Chalet de La Floria — Restaurant in Bonneville

Hiked here for the views of Chamonix and Mont Blanc in the background. It is a perfect spot for pictures of the ville, Mont Blanc, and with a good lens, Aguille du Midi. We knew the Chalet de la Floria wasn't open today, BUT we're giving 5 stars because everyone we talked to in Chamonix raved about the food, location, and service.

You exercised 0 control over your two dogs that would growl and bark menacingly at those coming along the path.

Don't take your dogs to work, or keep them inside or on a very short leash outside. Have some...

The trail path is very steep mainly going up for an hr; more of an intermediate short hike. Cafe has a nice mountain view but nothing much can be seen further down due to the trees.

Had an awkward encounter with the owner when i only had €8 change to my €9 bill, and no change at the place for my bigger note, then she proceeded to tell me off that it is to be expected that a cafe in the mountain does not have that kind of change.
