Restaurant Reviews in Chamonix

With two American friends in town, who were specifically requesting a 'Chamonix cheese-fest', it seemed appropriate enough to head to Le Monchu - as 'Le Monchu' is the local dialect word for 'Tourist'. Coined in the 1800s it is a corruption of the word Monsieur and can still be heard in conversation amongst Chamoniards. Set just off the main (tourist) sqaure, just next to the Casino de Chamonix, Le Monchu is a very reasonably-priced Savoyarde restaurant, offering all the usual suspects (Fondue, Pierrade, Raclette etc) and a few specialities as well.

One thing that is obligatory to try when in Chamonix is a fondue. A big bubbling pot of melted cheese that is guaranteed to burn the roof off your mouth, send you into the deepest food coma you've ever had and cause you to put on at least a stone overnight.

One of Chamonix's most impressive buildings sits in the heart of the town, facing Mont Blanc and enjoys a great deal of sunshine on the terrace. Known to many for it's 'Tequilla Tuesdays', La Terrasse is not only a good spot for some apres ski, but also a good coffee stop, brunch venue and now Chamonix's newest tapas bar.

New this season 2019/2020, Dinners Delivered by TCS is a super cost-effective way to cater for your holiday. Tempted by their delicious-sounding menu and their promised hassle-free process, we decided to order ourselves a feast.

Monkey in Chamonix Sud have recently released their new winter menu which gave us the perfect excuse to go and review their latest scrumptious dishes.

There’s no shortage of places to get a decent pizza in Chamonix, from cheap takeaways to fine restaurants. One place that kind of sits happily in the middle is the Pizzeria des Moulins, a tiny little restaurant with a casual vibe that appears to be doing a roaring trade every night of the week.

Now that the ski season has started, we’ll be spending every spare moment on the mountain. However, what to do on bad weather days? Or when you’ve skied yourself out and need a bit of R&R? The spa at Hotel Les Aiglons does a great lunch deal that is the perfect way to relax in between ski days.

Most people know Chambre Neuf for it's apres-ski, which is largely regarded as the best apres-ski in the Chamonix valley. With a live band playing every afternoon and hundreds of people dancing on the tables you would be forgiven for overlooking Chambre Neuf as a great place for lunch.

The 10€ Lunch Break at Monkey was too good to pass up! Meeting my friend on my lunch hour, just as he came down from a quick ski up the midi, meant that it was not only a perfect location but a great deal too!

I should start this review by being honest, Monkey is probably one of my favourite places in Chamonix. Therefore, when I was asked to try their new menu I was more than happy to comply!

Chamonix has a lot of restaurants to choose from, particularly of the traditional Alpine variety, which are lovely for cosy evenings when the dark nights start to draw in.

Alpine cuisine usually involves lots of melted cheese, dried meats, heavy cream, pungent garlic - but sushi?! If you’re looking for something a bit different from the usual gut-busting Savoyard experience then a night out at Satsuki will hit the spot.

L'Impossible was originally created by a local steep skier who, after having skied some impossibly difficult lines, decided on this very apt name for his restaurant. The restaurant has since been taken over by a charming Italian family who are setting a prime example of how to satisfy your taste-buds in fine fettle.

This charming restaurant is situated in the town centre just a minutes’ walk from the Place du Mont Blanc. It has a rustic chalet feel with a cosy wooden interior that includes an open fire place. The restaurant is part of the Hameau Albert Premier complex which has a reputation for providing a luxurious experience so our expectations were high.
