"we went on a day in august to this restaurant/cafe, where the weather should be cloudy with a rain likelihood. by les praz de chamonix we started at 11.30 clock with two children (ages 5 and 7). because of the weather forecast we had raincoats and jumpers with us plus water to drink and sunscreen and snacks. Now, it turned out to be a glowing, hot sunny day and so our steeper rise was almost unbearable hot. it was much steeper than we had imagined. the way was covered with stones and rocks, so it was easy to find stumble. there was only a flat part of the way and that didn't take very long. I think it has brought us over 45 minutes to get to the caffe, as we had to stop with the young who had very tired legs. if it had been cooler, it would have been better manageable for them. there were bites that were shaded, but a lot of walk seemed to be in the bright sun. a family on the way down, as we climb, had clearly a picnic and decided to “discover, out of the mind!” all their mums on the mountain side, were severely persecuted by an older French couple who had risen and testified. the family was apologetic, but seemed annoying that they were seen as the fact that they insulted the landscape with their mum. we came to the caffe before 12.30 p.m., but it was already busy so that we had luck getting a table for four. some people stood up, waited for a table for age groups, but there was nowhere else to eat. we had no shadow on our table, but there were other tables with sunshades. the lookout about the mountain was amazing. there are a few tables in the interior, but it is usually sitting in the open. there are no menus on the tables there is a laminated sheet on a board as they come and this is repeated at the door to the building. there are also various chalkboards that point out around the “specialities”. it took a lot of time until the waitress came and took our order, probably because they were so busy. we had to get them to the end. we chose 2 x sweet crepes, an omelette and cheese and ham pasta. the waitress spoke English fortunately. the food took a while to come, but we have enjoyed the view in the meantime. the food was nice and we ate everything. toilets were right from the building as they only see a toilet on a treppenflug. they must not put anything in the toilet, even toilet paper. there is no sink, but there is an outdoor spring at the bottom of the stairs where they can wash their hands. it took a while until the bill came as soon as we had asked, and then we were not sure how to pay. at the end I queued at the lower end of the stairs into the kitchen and handed it to someone who worked there. but it was a bit difficult to find out what to do."

The chalet was very cute and the views were amazingly beautiful. Hike to the chalet was easy and nice to go to for a hot summer day. Food and service is very nice.

We really didn't know tis place existed until we rounded a corner and there is was. What a great place for a stopover. Amazing views, lovely people, and great food. A real treat.
Amélie
this scenic caffe offers both spectacular views and delicious simple dining. the crepes we had were absolutely beautiful. it is a bit of a walk to get there.. but it is worth it. handy tipp: it is only cash
Radames
A little pricey compared to the size of the plates, but had a nice sallad there. Friendly staff, and a great place to enjoy the view of the valley and the mountains, following the trail between Flégere and Chamonix
Costantino
This chalet is at the intersection of many hiking trails. We probably took the easiest trail, which is from Chamonix up Chemin de la Floriaz. The trail is family friendly. We went on a clear day. We had omelet for brunch, with clear view of...ice capped ranges. Wonderful experience
Santo
This little place is tucked away up the mountain. Well it's only a 40 minute walk uphill. The owners keep the place just FILLED with flowers and so the outside is stunning and it has great views over the valley towards the Mer de Glace...glacier and Drus. The food is typical mountain restaurant food and the owners and staff are very nice. It's definitely a place to go to at least once during your visit in the summer time.

la floriaz is a short walk right at the chalet that we rented, it said 45 minutes (see us 1 hour upwards and 45 downwards) the walk is steep but steady on a wide stretch. the double reward at the top is a great point of view for. mont blanc and a great little chalet with rich traditional dressing, salat, quiche and more. open a march ish to oktober ish check the opening times. what a great place to get a snack, beer and the beautiful landscape
