Restaurant d’altitude de charme

There’s live music from Doug tonight at the Rusticana in Argentiere.

There’s also a BBQ, cheffed by Ian, which includes a choice of steak, chicken or salmon with 3 sides salad for around €14.

For those who need to know who Doug is….. we found out. He’s Doug the guitar/singer geezer who lives with the lovely hairdresser lady with the dog.

There are even rumours of people coming all the way from Chamonix to see Paul play and eat BBQ. Well… what else you gonna do tonight?

At Elevation you are welcome at every hour of the day. From 7:30 am on we serve an amazing English breakfast or an Energy breakfast, for lunch and dinner you can have burgers, salads, fries, panini’s, etc. the kitchen is open till 11pm.

Besides from being a great place to eat, Elevation is also a great place to drink. Try our ‘hot chocolate 1904′ or vin chaud, or indulge in their great and extensive wine selection.

Le restaurant, qui est à l’entrée du village d’Argentière, juste après le tunnel paravalanche sur la route jusqu’à Argentière et Les Grands Montets domaine skiable de Chamonix, propose un accueil chaleureux.

Le décor est moderne et contemporain, avec quelques touches confortables de tradition alpine, de sorte que vous savez que vous êtes toujours dans les montagnes.

La Remise a été lancé par Francine et Sébastien et l’accent est définitivement sur le style moderne de la cuisine française. Ouvert le midi et le soir, le restaurant Remise est sûr de devenir un favori de Chamonix.

Aux beaux jours, vous serez en mesure de s’asseoir et de manger sur la grande terrasse ensoleillée, qui regarde en arrière vers la vallée de Chamonix et de Tines.

LES_MENUS

The new owners of the La Remise restaurant in Argentiere, Francine and Sebastien Vandenkoornhuyse, have carried out extensive renovations to make it a cosy, welcoming place.

The chef, Francine and her team propose creative cuisine with seasonal produce. In the dining room, Sebastien has chosen an authentic setting in keeping with the restaurant’s character. Stone, wood and the fireplace counterbalance the modern tones of grey and beige.

Small intimate tables and a very substantial wine list for an enchanting gastronomic journey.

Starting with the big party on Thursday the 14th of July, we’ve got several djs (Iye 95, the SoundOfNow aka Corin and Joe) and live bands playing throughout the evening, with free drinks and tasters from 6 – 9pm. Any musicians out there who would like to join in, we’re running an open mic, big band jam between 6 -9pm, all participants will be well watered for their endeavors!

Then in the evening of Friday 15th July, we’re opening the restaurant and our fabulous head chef Emma Lawrenson will be cooking up our first farmhouse meal from 7-10pm. It’s also Sarah Hingston’s birthday and leaving do celebrations so in her honour we’ll be giving a free glass of bubbles to all who eat!

Saturday 16th July’s our bikers n hikers day, kicking off with a full english (10€) with free bloody mary shot or continental breakfast, 10€ BBQ lunch, happy hour 5 -7pm, then in the evening we’ve invited our first guest chef to cook for you, Zoe Smalley, and she’ll be cooking an Italian menu from 7 – 10pm.

Sunday 17th July, which handily happens to be Jon’s birthday, is a true recovery and family day. There’ll be an extended breakfast (till 12) with pancakes on offer as well as classic continental, there’ll be games and drawing for the kids, ploughmans and open sandwiches available all day and then from 2 – 8pm we’ll be doing a traditional Sunday roast. Ski Sundae will be playing their first gig on their very own stage that night from 5pm till, well, they run out of songs and we’ll be introducing and giving away our invented house shot, the ski sundae, complete with it’s own chocolate coated edible shot glass… (don’t worry parents, there’s a non alcoholic ice cream version for the kids!)

It just leaves me to say, you are all invited, as are your friends, and friends of friends. I’ve attached our poster/invite so please feel free to forward it and this email to anyone you think might be interested. We want to share this with all of you and hope you’ll find the time to pop in, take a look around and say hi.

If you do happen to be in argentiere needing breakfast of a weekend, it’s the Rusticana you need to have a chat with.

At the weekend they’re doing breakfasts. Bacon, eggs, smoked salmon, pancakes. Coffee too. It’s delicious, and starts at EUR 5

WED 8TH DEC

FROM 6PM TILL 1AM

LIVE MUSIC

FREE TASTER CANOPES AND DRINKS FROM 6 TILL 8PM

Well we made it out through the opening weekend relatively unscathed, but a tad weary. Luckily it‚Äôs a restful week for us here at Le D?©lice as we‚Äôre only open evenings (5pm-1am) till Saturday, when we open up all day for coffees, lunches, drinks and dinners. Now we‚Äôre feeling more settled we‚Äôre ready to celebrate our opening in style. This Wednesday, the 8th December, we‚Äôre throwing a little shindig. There‚Äôll be live music from Jon and we‚Äôll be offering free drinks and canap?©s between 6 and 8pm to welcome in the new season.

Everyone is welcome, from the (for now!) fresh faced seasonaires to the seasoned regulars and busy business owners buried in their woodwork. We‚Äôd especially like to invite chalet staff and owners, drivers, ski instructors, guides and people with their own local businesses so that you can meet each other and our staff. It‚Äôs a great opportunity to see what‚Äôs on offer in the valley and the girls always welcome the opportunity to glean information that they can pass onto our clients. We suggest bringing business cards, flyers and posters for the services you will be providing this winter so we can put them on show in the bar. We, in turn, will have copies of our new menus, and posters and flyers about Le D?©lice available, that we hope you will take to distribute to your clients. I‚Äôve attached our new evening menu and our general poster to this email in case any of you would like a copy but can‚Äôt make it on Wednesday. If you would like any other information about Le D?©lice please do not hesitate to contact me and I‚Äôll endeavour to give you what you need.

Wednesday is the brand new Pop Quiz, served up with a weekly classic menu (think bangers and mash or shepherds pie) and Thursday is the hugely popular 25e Snow BBQ. From 4pm on a Sunday you can sample the infamous Clubhouse roast (inc dessert and coffee for only 25e). The cosy dining room shares space with the superb lounge bar serving the best cocktails and the finest selection of whisky you’ll find in the Alps. If you’re not a member, you can usually get in for a one-off visit to decide whether you’d like to join.

We open tomorrow, Thursday 10th June, at 5pm. The new evening menu will be available from 6 – 10pm. Rich and Doug will be playing music from apero time till 10pm, so fingers crossed our terrace will be sun-drenched not simply drenched!

This season sees the return of our harem of ladies. Jackie and the Claires will be front of house again and Lou will be manning the fort in the culinary hub. There’s two new arrivals on our kitchen team, and one of them may even be male (da da da dah). Although we’ll see how he copes with us overexcitable ladies, maybe I should issue him with uniform ear defenders?!

Our new summer menu is a veritable medley of flavours. There’s twists on French classics, Asian inspired salads, Italian style tapas and some hearty vegetarian dishes. It will be posted on our website, www.le-delice.eu, tomorrow once we’ve had a chance to taste and tweak the dishes later today (poor old us!)

Here’s a summary of what goes on over the summer here at Le D?©lice and don’t forget that our terrace catches the sun all day till it sets (well after Chamonix is plunged into cool shade) so not only are we a perfect spot for lunch but also for sunny aperos and dinner. If you are inclined to linger late then the amazing sunsets are not to be missed too.

PS: Check out our new Living Websites website flyer.

Not that we wouldn’t have got round to it, eventually! To celebrate the arrival of spring and the plethora of sunburnt noses round town we thought we’d dust off the terrace furniture and host a little ray bathed apres at the bar tomorrow, Wednesday 24th march. For your aural pleasure we’ve got Jonny Tarr and Rich playing some soul and motown covers from 4 till 6 and the thirsty amongst you can take full advantage of our daily happy hour on cocktails, beer and wine.

Thursday 25th sees the return of guitarist Jon Dobson accompanying our regular sushi night, so if you?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢ve not managed to make one yet get recruiting fellow diners as there may be only a few left before the end of the season.

And how’s this for a coop, some customers yesterday pointed out after their (delicious!) dinner last night that they’d discovered us after a mention in the Telegraph’s pick of the top 5 restaurants in the Chamonix valley…

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/snowandski/3194632/Chamonix-ski-guide-bars-and-restaurants.html

What a lovely discovery! Nothing like a non bribe induced, unexpected plug to make me feel like a very proud restaurant owner. Huge thanks to my amazing team for running such a fantastically consistent ship this winter, you gals rock!
