The verdict
The Tête-à-Thé is Argentière's quiet address: a bright tea room, far from the bustle of the après-ski bars. Its Google rating of 4.8 from nearly 200 reviews is the highest of our "Drink" listings.
On site
Vegetarian food at lunchtime and pastries in the afternoon, with teas and coffees. The wood and stone room has kept the spirit of the village houses.
Our advice
It is the ideal break after a morning at Les Grands Montets or a walk to the Crèmerie du Glacier. Go in the afternoon, at teatime, when the pastries come out.
