Chamonix Eating, drinking and dancing
We’ve gone to new heights to find the best places in Chamonix to warm up with a hot chocolate, chill out with a cocktail, drink in the views and feast on fine food.

Atmosphere
The rather understated entrance reveals a fantastic riverside restaurant serving excellent French and Savoyard food. Book a table with a view over the river.
123 Place Balmat,

Hameau Albert 1er
The best restaurant in town by far, with two Michelin stars, this gastronomic extravaganza is one of those unforgettable experiences you can justify to yourself (or the bank manager) once in a blue moon.
38 Route de Bouchet
(+33 (0)4 50 53 23 27)
La Cabane des Praz
Right next to the golf course outside Chamonix, this is a very chic and stylish restaurant. Lunch on the terrace in the summer or next to the fire in winter is just perfect. The menu’s somewhat eclectic, ranging from Savoyarde favourites to Italian dishes and Dublin Bay prawns; all of it’s delicious.
Route du Golf, Les Praz

Bistrot des Sports
This is a popular place for a drink. All that pine panelling means there’s no chance you won’t realise you're in the Alps.
182 Rue Joseph Vallot

MBC
This Canadian-run micro-brewery has good food too but is famed for its Blonde de Chamonix, Granite Pale Ale and Stout des Drus. There’s often live music on Tuesdays and Fridays during the ski season.
350 Route de Bouchet

The Clubhouse
The food is unfussy, the atmosphere relaxed and the service wonderfully friendly. The steaks and salads are great and the bar is frankly the coolest place in Chamonix.
74 Promenade des Sonnailles

Satsuki
The Alps and sushi may seem like a strange combination but this is a great little Japanese place that does tasty set lunches.
