Chamonix is known for its mountains but it is also a great place to eat. From lively spots in town to peaceful terraces high on the slopes, every meal here feels special.
The centre of Chamonix has plenty of choice. La Caleche and Le Sérac serve classic Savoyard dishes such as fondue, raclette and tartiflette in a cosy alpine setting. For something more modern try Munchie for Asian flavours or Moö Bar Cuisine for creative cooking and a relaxed atmosphere.
For a light bite there are cafés and bakeries across town with good soups, sandwiches and pastries. The Saturday market on Place du Mont Blanc is also worth a visit for local cheese, cured meat and handmade produce.
Chamonix has a growing café culture and is perfect for a slow morning or an afternoon break. Moodie Café, Little Boxes and Shoukâ are popular for good coffee, cakes and relaxed vibes.
Dining in the mountains is one of Chamonix’s great pleasures. La Bergerie de Plan Praz offers hearty regional food with stunning views of Mont Blanc while Le Panoramic at Brévent lives up to its name with one of the best views in the valley. For something simpler La Crèmerie du Glacier near Grands Montets is a favourite for walkers and skiers.
Wherever you eat you will find generous portions, friendly service and menus that celebrate local ingredients. Mountain cheeses, charcuterie and warming dishes are perfect after a day outdoors.
We provide all our guests with a comprehensive list of restaurant and café recommendations before their trip so you can plan ahead and enjoy the best of Chamonix’s food scene.
