Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

10/09/2026: The location is amazing, the food is average, the problem is with some of the staff are rude and not professional. I advise you provide them training on how to deal with customers.

09/09/2026: Great place to have dinner in heart of Chamonix

16/05/2026: Our worst hotel experience ever. Among other things: unpleasant staff, a terrible manager, a steep and narrow staircase for carrying luggage, a dirty, unsoundproofed room, and much more. I do not recommend this place.

06/05/2026: We really enjoyed this place; the room and breakfast were perfect. There was a games room for everyone. The view was superb.

09/09/2026: I had a steak. It was rather hard, but the taste was good and the sauce very good. Overall I recommend for the atmosphere not for the food.

09/09/2026: Delicious food, nice friendly service.

11/09/2026: "Hello, I only have an hour, do you think it would be possible to have lunch?" "No problem, sir." Result: the dish (a steak tartare) still hadn't been served after 58 minutes. It was probably a cooking issue. So I didn't eat...

08/09/2026: The pizza was excellent. The service was too. Everything was perfect.

22/12/2025: A SHAME — RUN AWAY! We chose Les Tables de Philippe because of its advertised "gastronomic" positioning, linked to Les Chalets de Philippe. The gap between the promise and the reality is unfortunately obvious. We came via the Gourmet Passport, which has already allowed us to discover some excellent gastronomic establishments, including some at reduced rates. The price paid therefore has no bearing on the standards or the legitimacy of our opinion. We were informed at the beginning of the meal that the current Italian chef had only arrived a few days or weeks prior. This information is important because it means that older photos and reviews visible on Google do not necessarily reflect what is offered today. The menu offered during our visit was as follows: – beef carpaccio, – pumpkin risotto with sausage pieces, – vitello tonnato, accompanied by raw vegetables (a simple bowl of salad combining lettuce and a little red cabbage), – aged, but very young, cheeses, – followed by a moist chocolate cake with yogurt sauce. Overall, it's very classic Italian cuisine: recipes lacking any particular creativity, predictable flavors, basic textures, and a presentation without any noticeable effort. It's acceptable, but unremarkable, and far from the claimed gastronomic level. The service was also subpar. One of the waiters spoke neither French nor English, only Italian, making any interaction difficult. His service was very abrupt, with no apparent etiquette. A second waiter was more conventional, pleasant, but offered nothing of value. No presentation of the dishes was offered: the plates were simply placed on the table, and the staff immediately withdrew. During our conversation with the owner, he explained that "this isn't French gastronomy, but haute Italian cuisine," which he claimed was the work of a chef trained at one of Capri's finest schools. He also implied that, as holders of the Gourmet Passport, our comments were of little consequence and that the restaurant would always be full anyway. However, when we visited, the restaurant was far from full, which raises questions about the consistency of his claims. The conversation took place in a tone that was not conducive to discussion and offered no real opportunity for self-reflection, further exacerbating our disappointment. We didn't take any photos—or rather, we didn't even consider it—as the presentation of the dishes was so poor. To get an idea, simply search for the dishes listed above on Google and look at the first corresponding Google Images result. Conclusion: If you're looking for a truly exceptional gastronomic experience, both in terms of food and service, this isn't the place for you. However, if you're looking for classic, decent, but nothing more, dishes, then this is the right place for you.

21/12/2025: We would like to share our experience regarding our dinner at Les Tables de Philippe in Chamonix. We had booked a six-course tasting menu for €95. Upon arrival, we were informed of a change of chef, which we accepted without difficulty. However, a new five-course menu was offered in its place, at the same price. Presented as a gourmet Italian menu, it unfortunately proved very disappointing. While the carpaccio was acceptable, it was rather simple. The next course, a pumpkin and sausage risotto, lacked any real finesse. The vitello tonnato was the most disappointing element: meat drowning in sauce, accompanied by a simple bowl of salad, whereas the menu advertised raw vegetables. As I don't eat raw vegetables, I asked for an alternative and was served mini-quiches that seemed to have been frozen, which is hardly acceptable in a restaurant claiming to be gourmet. The cheeses were bland, and the dessert—a chocolate cake with a yogurt sauce—was something you'd expect from a brasserie. Considering the price of the menu, it was a complete disappointment. Furthermore, the service was anything but gourmet. We should point out that we had the Gourmet Passport, and therefore only one of the two menus was charged. However, our complaint is not at all related to the amount paid, but rather to the quality of the meal, which fell far short of the standards expected of a gourmet menu. Finally, when we tried to express our disappointment to the owner, he was dismissive, arguing that having the Gourmet Passport didn't give us the right to complain. A regrettable and unprofessional reaction that only exacerbated our poor experience.

01/07/2026: I was disappointed with my stay chose this hotel because I thought its central location would be a great advantage, but it turned out to be a major drawback. My room's balcony faced the bar, and the noise continued late into the night. Sleeping was almost impossible. If I closed the window, the room became unbearably hot because there is no air conditioning. If I opened it, the noise was excessive. For the very high price I paid per night, I don't feel I received good value. The hotel parking was already full when I arrived, forcing me to find alternative parking. The breakfast was also significantly more expensive than at many other places. A four-star hotel without air conditioning is very disappointing, especially during the summer. Unfortunately, the overall experience did not justify the price I paid.

02/06/2026: One of the most disappointing hotels I’ve stayed at. The room was unbearably hot, and the only solution offered by the staff was a loud fan that made sleeping uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi was terrible — in our room, the hotel network couldn’t even be detected most of the time. The location is the only thing this hotel has going for it. Other than that, the facilities, comfort, and overall experience were extremely disappointing. Definitely not worth the price, and I would not recommend staying here.

29/08/2026: A place with a great variety of good quality food, and fast and very friendly service.

29/08/2026: The waiters were very rude and impolite to us. We had a baby stroller, we sat where they told us to, and then they rudely told us the stroller was in the way. Then they served our drinks but didn't order our food until 20 minutes later, and finally they brought us the bill from another table without taking our order for coffee or dessert. We left after paying for our own food and didn't get coffee or dessert. We don't recommend it.

11/09/2026: Well, the photos speak for themselves! I highly recommend it! From the food to the very warm welcome, you can go without hesitation!

03/09/2026: What a marvel. Very good value, even though it's central, the price is very good, they make lunch menus. The service is good. And they even waited for the group to arrive from the cable car. Everything was perfect.
