La Chaumiere - COURMAYEUR

We booked a table at this restaurant in advance to have lunch on our first ski day, but on arrival we were told that the restaurant was closed and we would be seated at the bistro, which has a completely different and uninteresting menu. I ordered a polenta with mushrooms, which was not very good. My husband thought his salad was good, and the kids said that their pizzas were okay. However, my son's pizza came out 45 minutes after our food. The waiter had no good explanation, and we watched pizza after pizza be delivered to the neighboring tables (who has ordered after we did), while we waited for my son's food. This is really not acceptable, and the waiter was not apologetic. The restaurant should have informed us in advance that its main dining room was closed, as we would not have chosen to eat at the Bistro. I would not recommend. Every other meal we had on the mountain and in town was excellent, except for La Chaumiere.

We visited here most days for, coffee, lunch or Apres drinks as staff were very friendly. Lovely food and drinks more reasonable than bar’s further down, also a better position to ski back to the cable car. We only ate upstairs as the weather was so nice, would advise you to book on a weekend when it’s busier.

We have just spent three days in Courmayeur as a group of friends. We had lunch in the bistro upstairs. It was sadly the most disappointing place we ate, both on the slopes and in the town. Staff were great but our table was so cramped we were all uncomfortable and the food was ok but expensive for what it was relative to every other restaurant. A shame as great location and feel could be really good. The restaurant downstairs may well be better but didn’t eat there.

Tasty basic lunch on the slopes. Excellent service, friendly staff. Onion soup to be avoided but cheese/ham crepes and roast chicken very tasty dishes.

Superb food, excellent service, and amazing views. Highly recommend it! Huge thank you for a fabulous experience!
