Dinner starts at 7pm here. There weren't many restaurant options in Champex, but this was the…read morehighest rated on Yelp so we decided to give it a shot. There were only about 5 items in the menu and we ended up ordering 3 of them. Baby chicken with yogurt and spicy sauce, trout and this basil carrot salad, and tomato mozzarella salad. The trout dish was by far my favorite dish of the night. It was so fresh and didn't have any fishy taste. We picked the entire fish clean, eyes, cheek, any white meat that we could find. The tomato mozzarella salad was also delicious. Fresh mozzarella and the taste was pretty light, which went well with the tomato and salad. Great dish to start the night. The baby chicken was quite good also. It paired very well with the spicy sauce. The yogurt sauce was a bit too sour for me and overpowered the chicken taste. Also ordered their local beer to try out. It started off pretty light and smooth, but became very bitter after having the chicken. There was also complimentary bread that was fresh from the oven and well seasoned. This place doesn't have a set menu as their menu is written onto a glass wall.

A substantial slab of pork belly, the lingering smokiness and sweet, acidic BBQ sauce let me know that while I'm in Switzerland, there's still access to big, bold, meaty flavors. Paired with an Asian slaw and a baked sweet potato (yes, and odd mix, but it really worked!). And washed it down with a beautiful local rosé. And with a view of Lac du Champex that simply can't be beat!! It's a shame it my last night here, but the TMB calls!!

The lamb I got - was outstanding. Tender, juicy, thick cut that filled me up. The fondue was ok - not a fan of that apparently. The escargot was great, and I also had a bite of entrecote - was cooked perfectly as well. Bottle of wine and a glass of Armagnac each, we left the restaurant full and happy. The lights in the dining room could use a bit of dimming. That was just too bright inside.

It's definitely more of a locals restaurant than the tourist heavy spots you see on the main avenues and thus is a more traditional French restaurant. We loved the ambiance, service, food and the fairly priced wine list. Foie Gras, Escargot, Onion Soup, Veggies, Scallops and Steak were all perfectly prepared. I speak a little French but they will speak English graciously and never treated us like the tourists we were. One of our favorite meals on the Alps vacation. Highly recommended!!

Potatoes Savoyard were very good.

We ordered the duck and the chicken along with a green salad and potatoes gratin. See images for evidence! Table service was good and our waiter was very handsome and polite. Atmosphere was pleasant. We sat outside. The tables outside are arranged very, very close together, so if you want space this may not be your place. Also, make a reservation. It gets busy. I would absolutely recommend eating here if you staying in the Chamonix city center and you are looking for a French cuisine with all the traditional favorites. The price is good too! Each individual entree is about 25 euros, house wine is 9euro a glass. The multi course dining prefix is around 35 euros. Fine food for an affordable dining price. This was an excellent dining discovery for us after a long day hiking in the mountains.

You walk down almost feel side alleyway narrow road/street cobblestone instead of concrete. The interior inside feels like walked into cabin up in the mountains rather the coming from streets. All these long wooden beams across the ceiling, it multiple levels so it stand out more, there even dj area on one level, and love the vibe of it all. Menu definitely has little of everything. It Asian fusion based. I ended up starting with ceviche. Refreshing. Nice full pieces of fish. Amazing. Salmon was perfect sear, moist cooked on point, and sauce everything balance that was delicious. Finish crème brûlée was creamy, rich, and perfect. Overall great spot for Asian fusion food if in Chamonix.
