Le Matafan
Chamonix, France

Mickey Bourdillat’s cooking at Le Matafan reaches from the French Alps into the Aosta Valley and Mediterranean, using the season’s produce without treating mountain cuisine as a fixed set of cheese dishes. The contemporary dining room at Hôtel Mont-Blanc has a central fireplace, and meals move into the garden when weather permits. This is a particularly good setting for a leisurely lunch. The restaurant’s announced autumn break runs through 26 November 2026, with dinner service returning on 27 November.
