Restaurant Reviews in Chamonix

The Hotel Aiguille du Midi Restaurant in Les Bossons is an idyllic setting for an excellent meal, with stunning views over the Les Bossons glacier and Mont Blanc from the beautiful terrace at lunchtime and a large, grand dining room for an evening meal.

For ladies who lunch, or sporty folk who are starving after a hard morning skiing and snowboarding! Either way, the breakfast & brunch menu at Monkey in Cham Sud has something to suit everyone.

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.

A crisp sunny day at the very start of winter. With the snow falling all of yesterday, today was definitely a good day to get a lovely warm lunch in one of Chamonix's central restaurants!

It was a very snowy Sunday morning and, after a long Saturday on the slopes, we were in dire need of some substantial nourishment to replenish our energy and prepare us for an afternoon of riding powder. So we decided to head to Monkey Bar & Restaurant and try out their new Brunch Phonics concept.

Anyone who knows me well is fully aware that I need no excuse to go to Chambre Neuf. During the winter months it became my second home with its famous après ski and great cocktails during happy hour. Now that it is summer, the evenings are lighter and ideally I am supposed to be outside doing all things active, rather than drinking into the evening. I realised I needed a new pretext to visit Chambre regularly. So naturally I was delighted when offered the opportunity to visit my favourite establishment in Chamonix to try their new menu.

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.

Tucked away from the main street and overshadowed by the larger restaurants outside the lift station, you could easily miss Le Basilic in Les Houches. Make sure you don’t. This great little restaurant serves delicious food in a cosy, romantic atmosphere.

It's always a good sign when you stop off somewhere for lunch that it's busy. The down side is that you might have to wait a little bit for a seat, but thankfully not today!

Perched up in the small hamlet of Les Moussoux, boasting wonderful views of the Chamonix valley and its imposing mountains lies the Auberge de Bois Prin, a five-star hotel with a wonderful restaurant.

Now it may seem strange to many people on holiday, especially the Brits and Americans, that France are not a nation known for their good breakfast! At least, not the way we like it...a long lazy brunch over eggs benedict and pancakes, or a full English breakfast.

The Hameau de Albert Premier is undoubtedly one of the finest hotels in the Chamonix valley and is home to the Albert Premier restaurant, recipient of two Michelin stars. Using fresh local ingredients, Pierre Carrier and his team constantly strive to create new gastronomic delights to complement the seasons.

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.

You’d expect a Savoyard bistro on the main street of Avenue Ravanel le Rouge to be packed solid on a Saturday night , with a thick, gruyere-reeking atmosphere when you step through its doors. But Chez Constant, tucked away towards the end of the main street, is small and pleasantly cosy, not crammed with as many tourists as they can get in….and has a ‘modern’ Savoyard feel; wood everywhere, fur and cow print pillows and old family photos.

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.
