Chez Daniel — Restaurant in Bonneville

We ate here one of our evenings during our winter vacation. It is a classic French restaurant. From the road where everyone walks, the restaurant is not very visible.

We made reservations because it is often completely full. It is a relatively small restaurant and they have a system. There are two shifts per day where you can eat, one at 19:00 and one at 21:00. You then also have to make room for the next people within two hours.

The food in the restaurant is good. I had chosen the vegetarian raclette and someone else the duck. The food was delicious and the raclette is freshly refilled on your plate when you finish it. Dessert was fondant aux chocolat. This was also very tasty. It was all on the expensive side.

The service was okay in the restaurant. Very fast which I liked but of course also had to do with the next group that came after us. The staff is friendly and attentive.

The design of the place was a bit simple and not very special. It was a bit like the classic wooden huts on the slopes. There are a lot of pictures of Flaine hanging on the wall though, which show some of the history.

The music inside is a somewhat odd choice. This was all mixed up which I found unfortunate.

All in all an ok joint with good food but a bit expensive for...

We have been coming to this restaurant over many years - about 30. You have to book - they are a bit snobby about this. Like - they’re so popular hey do you think you can just turn up. The food is amazing but we often leave feeling a bit paranoid that they don’t like seeing us… it’s bizarre. Amazing food but rubbish service. Do they actually hate the British Tonight was the worse ever - they provided a quality main course but didn’t ask us for our dessert choice - then hurried in their second sitting. I suppose the disappointing bit is that it’s great food but with possibly the absolute worse service I’ve ever experienced . There’s a much nicer attitude . Restaurants service wise within two minutes walk. So your choice is feeling disliked...

Charming restaurant with lovely and highly attentive service and very delicious food. We had a traditional Raclette which was easily the best I have ever had, not just by the quality and preparation of the cheese, but also the tasty chestnutty potatoes and the various sliced hams on the side. Warmly recommended,

(Your cloths will smell of cheese afterwards, so...
