“ Really nice rustic restaurant with great service and good. This was close to my apartment in Chamonix and decided to get dinner there one night. I ordered the mountain sausage and an amazing dessert afterwards. The food was top notch and the service was stellar. I will visit again when I’m back in Chamonix. ”
“ Very unique restaurant design, alot of things to see. Loved the cheerful waitress! Food was very delicious, my favorites were the Osso buco, La Tartiflette au Reblochon, then the pork chop. We didnt order fondue because my family is not a big fan of cheese ”
“ For my second dinner in Chamonix ( I had fondue the first) I was looking for a restaurant that served a Savoyard speciality: Tartiflette with farmer Reblochon and Guanciale di Colonnata, green salad, and found this restaurant. The interior decoration is something to behold. The glow of warm lighting reflects off copper pots and cowbells, creating a cozy, chalet-like atmosphere where every corner feels steeped in mountain history. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was just perfect - tasty, cheesy and the bacon added a special flavour. ”
“ This is a charming, typical Savoyard restaurant. The decor adds to the atmosphere. We had raclette, which was delicious. The restaurant was crowded on a Sunday evening - you need to reserve in advance. The service was efficient although it took awhile for our puddings to arrive. I definitely recommend La Calèche. ”
“ La Calèche was such a treat! The fondue was absolutely excellent—rich, flavorful, and perfect after a big day of adventures in Chamonix. The atmosphere is just as memorable, with the entire space filled floor-to-ceiling with authentic alpine decorations that make it feel cozy and traditional. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger, share stories from the trail, and celebrate the mountain spirit. A must-visit for anyone in Chamonix! ”
