The verdict
Le Cap Horn is the liveliest restaurant in the centre: dinner first, then a club atmosphere in winter, with a DJ. Its Google rating of 4.4 from nearly 2,500 reviews shows that people also come for the food.
On the menu
A surf and turf menu that mixes French cooking, Japanese flavours and international influences, under chef Fredrik Darenius. A sushi bar also offers takeaway.
The cellar holds 450 wines, one of the largest in Chamonix.
Our advice
For a quiet dinner, book early in the evening: the atmosphere builds as the night goes on. Takeaway sushi is a lifesaver on a tired evening after skiing.
