Marmottons Bar and Brasserie
Chamonix
The Marmottons Bar and Restaurant is at the bottom of the Grands Montets cable car in Argentiere. It's open from early in the morning to apres-ski, so you can pop in for a morning coffee, treat yourself to lunch or a nice beer for apres-ski.
Inside the restaurant is fairly small, so you need to be quick to grab a table at lunchtime - especially as it seems to the local hangout for the ESF ski instructors! There is a conservatory that is large and heated with a woodburner in winter so you can look out onto the bottom of the slope and stay warm.
When the sun is shining there are deckchairs facing Mont Blanc and a large terrace so you can have a long, lazy lunch.
As for the menu, there's your usual mountain fayre including omelettes, chips, burgers, croutes and gratins. It's more like a bustling canteen than an intimate restaurant, but it does the job!
