La Caleche Savoyard Restaurant

Traditional local specialities located right in the heart of Chamonix town centre

Location
Chamonix

This restaurant offers a true Savoyard experience serving all the traditional regional fare as well as other brasserie specialities.

This large restaurant has plenty of space for a group meal, while retaining a cosy and warm feel perfect for a romantic dinner. Its terrace is great both in the summer and winter.

If you don't mind dining whilst being stared down on by a menagerie of stuffed animals, and enjoy a more traditional and cosy setting to eat your fondue, then definitely add this to your list.

The staff are happy to talk you through their extensive menu which includes a number of choices for fondues - you can have Swiss fondue (with Gruyere), French fondue (with Comté), and Fondue cèpes - our favourite. Specialities include escargots, foie gras, onion soup, tartiflette, pierre chaude, raclette, as well as Savoyard meats and fish from the Alpine lakes. Their wine list is extensive and carefully curated.

Open every day from 12:00 to 14:30 and from 19:00 to midnight. Non-stop service from 12:00 to 23:00 during the peak summer and winter season.
