The best bars and cafés Chamonix-Mont Blanc

Just a few steps down to enter Les Caves du Cap Horn. The wine bar combines traditional mountain wood with contemporary lighting and decor. A convivial space for a moment of relaxation before or after a meal in the restaurant - Les Caves serves the same menu as the Cap Horn restaurant - in a different and unique atmosphere. A wonderful place to party too, as the bar transforms into a dancefloor at night. Ideal for starting or ending the evening in Chamonix's hippest spot!

Not to be missed for its originality and good spirit! An emblematic place where international youth meet in the late afternoon to enjoy a beer brewed on site with pure glacial water from the Alps and to savor burgers and other quality home-made Canadian and North American specialties. Run by Canadians who brew great beers on site, amidst pine vats, the MBC sets the pace. Weekend mornings, hearty brunches.

We're not going to close this new edition, without taking a quick look at this Atelier Café, which bears its name. The friendly atmosphere of the cafés of yesteryear, but with a spirit of today. Yesterday's atmosphere, for the great friendliness of the service, the kindness of a team and today for the warm and colourful decoration, where the wood is not forgotten. Surely the place has permeated the personality of the new managers, unless it is the reverse, but the place is pleasant, and very warm, and we love this. We take advantage of the excellent breakfast formulas, and at any time of the day you will be lulled by the whisper of the Arve, on the beautiful terrace, with homemade pancakes or other small preparations. Another pleasure, in the evening, where we find ourselves among friends, to make the leisure inventory of the day, and set those of the next day around a hot drink of the Workshop, with or without alcohol, accompanied by a good pork or cheese platter: the holidays start well!

Once a stop to the efforts coming from the lower valley of the River Arve and en route to Switzerland, the bar Le Brévent today welcomes another type of clientele, still exhausted and thirsting, but rather more exotic: the Anglo-Saxons! As often in Chamonix, the British clientele is a queen in this blend lieu, skilfully taken over by Gary, the boss, who fell in love with Mont Blanc massif like so many other friends of the Manche. And that is all the better: The bar Le Brévent is a special atmosphere, which is only too rarely found in Chamonix. As a district bar used by time and seasons but where the counter always open, the chimney fire always lit and the new regulars still filled somewhere succeeds in keeping the memory of the well-awake place. We feel well, around a pint of beer shared with the customers of Gîte Le Vagabond on the floor, or sitting in front of a tartiflette or a cheese crust. The clientele is cosmopolitan and warm and bright faces. As for prices, they are disconcerting disconcerting: 3 € the happy pint of beer! The bar has just won its new visitors.
