ARCUS Coffee, Chamonix — Restaurant in Bonneville

This place had the potential to be amazing but unfortunately fell short.

The menu is nice, although quite pricey considering you have to add potatoes or a sausage for 5 euros each.

We got the savoury pancakes and the Benedict. The pancakes were burnt black, but thankfully they did replace them when we mentioned it. The Benedict had great potential, but unfortunately the eggs were cold and essentially hard boiled and overcooked. There was also essentially no hollondaise sauce (which is the reason why you order Benedict…) the sauce there was was frothy and white and essentially evaporated after a minute of being served.

The service was good and there were many good elements of the restaurant. Potentially just an off day, the rating of 3 stars reflects our...

Terrible customer service and equally terrible overall experience. We waited 45 minutes for our breakfast, and no one warned us in advance that it would take so long. Then things got even stranger. I was served something completely different from what I ordered. I asked for an avocado toast and specifically mentioned it should be without feta cheese. Instead, I was given a salmon toast with cheese. I requested a replacement, and what I received was even more disappointing—they simply removed the salmon from the incorrect dish and transferred it to the “new” one. You could still see traces of cream cheese on the fish, meaning they didn’t even remake the dish. I wouldn’t recommend this...

Have to sing the praises of this place. We arrived in Chamonix around 9:30a after not sleeping on a red-eye. Our Airbnb was totally unaccommodating for even letting us leave our luggage at the place before 3p. The staff at this cafe were SO understanding and helpful. They allowed us to keep our luggage outside the whole day and sit for an extra long time having breakfast inside. We freed up the table after a while, feeling guilty, but they would’ve let us stay longer. The food was so healthy and nourishing and we enjoyed many delicious coffees to help us manage the jet lag. A super lovely welcome into Chamonix. Highly recommend...
