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.
I had a great dining experience at Le P'tit Caribou in Mont Tremblant, & I'd happily recommend it to others. I dined in, & the atmosphere was lively & cozy, perfectly capturing the charm of the village square-4 stars for atmosphere, as it's a wonderful spot to relax after a day outdoors, though it can get a bit noisy during peak hours.
The food was delicious & satisfying, earning a solid 4 stars. I ordered the burger & poutine & both were flavorful & well-prepared. The portions were generous, & the ingredients felt fresh, but I felt there could be a touch more seasoning or variety in the menu to push it to 5 stars.
Service was friendly & attentive, also deserving 4 stars. Our server was quick to take our order & check in, but there was a slight delay during a busy lunch rush, which is understandable but kept it from being perfect. Overall, the staff's warmth & efficiency made the experience enjoyable.
Le P'tit Caribou offers great value for a Mont Tremblant dining spot, & I'd return without hesitation. It's a fantastic choice for a casual meal with family or friends, though a few small tweaks could make it truly outstanding. Highly recommended!
This could be a great apres ski bar, great space, lots of bars, but the service was slow (at best) & the music is WAY TOO LOUD! Impossible to have any kind of a conversation.
THIS is the spot for after a long day on the slopes. Great music & energy, & surprisingly delicious food. The Titos Chicken Sandwich was great. You must go here for ski culture if you are in the area
Siamo tornati due volte al Petit Caribouz abbiamo adorato l'atmosfera. Birre ottime, consiglio soprattutto la Goose IPA (13.51 dollari), e poutine fatto molto bene (16.89 dollari). Il personale è molto gentile e simpatico e nonostante l'affollamento dedica una buona attenzione al cliente, l'arredamento è tipico e caldo, davvero un piacere passarci del tempo.

We came just for apres ski (not for food) so this review only applies to the club at night. We had a lot of fun, it gets very crowded & hard to get out. They have mandatory coat check in the club which makes sense, if youre staying close by you could probably leave your coat in a hotel Cover was $10 by default, I am glad we went on the early side so we could stand where we wanted. Bar is average priced. The vibe was mostly teens & young adults which was great for college students. The DJ was pretty bad imo, doing some diabolical transitions, but if you like clubbing its still a lot of fun
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!
