Le Matafan - Chamonix-Mont-Blanc

I'm happy to report that this special property got it's sparkle back. We have been coming to this property for 20 years, we used to stay here. When it was under Chinese ownership it sank in quality and experience. I'm happy to report under new French ownership, it's come back to it's former self. We were able to eat outside at the just opened terrace near the pool. We had a beautiful meal with excellent service. The only downside was (I hate to say) another American who could not control his demanding children who acted like it was a park instead of a restaurant, running yelling and ignoring their father. My husband had to hold me back from saying something. If you have annoying children take them to McDonalds, people are paying real money to enjoy a nice experience here!

Much improved in the last year. Gone are the loud bus loads of Chinese tourists. We ate outside near the pool, this new space is lovely. The food and service very good.

C’est toujours un plaisir de dîner au Matafan! Les yeux fermés pour commander et on va de surprise en surprise ! Gustativement c’est top ! Joliment présenté, la qualité est là et avec un service irréprochable ! C’est vraiment appréciable . Je précise qu’il est impensable de passer à côté des desserts, absolument délicieux et originaux. Bravo à l’équipe de l’hôtel restaurant, à mon sens une des meilleures adresses de Chamonix

Here reigns like a sweet scent of yesteryear, a taste of sweet France, the place is delightful and invites languor and enjoyment. From the moment you are welcomed you know that you are going to be pampered and taken to the beaches of delicacy, the meal was as promised, refined and succulent served by staff attentive to your every desire, And to top it all off, you have lunch in the shadow of the majestic Mont-Blanc. So, if you go to Chamonix, know that the opportunity to discover a corner of paradise exists, it’s up to you. Michael

We took coffee and desserts in the hotel garden. The pavlova with garigettes strawberries and its sorbet with a rocket, a killing!!! Accompanied with this pretty frame and the attention of the servers, it was perfect.
