Le Monchu
Opened in 1972 in the town center, this historic Savoyard restaurant is famous for cheese fondue, raclette, and hot stone grills.
Established in 1972, Le Monchu is located next to the casino and close to Place Balmat. The interior is rustic, decorated with old farming tools and coffee grinders. The menu highlights cheese fondue, raclette, and beef pierrade (hot stone grill), where guests cook the beef themselves on hot stones. Fondues range from traditional Savoyard flavors to the champagne-infused "Royale." Portions are generous, with an average cost of about €35 per person including drinks and dessert. It offers continuous service throughout the day. It is very popular during holidays and peak seasons, so reservations are highly recommended. It is located in the town center, about a five-minute walk from Chamonix railway station.
