This is a lovely little cafe/restaurant at the end of the Chamonix main street, and it's worth…read morehaving a wander along to if you're looking for a hearty, reasonably priced meal.
With wholesome Italian food such as bruschettas, pastas and flatbreads, there is plenty to choose from to fill you up after a day on the slopes. It's also very reasonably priced, which is a most welcome change to the generally vastly over-inflated prices in Chamonix.
Service was excellent - quick and friendly, and our food was delicious.
Also - highly unusual for cheese-obsessed France, Green Soft Bar understand vegans and there are vegan items clearly marked on their menu. We both had a garlic bread to start with, and it was beautiful bread, drizzled with olive oil and rubbed with fresh garlic, then I had a pasta with vegetable sauce for my main course. It was so refreshing to get a healthy meal with proper vegetables. I was very happy! Simon H had a carbonara - and how the owner laughed at Simon's very non-vegan selection - it really seemed to tickle him!
We noticed that our pasta dishes were cooked in their pizza oven, so they were piping hot without any need for nasty microwaves. I noticed that they also do smoothies (although I think they were yoghurt based), and we had some lovely wine with our meal (again surprisingly reasonably priced).
This was the only restaurant that I manged to find in Chamonix that had established vegan options, and I would happily return. Hopefully the rest of Chamonix may catch on at some point....
