Le Restaurant L’Envergure

We booked for 9 a.m. on Christmas night, arrived on time, ordered the menu and champagne... after an hour the champagne was ready and no sign of the food... we saw others waiting... We got up, paid for the expensive champagne and somewhere in... Chamonix. The waitress apologised to explain that there was an IT problem and our order had not gone into the kitchen... it seemed no management in sight... as this restaurant recently reopened I would wait a long time before trying again and be sure that there are many RECENT positive reviews going before you! You don't have long-term employees working and it's a mess.

Luckily we found this restaurant at noon, at the end of our walk along the Petit balcony from Argentière to Les Tines. The weather was sunny and warm, so we sat outdoors, protected by the sun with a large umbrella, overlooking the Aiguilles and the pool of the property. In addition to the view, the food without being great was also remarkable: the fillet of the seabow (for two of us) and the lamb dog (for me). The true weak side is the price-performance ratio: the above-mentioned main dishes, a (good) glass of red wine, a small beer, a bottle of mineral water, two coffee, have cost 99 euros for three people: the highest number of our entire week stay in the Chamonix Valley.

We ate here several times during our stay at the hotel. Very convenient to just go to the restaurant in the hotel instead of by car to Chamonix or Le Praz. Friendly waiters. A little short options on the menu especially for...vegetarian (a dish) and children (no more specific), but they offered to do simple pasta with butter for the girls or half the day menu. Daily three courses for 29 euros, which were all right the nights we had. The restaurant offers some meat dishes and some fish dishes and some local savoie dishes. Good selection of appetizers and desserts. The beef file was very good after one of my daughter. The vegetarian option was not good. The cheese fondue was really good. The raclette was okay, but cheese, potatoes and salad doesn't make dinner after me. Limited selection of wine through glasses. Delicious dessert.

Excellent food service can be very fast or very slow! but always with a smile . Big day menu for 29 Euro 3 courses . Tartiflelle was from favorites

Nous sommes revenu à Chamonix pour 2 jours car nous adorons cet endroit . Une agréable surprise fut le restaurant de l'hôtel !!!! Il mérite d'être connu !! Une cuisine merveilleusement bonne à tel point que nous avons voulu voir le chef . C'est un grand passionné... à recommander vivement .
