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.
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 💕👌🏼🥳
I don't usually leave low reviews, but this bothered me enough that I feel I have to. There were 5 of us out for dinner. None of us could find the price for pop on the menu, but we did see that Red Bulls were $6. Naturally, we assumed pop would be less than that. Yes, it's our fault for not asking, but it feels like a pretty brutal marketing tactic when the bill comes & pop is $8. Overall, the food was good, but this left a misleading impression for me.

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!
This place was a vibe. Variety of music playing with the sunset & the trees. Very scenic & relaxing. The fish tacos were nice, a little spicy & the pickling a bit too tangy for me. The wings were good as well with blue cheese & they put the spice on the side. The amaretto sours were absolutely delicious. Shame they are so tiny so had two! Service is excellent, very friendly & accomodating staff. They speak English & checked you were happy throughout. Went during the evening & their were kids also eating there so, family friendly. Everyone was enjoying themselves. Would visit again for the party vibes!

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!
En visite durant les vacances d'été pour un repas du midi. Le repas était excellent. Nous étions seuls dans le resto donc difficile de parler de l'ambiance mais nous avons très bien manger avec des bonnes portions pour un prix raisonnable si on compare à d'autres restaurants sur la montagne.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Melina is absolutely incredible - her service is beyond fantastic. She goes above & beyond every single time, with a level of care, attention, & professionalism that's hard to find these days. She's not just good at what she does - she's so good that we honestly want her with us all the time! Melina, you're a gem. Thank you for making every experience with you feel effortless & amazing. Don't ever leave us!
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!
