. The food & drinks were fantastic - every bite & sip was worth every penny! Highly recommend this place if you're looking for great food, cozy ambiance, & top-notch service. Thanks, Genevia & the Le P'tit Caribou team, for a memorable night!
