Cozy inside. The onion soup to start was delicious. We had the Perriade (beef only) for the main. Beef was very, very tough. Really disappointing. Very difficult to cut and chew! Potatoes Savoyard were very good.

We ordered the duck and the chicken along with a green salad and potatoes gratin. See images for evidence! Table service was good and our waiter was very handsome and polite. Atmosphere was pleasant. We sat outside. The tables outside are arranged very, very close together, so if you want space this may not be your place. Also, make a reservation. It gets busy. I would absolutely recommend eating here if you staying in the Chamonix city center and you are looking for a French cuisine with all the traditional favorites. The price is good too! Each individual entree is about 25 euros, house wine is 9euro a glass. The multi course dining prefix is around 35 euros. Fine food for an affordable dining price. This was an excellent dining discovery for us after a long day hiking in the mountains.

The restaurant is in an excellent location, offering an astonishing view of the mountain range. We really enjoyed getting to sit outside and take in these views with our meal! The atmosphere is also amazing and I loved the interior of the restaurant. It has a chic chalet style to it which provides for a lovely, slightly romantic ambiance. I thought the service was great as well. Our server spoke good English and was able to explain the menu to us. Food comes out freshly prepared in a timely manner too. I will say the prices are a little bit higher, but I think that is a reflection of the touristy nature of the area, along with Le Monchu's use of high quality ingredients and large portions. I ended up starting with the Sarti Spritz--which was excellent, a little pricey, but strong with good flavor. My friends ended up ordering the gazpacho and French onion soup and thoroughly enjoyed it! For our mains, we ended up splitting 2 fondues between the 4 of us. My one friend and I had to try the Wood-Fired Raclette cheese that was served with charcuterie and potatoes. This was a whole experience as the cheese is served with a wood-fired burner and you are meant to shave the melted cheese off to accompany the accoutrements. The cheese had a deeper, sharper flavor than traditional fondue, but was HEAVENLY. I have no complaints about this and was very happy with it overall--would recommend. My other two friends ordered the Savoyarde Traditionnelle Fondue which included garlic & white wine, accompanied by charcuterie and diced bread. This was more of your standard fondue served in a large melting pot. The flavors of this fondue were different from the Raclette, but also very good. The portion was huge and we struggled to finish it. Overall, Le Monchu was an excellent choice for lunch while visiting Chamonix. The atmosphere was everything, the service was great, and food was absolutely amazing! While the prices are definitely higher, it is definitely worth it. The food has so much flavor and the portions are very generous. I was extremely impressed with the overall experience and would highly recommend eating here for a memorable meal!

    Average, just average is the best definition. Nice location, typical food but quality just mehread more
