My friends and I came here for lunch while visiting Chamonix for the day. Le Monchu serves a…read morevariety of Savoyard Mountain, French brasserie, and wood-fired cooking dishes. The restaurant is in an excellent location, offering an astonishing view of the mountain range. We really enjoyed getting to sit outside and take in these views with our meal! The atmosphere is also amazing and I loved the interior of the restaurant. It has a chic chalet style to it which provides for a lovely, slightly romantic ambiance. I thought the service was great as well. Our server spoke good English and was able to explain the menu to us. Food comes out freshly prepared in a timely manner too. I will say the prices are a little bit higher, but I think that is a reflection of the touristy nature of the area, along with Le Monchu's use of high quality ingredients and large portions. I ended up starting with the Sarti Spritz--which was excellent, a little pricey, but strong with good flavor. My friends ended up ordering the gazpacho and French onion soup and thoroughly enjoyed it! For our mains, we ended up splitting 2 fondues between the 4 of us. My one friend and I had to try the Wood-Fired Raclette cheese that was served with charcuterie and potatoes. This was a whole experience as the cheese is served with a wood-fired burner and you are meant to shave the melted cheese off to accompany the accoutrements. The cheese had a deeper, sharper flavor than traditional fondue, but was HEAVENLY. I have no complaints about this and was very happy with it overall--would recommend. My other two friends ordered the Savoyarde Traditionnelle Fondue which included garlic & white wine, accompanied by charcuterie and diced bread. This was more of your standard fondue served in a large melting pot. The flavors of this fondue were different from the Raclette, but also very good. The portion was huge and we struggled to finish it. Overall, Le Monchu was an excellent choice for lunch while visiting Chamonix. The atmosphere was everything, the service was great, and food was absolutely amazing! While the prices are definitely higher, it is definitely worth it. The food has so much flavor and the portions are very generous. I was extremely impressed with the overall experience and would highly recommend eating here for a memorable meal!

Looking around, this lack of service seemed to be the case with many others as well. The food was mediocre at best. This is a highly overpriced tourist trap with negligent staff.

I would strongly recommend trying someplace else in fact just about any place else.

Here are a few few things we noticed: - When I made the reservation, I had seen a picture in Yelp that made it look like the outdoor seating was in a front patio but beware because that is the patio of another restaurant and the entrance to Atmosphere is next to it. While it was comfortable inside, specify the outdoor Terrace if at all possible because that is along the river and is very beautiful. - My wife ordered from one of the two fixed price menus, but I decided to order à la carte, which is definitely more expensive. - My wife started with the Alpine salad, which was very delicious. I got the French onion soup, which is supposedly one of their specialties, but I just found it average. - For a main courses, I got the beef tenderloin with seared fois gras... it was amazingly! My wife got the hotbox cheese and liked it well enough. - For her, the highlight of the meal was probably the blueberry tartlet. I got a trio of sorbets which were also very fresh and good. - Service was very very good. And the atmosphere is cozy and warm inside. Bottom line: Dining at Atmosphere was a great way to start our vacation!

I work in this industry in NYC in Times Square. I KNOW HOW TO TREAT TOURISTS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES. My husband and I have been traveling for a couple of weeks in France. Our server was an older gentleman with grey hair and a larger build. This experience made our dining experience extremely uncomfortable. How rude to try and take advantage of tourists visiting chamonix. I highly recommend you try the fabulous other restaurants in Chamonix and stay away from Le Serac. We have dined out every night while here in France and never had an experience like this. Le Serac learn how to treat tourist who keep your restraint open!!
