    Best burger in Tignes by far, plus the iced coffee is quite amazing, reminds me of home!

    Savoyarde cuisine is excellent in small doses. But, you can only eat cheese, butter, bacon,…read morebaguettes, and cream for so long before you just gotta make a new plan. And finding a restaurant in Chamonix that offers something else is hard, especially without getting fussy and upscale. La Petite Kitchen is really good, emphasizing locavore eating and vegetables, and offering tasty, substantial, modernized, Brit-style breakfasts when you just can't face another pain au chocolate.

    This is a small hole in the wall restaurant, near the main shuttle bus stop round about. We made…read morereservations for four at La Petite Kitchen based upon advise from Trip Adviser. All items on the menu are very fresh and are made by a small kitchen staff. The food was good, a little pricey. Service was good but a little overworked since it is a busy place. The restaurant was very busy for the Wednesday night we ate here, nearly every table was full for every time slot. Yet many other restaurants in Cham were not busy. So La Petite is a very popular but small restaurant. If you are interested in coming to La Petite, please be sure you make reservations early in the evening as popular items on the menu sell out quickly. If you want to eat at a non-touristy real French Restaurant in Chamonix, I would recommend La Petite. Just be cautioned, you will not get hugh portions of cheese, dries meat and potato that Savoy specialty restaurants in Cham may provide. But what you do get is very fresh and very tasty.

    Friendly staff, quick service, and tasty food…read more Came in with a large party of 20 people, so we were only able to choose between three burgers. I ordered the B.L.A.TCH, a fried chicken burger with avocado, bacon, relish, pickled onions, and arugula, which came with a large portion of house-made fries. The house-made brioche bun was soft and pillowy, the picked onions on the burger added a solid crunch, and the bacon was smoky. The chicken was good as well: the meat was moist, and the edges of the patty were crispy. Additionally, the fry on the chicken was light, which meant the burger wasn't very heavy. However, I thought the burger was missing a little something; the flavor was good, but nothing especially stood out to me. Personally, I feel that some sort of spicy or creamy sauce would enhance the overall taste of the sandwich. It could be that the relish on the sandwich is used to make this type of standout flavor, but I wasn't able to taste it. That being said, I enjoyed it, and it definitely filled me up. The fries were also great, lightly fried and lightly salted. I wish I had the option to try some other items on the menu, because they had some dishes that sounded delicious. To wrap it up, if you find yourself in Chamonix, definitely come and check this place out for some filling food and friendly, fast service!

    A fabulous 1950's style diner in town. It's a diner and an American store which is located on the…read more1st floor of the building. There is also an Hawaiian bar on premises which is open in the evenings. Great atmosphere, juke box classics and friendly service. The menu was classic diner style with burgers, hot dogs, nachos, milkshakes and a few other bits and pieces. I loved the poutine which was probably the only non American thing on the menu ;-) Fresh cut fries topped with gravy and cottage cheese and here it also included some mozzarella balls. The Mexican burger was excellent and the burger cooked to perfection (medium rare). If you don't like thus ask the waitress to ensure your burger is cooked right through. For me a good burger should be served medium rare. The banana milkshake was fantastic and a meal on its own :-) All in all a great experience and would happily repeat again.

    I'm very happy that we FINALLY have a diner in Geneva!!!…read more This place hasn't done much advertisement yet as it has opened mid September 2013 (less than a month ago). We passed in front and that's how we discovered this place. As mentioned in reviews before, the diner is part of a well known American and British market in town that exists for years and years. Decoration: The deco is AMAZING and much better than most of the diners in the US. It does remind a lot like diners from the Hollywood movies and it gives a pleasant feeling that you are part of something great! I can only give ALL the stars to the decoration and the fact that they made an amazing place in a short space and there's even one table for 9 people that is very comfortable. Service: Service is really great! A blond lady and an older guy were TOP, also another young guy who didn't seem to speak French! They were really running everywhere and helping and talking to everyone, even if it was quite chaotic and hard to control the people queuing. I've realized that in Switzerland people are less used to queue, in the US we saw many restaurants where people just queue and wait calmly, which was not in the case while I was at the American Dream Diner and people were quite agitated. They maybe need to create a hostess system where they take note of the name of the people queuing and who's first. People were lost but it seems it's just not part of the local culture to queue for a restaurant. Food: OKAY, this is the reason why I give 4 starts. Food wasn't great. I had many better burgers before, not only in the US but also in Geneva. Burgers are HUGE, this can be a good point for the ones with big appetite, however, they are not tasty. Meat is blend, sauce is not special at all, bread is not as fresh as it could be. It's not bad, but it's not amazing either. Although, the fries with cheddar were actually pretty amazing. We also tried the coleslaw as everyone was having a free sample when they arrive at the diner (which we though it was very kind of them and everyone appreciated) and the coleslaw was really good too, quite healthy and without much sauce and without being so sweet as many others, but it was DAMN GOOD! They also give us nice candies with the bill and it was sweet and yummy =) Overall, the experience was good and we can't wait to go back to try the hotdogs and milkshakes as the place is pretty awesome! If the burgers were amazing, we would never leave this place. If we could get the burger from INGLEWOOD or BLAQK and have the place of American Dream Diner, it would be a great combination... but guess we can't have it all! I would also love if they had American breakfast (at least on week-ends), that would be FREEEEAKING AWESOME and there're not many other places in town to compare the quality either haha... not like burgers where Geneva has some pretty decent places already.
