Good place for vegan food in Chamonix - Edit
I visited again after a few years, and unfortunately now they serve chicken in the menu.
Read moreMoreover, I found the prices to be a bit too high compared to what the dishes are.
In any case, they still have plenty of vegan options (and desserts), so it's still a good place for vegans; however, in this case I can honestly say "it was better before".
----
Sesame is -by far- the best place for vegans in Chamonix.
The menu is (at the moment) 95% vegan.
But I've been told they may add more non-vegan dishes because vegan clients are not so numerous in Chamonix, so, if you are in town, please support them so that they don't need to do that.
About the food, it's delicious, although I must say that portions could be a bit more generous.
We had lunch and dinner and we really enjoyed everything we had, with the tapas being a highlight for us.
The staff is lovely and very attentive, so the overall dining experience was wonderful.

Great, but sad they now sell meat - Edit
We love Sesame and visit multiple times every time we’re in Chamonix. The food and service are wonderful. I was sad to see they are now serving chicken. Still lots of great vegan dishes - including all of the desserts being vegan (and delicious) but a few chicken options alongside the vegan mains.

Great vegan options! - Edit
This mostly plant based restaurant was a godsend for me before my husband and I embarked on an 11 day tour du Mont Blanc hike . This restaurant was one of the last places I had tofu before returning to Chamonix! I had a curry dish with tofu for dinner and I had a seitan wrap for lunch. Both were great !

Ok food - Edit
Menu looked amazing, but overall the quality of food and flavor was just mid / mediocre, so I was disappointed. It was also very slow, and we were only one of two tables there. Our server was nice and did a good job.

Great menu and yummy food - Edit
They have a menu with depth, everything is vegetarian and most things can be vegan too. The menu is clearly labeled and staff is knowledgeable.

Worst restaurant I ever had in France - Edit
Piètre repas. Prenons les choses dans l’ordre.
Read moreTout d’abord, le personnel de service était peu agréable.
Deuxièmement nous avons commandé un kombucha, et il s’est trouvé qu’il était additionné de sirop sans que nous soyons prévenus !
Troisièmement on nous a servi nos plats (après les entrées qui étaient uniquement passables!). Il s’avère que le wok de seitan nous a été servi avec du riz et sans nouille udon. Alléluia le plat a été repris, mais est revenu avec toujours la moitié des ingrédients (il manquait le brocolis et les noix de cajou, soit dit en passant pas l’ingrédient le moins cher, mais elles nous ont été apportées après…pas grillées!). Après ces péripéties nous goûtons nos plats, et nous nous rendons compte qu’il manque aussi pas mal d’ingrédients dans le burger. Les deux plats sont trop salés, insipides, nous avons dû nous forcer pour finir les assiettes tellement c’était mauvais, et nous sommes vraiment déçus. Le wok contient des morceaux de seitan énormes et spongieux, des enooooooormes morceaux de carottes crues et j’en passe. Les frites du burger sont molles.
Quatrièmement, pour couronner le tout et outre le fait qu’aucun geste commercial n’est effectué quand nous passons à la caisse, nous pouvons constater la saleté déplorable de la cuisine. On espère ne pas tomber malade avec tout ça! Et en plus nous observons la présence de queues de brocolis alors qu’on nous a dit que ce légume n’était pas disponible pour expliquer son absence du wok.
Précisons tout de même que d’après la serveuse le chef est nouveau et cela explique peut être la baisse de qualité notable des plats…

Flavorful high quality food - Edit
This is the best restaurant in Chamonix. Every dish we had was flavorful and high quality. We got the burger, tofu curry, seitan wok dishes, orange cake, and cacao - all were great! We came every day we were in Chamonix.

Great cozy spot with vegan options - Edit
Dined here with a group of omnis and found something for everyone. Chef/owner says menu is "entirely vegan" unless you add egg or chicken. We found the food to be a bit bland but considering we visited in off season and options were limited, glad we found this!

A tasteful and welcoming restaurant for vegetarians with vegan options - Edit
Great experience.
Read moreThe landlord was super friendly and welcoming.
The falafel dish and the menu of the day (spaghetti with mushrooms) were very tasteful, especially because of their well-balanced seasonings.
Fresh vegetable juices were exquisite! Thank you!
We shall renew our visit, should we go again in this region.
Pros: Warming welcome, Tasteful seasonings and exquisite vegetable juices, Vegan options, of course

Best Veg Spot in Chamonix! - Edit
Such a cute, homey spot for an intimate lunch or dinner. Almost everything is vegan (they even had a “faux” gras special!) A MUST if you’re veg and in Chamonix! We will probably go back again to try more of the menu.

Good quality food but pricey - Edit
The ingredients were fresh and home made/ good quality. I had the vegan burger with focaccia bread (they didn't have vegan cheese so it got substituted by avocado). Was nice but a bit soggy like the fries. Hot chocolate was amazing. Ended up being 28€ which is quite pricey for french standards for a burger fries and hot chocolate. A shame that they are no longer 100% vegan to be inclusive towards non vegans..

Soooo good! - Edit
The whole family loved this place and most of the menu was vegan! The staff were super friendly and spoke perfect English! We had the burgers (which were delicious) and also one Thai curry, also very good, and followed by cheesecake and orange cake! The whole experience was amazing and I would definitely recommend!

Great udon and seitan - Edit
We ordered the miso-based ramen and the udon teriyaki bowl and both were great! If you are looking for a lot of plant protein, you'll probably have to ask the server to add extra seitan since there wasn't a ton in our dishes.

Decent Vegan Food - Edit
I believe this was the only vegetarian place in Chamonix, and we understood that all but one dish (halloumi fries) on the menu was vegan, so we stopped by for a late lunch on a day trip to Chamonix. It was a very small menu, and for us personally it was a bit unexciting, but it served us well enough.
Read moreI had the falafel bowl, which was ok. There were three falafel, they were quite dry but well seasoned. It was a slightly scant portion of hummus, and under seasoned for me. The tabbouleh was fine, quite fresh and flavoursome. There were only two small triangles of pita, that was disappointing. For the advertised roasted veg, I only got three bits of butternut squash that were slightly underdone, they still had a little too much bite. There was some good seasoning on the salad dressing and spicy sauce.
My mum got the hummus and focaccia from the smaller plates section. She received pita, but we saw them baking focaccia later, which made me wonder if the restaurant is more geared towards evening service. The hummus served with oil and seeds, and it was very smooth. She enjoyed it.
And my partner got the burger. It was a meaty, juicy patty. There was a good chunk of cheese but it tasted just like Violife, nothing too exciting, and there was very little sun-dried tomato. Ths sauces were well seasoned, and it was all in a good robust bun. If you want fries, you need to order them separately (we did not get any, but we were asked).
We really wanted chocolate marquise for dessert, but they were sold out of all but one dessert: cheesecake. My mum tried that one. The base was nutty and that was the main flavour she detected. The cheesy part was a bit bland or overwhelmed by the base, and it was semi frozen. She liked it though.
Service was great, really welcoming and unrushed. There was lots of outdoor seating, but we sat indoors - the seating is upstairs and the toilet is downstairs. We paid at the counter downstairs.

Excellent vegan meal. Highly recommend! - Edit
A wonderful variety of fresh locally sourced food presented artistically. Owner very kind and thoughtful. We got many tapas and a main dish ——all were amazing. Dessert was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant if you are vegan. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because they offer one dish with cheese. Other than this the whole menu of vegan.

High quality complex flavours - Edit
Was very excited to try this place given the amount of vegan options, was pleasantly surprised that everything on the menu (bar halloumi fries) was vegan! There was lots to choose from, we had the seitan teryaki and houmous from the main menu - both delicious! We also went for three different specials, miso aubergine, potatoes with aoili and portobello mushrooms. All out of this world delicious. You can really tell the chef cares about the menu.

Okay - Edit
There are not alot of vegan options in Chamonix but was excited to see a veg restaurant. The waiter(owner?) Was very nice and the other employee. I got the burger and fries. The burger wasn't bad but definitely needed to be cooked longer. The fries had it's own mont blanc. I didn't eat the fries.
