Do yourself a favor and come to this restaurant. Convenient to anyone staying in Argentiere and…read moreimmediately across from the train station, this restaurant feels like you're in the middle of the French Alps. Which you are! It has a locals vibe and is always packed at dinner time. The restaurant isn't fancy -- plenty of people in mountain casual attire; but the food is outstanding! We came here 2x on our trip, after a couple fabulous meals in Chamonix. Pricing isn't cheap-- we spent €100 for two both nights, with one shared appetizer, bottle of wine, and two entrees. That said the food was excellent. We had (over two nights): 1. Fondue with Mushrooms: a dream come true. We ordered one serving, for both of us to share, both nights. Creamy, warming, and dreamy. A must. 2. Lamb Tenderloins: gamey with bone in. My husband loved it. 3. Filet with mushrooms: reasonable portion in a delicious creamy mushroom sauce. Savory and filling. 4. Salmon entree: omg. This dish is amazing. Best salmon with anchovy butter. Ever. Licked the plate clean both nights. Tender, crispy, and flavorful. Absolutely dreamy.

We have eaten here around 10 plus times over the last 5 years and it's our favorite restaurant in…read morethe area. They serve so much more than Fondue. They have very reasonable pre fixe dinners. The food is not too fancy but still special and the serving portions are very generous. Dishes that we enjoyed include foie gras, steak pre fixe, onion soup and many excellent and fresh salads. The atmosphere is very nice and modern. Lighting is bright enough to read the menu. The service is very good. They also have English menus. House wine is good too

First off the bat, this place is cramped!

That being said, the burgers here are really good! We tried: The hash brown poco loco - this burger was so hefty! But also pretty decent. The hash brown made it stand out, so if you get the regular poco loco, I assume you get a pretty standard burger. Definitely not bad but nothing special in terms on ingredients. However, I really liked the bun! The outside was thicker and crispy without feeling stale. And the inside of the bun was still soft! Frenchie - this burger was my personal favorite of the two. Same compliments for the bun, but I loved the combination of the cheese and honey for the toppings. It was the perfect amount of sweet and savory. The fries and onion rings were both really good as well. The fries were really crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and salted generously. And the onion rings were pretty typical. One thing I wasn't a big fan of was how long our order took just because we were waiting on the fries which took forever. But they ended up upgrading our fries to a medium for the trouble, so no complaints here!

Authentic French cuisine options were the adult-draw including some gluten free options. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is the wait times. Because we weren't the only ones encouraged by the menu and atmosphere, the place was full and our party of 7 seemed to be its own challenge. We waited 30+ minutes for a table then had to wait some time for adult entrees. Philippe was a superb waiter and knew to get food for kids along with adult starters. We will almost certainly return with our next trip to Chamonix!

Seriously unprofessional. Their lousy team had me seated twice at different tables inside the…read morerestaurant during rush hour. Twice they asked me if I was there for lunch, and twice I responded I was just there for drinks. In both instances it was clearly confirmed as OK. We sat, they took our order and five minutes later the so-called manager waltzed in there and said no that he had to seat us somewhere else once more because he only takes lunch. So he offered to walk us to another table. He literally wanted to have us seat outside after I had been seated for minutes with my order taken, I told him no way. Then he said no deal and we just walked away. See that's the problem with monopoly, people think you will just accept whatever. We crossed the slope, literally 30 meters away there is an other place with equal food better service and pleasant staff so do yourself a favor and avoid this spot unless you like to be treated like crap. Sometimes you seriously wonder who is the customer. PS: I'm French so there was nothing lost in translation. Seriously hope folks who don't speak French were not subjected to this poor service.

We asked for the bill and was immediately presented with a tablet with the amount on (not itemised) and the card machine put in front of me. Total 160 euros. This was thd last day of our 9 day visit to chamonix and knew it was expensive but the waiter just insisted I put my card in and pay now. No please or thank yous, very aggressive and no receipt.
