Best burgers in Chamonix
Chamonix has a pretty extensive mix of restaurants for almost every taste and budget, but sometimes all you're hankering for after a day on the mountain is a good, hearty burger.
Whether you prefer yours veggie, with chicken, pork, traditional minced beef or even without a bun, there's a great choice in Chamonix - you just need to know where to look. We like our burgers here in the Chamonet office, so we've put together a list of our favourites (in no particular order) to help you choose where to go for your next burger fix.
Monkey
Monkey in Chamonix Sud have a great choice of burgers, from Halloumi (the Marilyn Monroe) to the spicy Road Runner, the Dude (a chicken burger with lemon aioli) and the Mowgli, which is also available as a vegan burger. You won't find many of those in France! Burgers here start from €12 without fries.

Poco Loco
Poco Loco in the centre of Chamonix is one of the easiest to find, just down the high street from the main square. If you're looking for a quick bite to eat get there ahead of the main lunchtime rush. They don't take bookings so getting there early or late, to grab a seat upstairs is a good idea.
