Le Chariande - Samoëns

The main area on the balcony was formerly fantastic, I think this place has changed the peculiarity) now very rude and not interested in what could be considered as one day stop for lunch and drinks for a group of 6...plus the lower half with sitting on the snow could no longer be different to be very friendly and decent ground snacks only a pity of the balcony is now very ancient tourist

Restaurant that only reservations with separate fast food service counters. burger and nuggets for 6 with softdrinks for 16 €. and a sign that proudly announces “glacé italienne”. a true artificial gloop cast from a machine. taste completely artificial. avoid like the plague.

Here for a very nice plate du jour for under 13 euro with good size portion pork plus kartoffeln alpen style. tischservice. very beautiful loos. in and out. I wanted to book.

Been coming to Samoens for years and used to really enjoy going to this restaurant. Was different in the way it was self service but the owners really made it a nice spot with a good choice of fresh dishes and daily specials. Not so...now- Changed hands and now is run by unfriendly team who do not seem happy to be there. Food has gone downhill and is split between upstairs and down stairs- That is correct if you do not want the poor specials and cold kids food you have to go out and downstairs and do the queue all over again. Only went once and even that left a bad taste

Just above Samoens 1600. I gave it top marks because in contrast to some others nearby the staff here all welcome you with a smile, keep the tables cleared and clean, offer jugs of tap water and in addition prices are very reasonable eg. 5...Euros for soup and bread.
