Albert 1er – fine dining

This beautiful establishment is nestled in a five star hotel and is a gourmet restaurant with a stunning a la carte menu. With two Michelin stars to its name, expect only the best dishes at Albert 1er. The cuisine is inspired by the traditional fare of the French and Italian Alps, and uses local, fresh ingredients. It’s not just the food that’s exceptional at Albert 1er – the restaurant is also accompanied by a vast wine cellar housing 19,000 bottles of the good stuff, so you can perfectly match a vin blanc or vin rouge with your meal.

La Crèmiere du Glacier – authentic cuisine

This little hut on the Argentiere Glacier is an absolute must visit if you want to sample the local Savoyard cuisine. Traditional food from the Mount Blanc region is served up at La Crèmiere du Glacier, and it has become a staple in its own right with history dating back to the 1920s. Try the mouth-watering fondues, delicious local gratins or the world famous croutes. Or, if you can’t decide on a delicacy just try them all!

Les Vielles Luges – mountain views

For fantastic food right up on the piste, look no further than Les Vielles Luges on Les Houches.
