Since it was founded in 1903, this iconic Chamonix establishment has been run by the same family. Chef Damien Leveau’s regional score (Arctic char and whitefish from Lake Geneva, snails from the Mont Blanc area, locally bred pork and lamb) underscored by produce from the herb garden, such as oxalis, lovage, citrus thyme, savory, lemon balm and sage, is served in a stylish, understated interior. The spruce hamlet is also home to Maison Carrier, which serves authentic regional fare in a former Alpine farmstead.

Go up the granite staircase, dripping with flowers and plants, to the entrance of this establishment with atmosphere by the bucketload. The pared-down, alpine interior sports a friendly, casual vibe. Should you be given the choice, ask for a table in the conservatory, which commands a knock-out view of the Arve River and the peaks of Chamonix in the distance! Recipes as Gallic as La Marseillaise, regional specialities and game in season take pride of place on the menu.

Set in a modern hotel, this restaurant orchestrates a dexterously crafted “Ascension” menu depicted by crisp, legible cuisine in the zeitgeist that brooks no compromise on the quality of the ingredients. One terrace overlooks the street, while another, quieter, faces a peaceful square.

In a smart, contemporary vibe overlooking the legendary Mont Blanc, Emmanuel Renaut and his team craft an Alpine score with a weakness for produce from the garden and the surrounding meadows. Mouth-watering modern dishes steeped in generous, delicate flavours: tartare of beetroot, celery and horseradish sauce; loin of roast venison, stuffed cabbage, game sauce; citrus fruit soufflé…The view from the terrace is particularly breathtaking.
