Le Comptoir des Alpes

Excellent place to have a bite before or after going into the mountain. They have good wine list and wines by the glass, very sophisticated and tasty dishes. The service is also remarkable, the only disadvantage is that the meat dishes take long so if you are in a rush you can’t have them. I will definitely go back

We spent a nice evening there. The cocktails were delicious and the 3 course meal comes at a reasonable price of 57 Euros. The octopus risotto is the only dish that needs a bit of improvement. It tasted like rice with a very slight note of parmesan and not like a risotto.

When we visited on the night of December 27, 2024 (at around 9pm), the staff seemed to be extremely tired and clocked out. Different staff members took our drink orders and then circled back again asking the same question, leading to confusion. While the appetizers were nice, the main course was a disappointment. I ordered beef medium well, but it came out as well done. The manager (he was wearing a black vest) asked how the food tasted, and I noted that my beef was overcooked. The manager said that unfortunately he couldn’t remake my dish at this hour, and the best he could do was offer me a discount or a little something. My partner offered some of her scallop, which to be fair tasted pretty good. When the bill came at 11, I was simply handed a check — without asking for any feedback on the meal whatsoever. The manager who promised me a discount to make up for the poor main course also seemed to have left, which left a sour taste in my mouth as he walked back on his promise. I might have stumbled on an unlucky day, but it was quite unfortunate as I was treating my partner to a holiday meal and I was under the impression that this was a fine dining restaurant. Having been to other fine dining establishments in France, the service and quality was quite bad overall, yet the prices were high (we spent 153 Euros for two).

We had a terrible meal here. I’m uncertain how anyone would give this place a good review or why. While the place has nice atmosphere and the food looked pretty, the service and food flavor were very lacking. We had drinks, squash appetiser, foie gras, the boeuf (supposed to be filet but didn’t taste like it), scallops and slow cooked pork. The drinks tasted like they had no alcohol and were not well prepared. We asked for a replacement, and even straight whiskey tasted watered down. They charged us for the drinks that we sent back. The squash app and foie gras were tasteless. No seasoning or flavor. The filet didn’t taste like filet. It was poorly cooked not to temp, the flavor and texture were not consistent with filet. The slow cooked pork was not flavorful nor tenter as promised. The scallops were ok but very under seasoned. Even dessert was a miss - had a strange flavour and we didn’t finish. On top the service was not good at all. In the end when I was asked if we liked our meal and said no, the waiter said “so it was good”. The only good thing here was the sourdough bread. Payed and left as it wasn’t worth my time to argue. We are foodies and have eaten all over the world and this was the worst meal we had in all Chamonix. Strong suggestion to avoid and we will not return.

This is one of the highest rated restaurants in the valley for a reason. I think this is better than Albert 1er and deserves a star. You will not find better value for money in Chamonix. The food is excellent, and the price is very reasonable for the quality. Strongly recommend FOOD: Excellent. Modern Savoyard meets Haute cuisine. Compelling flavors, perfectly cooked food, delightful presentation. Brilliant all round SERVICE: Attentive, friendly, helpful, but not intrusive. Great balance. ATMOSPHERE: top notch for a hotel restaurant, nice surroundings, modern alpine style. Excellent cocktails. Coffee is very French (dark roast) but c'est la vie

We visited this restaurant in February during a skiing trip, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The food was not only delicious but beautifully presented. The service was equally impressive—friendly, attentive, and quick. The prices were very reasonable, offering great value. We were so impressed that we’ve already recommended it to our family.

I was looking for an awesome restaurant in Chamonix. I wanted something fancy with sensational food. So I went to Reddit and searched for the best restaurant in Chamonix. Everyone was talking about this place.Well, I booked it and we went. What a wonderful place! We almost canceled the reservation, because we passed by many restaurants in the center of Chamonix, but we wanted to insist and it was the best meal of the whole trip! Impeccable service and Michelin-star-worthy food. It deserves it.

We made a reservation for 6 adults for 7pm. Upon arriving , the waitress that greeted us ( I recall she was Belgian ) was rather unfriendly . We were placed on a high stool table in the corner next to the bar and after requesting a normal low seated table , we were told they were fully booked ( even though for the next 90 minutes at least there were empty tables visible to us ). To start the meal , we were provided with 3 small pieces of cracker bread which we were advised to break and share rather than just supply our table with 6 such breads . The food itself was average- the fish was over cooked and when I requested for salt and lemon , none was provided . They even got the basic espresso wrong which is quite shocking (see photo). During the meal as the waiter moved a plate , he managed to spill and stain a chair and no effort to remove the stain nor replace the chair was made (see photo ). At the end of the meal when I mentioned the over cooked fish and the request for salt and lemon being ignored , there was no apology. We stayed in Chamonix for 4 days and of all the meals we had , this was by far the most disappointing in terms of general attitude of the staff and the quality of the food .
