Le Bistrot, Chamonix

Well in my opinion it can’t be better than living in the hotel Le Morgan in Chamonix. Why? Simply because the hotel’s restaurant is run by a young chef, Mickey Bourdillat who got his first Michelin. The only better hotel is probably Albert 1er, and you'll read soon why :-)

Very inventive, creative and... different dishes; with a lot of taste, flavors, support and freshness. The exclusive use of local ingredients for sure gives this restaurant an edge and I'm looking forward for more.

Surprisingly good, Le Bistrot is without any doubt a fantastic French restaurants, with a friendly stuff and excellent wine list by the glass. Above menu was served together with a wine menu (5 different wines).
