This place is definitely worth a visit for a dessert! they are very beautiful and delicious The staff is attentive, fast and friendly. Nothing bad to say. The mains we ate were alright, portions are big, but not something we would enjoy eating often.

Souris d'agneau – the lamb shank (back leg part of the lamb). It’s the first dish I’ve ever eaten that made me say “so good!” at least ten times. At first, I was worried about the smell, but this place cooked it perfectly — no lamb odor at all. The most impressive dish out of all my trips to Europe. The chestnuts and sweet potatoes served with it were also delicious and naturally sweet. A MUST-TRY! The steak was also good, but the lamb totally stole the show. The dessert — I think it was a blueberry pastry — was slightly sour and not too sweet. One portion is enough for two people since the other two dishes are really, really big. Highly recommended

Fantastic restaurant in Chamonix for classic french cuisine. We had the onion soup and tartiflette in a set menu. We also had the lamb rack and creme brulee as well. All dishes were well seasoned and easy to eat. The lamb rack still had some gamey flavour but was still nice to eat. The only issue may have been the slow service, but given there was a running event going on today, it is understandable. While the view is nothing phenomenal l, you still can get a good view of Mont Blanc and the crowds while eating outside.

We have spent two different anniversary dinners with the staff at Josephines. The atmosphere is lovely, romantic, and comfortable. The food experience both time will be remembered for a while! The fondue her was my favorite of the area! The staff was great and had a great balance of attentiveness and providing space. I do wish we could have purchased one of their water carafe to bring the memories home. I highly recommend this special restaurant with a lovely location!

This is a very touristy restaurant- like the Cafe de Flore of Chamonix. However, unlike the Parisian Cafe, this is actually a visit worthy place. The food is excellent- we had a pasta salad, salmon steak and tartiflette, which were all very delicious. Prices are a bit steep, though. The atmosphere is very nice although touristy and a bit noisy. It’s right in Chamonix’s centre and some tables have Mont Blanc views. The part I didn’t enjoy was the service. The waiter was a bit rude, and took my pasta salad before I finished, supposedly in order for the salmon to arrive. The salmon, however, didn’t arrive until half an hour later. I am not exaggerating - more than 30 minutes. It was not a pleasant experience. Overall, we enjoyed the food. Too bad for that incident.

Very beautiful place. Was there to try the famous mushroom sweet but unfortunately it was out of stock, you'd have to go there early before 3 pm if you want to have it. Very friendly staff and it the outdoor seating was very well prepared for the rain with blankets. Worth the visit.
