Albert 1er - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

I had two lunches there, both fabulous! The first day I had the tasting menu and the second day did a la cart. I preferred the tasting menu because I love small portions of many offerings. All of the wine suggestions were lovely, I ordered by the glass. Yes, it’s expensive but absolutely worth it!

Compared to other one star restaurants this was about 9th out of the 10 best i have been to in the last couple of years. Above average on the price but not the most expensive. But it is Chamonix. The service was great if not a bit old fashioned and the drinks and food also great. But i can’t really remember any of the dishes or cocktails standing out which is why you go to this type of place. Great effort, very good food but missing something new.

Je pense que l'accueil téléphonique est à revoir, le sentiment de gêner la standardiste est vraiment très désagréable.

We are pleased that our busy schedule during a short stay in Chamonix allowed us to squeeze in a lunch at this centennial establishment, something we have wanted to do for months. An oasis of peace not far from centre town. The dishes are innovative (e.g. the first course of the foie gras served two ways, and many of the starters) and excellent. You may have had better pigeons or sweetbreads served at other multi-Michelin-star restaurants, but the impeccable service here made the whole experience truly delightful. Our two-year old baby had his most refined pasta dish ever, and participated fully in the tasting of the dessert chariots! It should have at least 2 stars, and is pretty good value for the quality offered.

We have been to Albert 1er at least 20 times in the last 10 years. It never disappoints.The food is obviously outstanding. Very refined. Some could say "relatively classic french gastronomy". My impression is that the level of creativity has been increasing over the years. It is THE place to go in Chamonix for a great lunch or dinner. Prices at lunch are rather reasonable. The sommelier always has great recommendations. Service is perfect.
