Haute Cuisine

Since 1903, at Albert 1er, the family tradition has been passed down like a good recipe, with both rigour and freedom. On Chef Damien Leveau's plate, local products take centre stage: Char, a whitefish from Lake Geneva, snails from Mont Blanc, and herbs from the garden picked that morning. There’s no fixed signature dish, but a vibrant, instinctive, and ultra-seasonal cuisine. Leveau loves contrasts. Sometimes, two dishes for the same product, hot/cold, land/water, and surgically precise cooking. For dessert, pastry chef Valentin Garnier plays with combinations that might raise an eyebrow before ultimately winning you over… Chocolate-truffle or parsley-chocolate? A Michelin star and an impression that lingers on the palate.

38, route du Bouchet - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Located in the legendary Hôtel Mont-Blanc, Le Matafan offers refined yet unpretentious cuisine. Served under the glass roof or around the central fireplace, chef Mickey Bourdillat's cooking puts a fresh spin on tradition: Lyonnaise sausage with truffles, barbecued beef chuck, or a "wellness" menu for those quieter days. The menu changes every two weeks, so you'll never be bored. The creations are a journey from the French Alps to the Aosta Valley, with even a few forays into the Mediterranean.

62, Allée du Majestic - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Breathtaking views of Mont Blanc, a chic yet unpretentious atmosphere, a highly skilled team, and cuisine that grows (literally) with the seasons. Under the guidance of Emmanuel Renaut (3 Michelin stars, MOF) and led by Chef Quentin Veyrat, the restaurant celebrates vegetables, herbs, and Alpine produce, often sourced from the in-house garden. Beetroot tartare, roast venison, citrus soufflé… Generous, precise cuisine, deeply authentic that conveys the soul of the mountains without ever diminishing them.

69, Chemin de l’Hermine - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Dining at 3,842 metres. That's the concept. Perched atop the Aiguille du Midi, Le 3842 offers a timeless and extraordinary gastronomic experience. Panoramic views of the Vallée Blanche, an intimate atmosphere, and, since winter 2025/26, an immersive experience combining games and a three-course lunch. A murder mystery or treasure hunt before drinks on the terrace, followed by dinner overlooking the glaciers. Definitely not your average restaurant.
