Quartz Bar
Chic cocktail and wine bar with regular live jazz music in high season
Quartz Bar is a chic and cosy retreat in Chamonix, inspired by the translucence of ice and rock crystals. Part wine bar, part cocktail lounge, it offers a versatile atmosphere that shifts effortlessly throughout the day. Guests of the Michelin-starred Albert 1er restaurant, visitors staying at the Hameau, and locals alike gather here to enjoy a sophisticated yet welcoming setting.
During aperitif hour, settle into plush armchairs and let the sommeliers guide you through wines by the glass, champagnes from prestigious houses, or classic and seasonal cocktails. For non-drinkers, fresh fruit, tea, and garden herb-infused creations provide equally refined options. Savour tapas featuring Lake Geneva perch, smoked fera, and exceptional hams, perfectly complementing your drink of choice.
Quartz Bar also doubles as a lively artistic hub. Resident and local musicians fill the space with jazz, pop-rock, and classical melodies from December to March and June to September, bringing an intimate, cultural touch to your evening.
By day, the bar transforms into a cosy observatory. Sip hot chocolate or tea while enjoying homemade pastries and gazing over the Hameau’s garden, bathed in seasonal light. In summer, the shaded garden becomes a serene hideaway. Quartz Bar blends elegance, flavour, and culture, making it a must-visit spot in Chamonix at any hour.
