I like this place because after a long walk you can finally rest somewhere, there isn’t too much shadow outside, but the view makes up for that. You can also see the Mont-Blanc-Massif from here.

Truly a GEM in Chamonix!! We came for the apple pie and ended up having not only dessert, but also lunch, coffee and a whole wonderful afternoon on the sunny terasse. The hike, the resulting view and all the dishes we tried were simply fantastic - you can feel that the chef enjoys their craft every bit of the way. Jessica lights up the place with her hospitality, smile and positive energy - thank you for a great time!! 100% worth a visit :) Note: As much as card payment is not accepted you have the option to pay with PayPal or other options, which definitely did the trick for us.
