La Maison Carrier - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

Restaurant was full on Saturday night but service and personal were very efficient ! Lovely deco like old chalet ! Menu is not big We had nice appetizers ! Plus bread with butter Excellent choices of wines Tournedos Rossini was well done Great place to try and worth it if you are in Chamonix

Our favourite restaurant for celebrating family events for over 20 years. This time it was our 45th wedding anniversary and it was as good as ever, albeit more expensive since they’ve dropped the fixed price menus. The boudin starter is a house speciality and not to be missed. My wife was equally impressed by the smoked salmon panacotta. Our evening was enhanced by the attentive, thoughtful and pleasantly humorous service from our waiter, Richard.

Fantastic French restaurant. Beautiful old style decor. Great Service. Best of all amazing food. We had the 37 menu. Starters of smoked salmon with salad or terrine with salad. Then we all had the trout with jerusalem artichokes. Delicious and well presented. Then the pudding course OMG never had such an array of delicious puddings and tarts. Almost all of them were among the best we had ever tasted. Superb lunch in lovely atmosphere. Big garden area to sit in when the weather is good too.

We had a fabulous lunch here and can't recommend the restaurant enough. Warm welcome, excellent service, sublime food and the best dessert buffet. Merci et a bientot :

After a third person recommended La Maison Carrier go to the farmhouse rather than the Michelin at Hôtel Hameau Albert 1er we booked a table for Sunday eve. Rustic and warm, La Maison is elegantly casual as opposed to casually elegant and polished, without being stiff. There are flourishes of service and tasty treats the filet of my fish from its bone at table; charcuterie to start; petit macarons to finish , and a central fireplace warming homemade pies. Blue checked tablecloths rest over white linens, under flattering lighting aside paintings of the Mont Blanc massif. The dining areas are intimate, but not crowded, branching away from the central chimney like a starfish and feature a few understated stars . I started with the herring followed by the meunière like Dover Sole accompanied by steamed vegetables and smoothly whipped potatoes served in russet red ceramic French crocks, while my counterpart chose oysters followed by the beef both the fish and the beef suggested by our server from the daily specials menu . To go with both I requested a 2016 Château de Chamirey Mercurey Premier Cru a red Burgundy Pinot Noir , which I was told was the last in the cellar, but they have an accessible wine list with lots of lovely Savoie favourites too. If you 're staying in Chamonix this is worth a visit.
