The restaurant le Monchu Chamonix Mont-Blanc is a voyage through time where collections of diverse traditional objects rattle to make us relive the atmosphere from yesteryear of the mountain huts.
An atmosphere from yesteryear
With a collection of diverse traditional objects
Carried by the caring warmth of a large fireplace, the waiters orchestrate a real ballet while juggling with the ancestral racletos working on embers on which Le Monchu built its reputation! Raclettes, hot stone grills et other Savoyard specialties gain the fragrance from the wood fire cooking and provides to the other dishes, grills, fish and even vegetables, an aroma so delicate and a perfect juiciness and texture.
