Amazing!

So many vegan options and vegetarian dishes that can be made vegan on request. Awesome and accommodating staff and chef. Yummy bean burrito and veggie full English breakfast. Will be back again tomorrow I'm sure!

Pros: Delicious food, Relaxed Vibe, Menu in English and staff speak English

Cons: Very, very busy at night!

Super!

Super endroit où manger et prendre un verre, avec terrasse et options véganes. Burger « infinity » avec la viande végétale Beyond Meat, il suffit de demander sans fromage et c’est végane. Le burger est vraiment excellent!

Pros: Excellente nourriture , Options véganes délicieuses , Belle ambiance

Vegan not so satisfying

The staff was well informed about vegan options and helpful, but vegan just meant leaving away non vegan items from vegetarian dishes. So quesedilla without cheese, or the beyond burger without cheese, mayonaise and bread. This made a rather sad looking plate. A vegan burger bun would not be such a big additional effort, I'd guess.

Pros: Price, Athmosphere, Staff

Cons: Not that well adjusted vegan options

Tacos & Mezcal!

Great hang out spot with some super tasty Mexican inspired dishes for non-meat eaters (and the flexitarians). Really nice local scene in the evening often with music. Friendly staff were happy to adapt dishes to be vegan/veggie where possible. The tacos are killer!

Pros: Atmosphere, Beers, Value

Cons: Hard to get a table

Monkey

The “Mexican” food and drinks were very inauthentic with strange flavors. My food was generally covered in a thick tomato paste with hot sauce and the green/red sauces were full of a lot of vinegar. The cauliflower dish was OK, but slightly overcooked. The potatoes were covered in that tomato paste I mentioned above and tasted more like spaghetti sauce potatoes. I would not eat here again.

Nice Lunch Place

I was really excited to try Monkey because I saw the Crispy Cauliflower Burrito. I was somewhat disappointed because the crispy cauliflower was really cauliflower that had cornmeal stuffed in its nooks and crannies and it was still crunchy/raw. I suppose I was expecting a roasted or fried cauliflower. It was decent but not what I had expected. The biggest win was trying Big Mountain Brewing Company's IPAs here. Delicious!

Pros: Several vegan options, Nice outdoor seating

Cons: Crispy cauliflower that was not fried

Not so great Vegan burger

Head a lot of good things about this place. So went and tried their Vegan burger. The Vegan bun was terrible - almost like rubber, and the bean patty was dry and very bland. The cost was expensive and so I was expecting fries on the side. That was not the case. Disappointed. Don't think I'll go here again if I'm in Chamonix.

bit disappointed

i had the vegan burger which was okay but not amazing. it was quite dry and lacked some flavour. it was also extremely expensive as 1 takeout burrito and burger came to €27. the person that served me behind the bar was quite rude and i dont think ill be back again. however there did seem to be an overall good vibe and the place seemed laidback.

Pros: fair few options

Cons: expensive , nothing special , long wait for a takeout

Very tasty!

The description on Happy Cow does not match the venue at all. It's all Mexican food with several vegan options. I had the burger which was amazing. You could tell the patty was homemade with loads of beans and plenty of flavour. The chilli was also really good. The desert with vegan marshmallows was a real find!

Pros: Good vegan food in a non-vegan town., Well thought out options and not just a token dish, Very friendly staff

Okay but not amazing

They have a fair few vegan options. Salad was dressed in much sherry vinegar and far too strong.

Pros: Has an an outdoor area, Not too expensive, for Chamonix

Cons: Average food , Service a little slow

Good vegan options

We went with the kids early evening. Not busy. So refreshing to find vegan options in this part of the world. We had bean burgers and some starters. All very tasty. Nice location in a quite square with stunning views. The dog was looked after but later in the evening I don't think they're allowed inside. Friendly staff. Would come again.

Pros: Tasty vegan food in a not very vegan country , Nice location, Great views

Cons: Not cheap but hey it's Chamonix

Alright

I had the mashed black bean burger, which wasn't very flavorful but was still alright. We wanted smoked tofu, but they were out of tofu. I was also looking forward to the peanut butter brownie for dessert (which was their only vegan dessert) but they were out of that too. I would not recommend going to this restaurant since they could be out of many things that you want to eat.

Good choice

Nice welcome leading to a good choice of clearly-labeled vegetarian and vegan food. I had a fine jackfruit burger and a side dish of French fries.

Slightly disappointing

I visited recently to take advantage of the half price burgers on Mondays. We ordered the 2 vegan options but were told there were no vegan buns so they would be served without a bun.

This was pretty disappointing considering we were ordering early in the evening and there are plenty of shops in the vicinity selling buns (we went and bought some while the food was being cooked so we could make a burger.)

They were both tasty but I would say quite overpriced even for Chamonix so definitely best if vegan to go on the Monday and hope they have buns.

Pros: Friendly service, Tasty burgers

Cons: Lack of buns, Price

It was like walking into a restaurant in Vancouver Burgers, Tacos and Tequila is the slogan. Was nice after traveling to get to speak English with the staff. Lost of vegetarian and vegan options

Pros: Great staff, Great comfort food, Great prices

Fresh and tasty

Just off the main area, there's plenty of vegan options here to come back several times. We tried the Falafel wrap Falafel and artichoke salad, both were really good.

We ate here more than once while in Chamonix!

Delicious casual food with clearly labeled vegan options (and more than one!). They didn't have vegan buns on our visit but they made the Mowgli burger into a great vegan wrap instead! (They understood that not all bread is vegan and gave us good alternatives - amazing!!)

Pros: Staff knowledgeable about 'vegan' during our visit, delicious food, Nice outdoor seating

Cons: A bit steep for very casual food (~€12-13 per burg

lots of vegan options

I went to Monkey with my family and was surprised by how many vegan options they had. They were all clearly labelled and there even was a vegan dessert. I ordered the Moguli burger that you could get made vegan as specified on the menu. The burger was very nice and massive and I also had sweet potato fries which were crispy but so delicious. The meal wasn't cheap but for nice vegan food in a ski resort it was a good deal.

Pros: lots of vegetarian and vegan options, reasonably priced , vegan dessert available

Best falafel wrap ever

Vegan options were clearly marked - Best falafel wrap ever, a bit more expensive that I expected but huge portions. Got the sweet potato fries and bean salad as well and was more than enough for two people.  Great atmosphere and great vegan options

Pros: Great atmosphere , Accommodating hosts , Several veggie options

Cons: Little bit expensive

Monkey heaven

This is a great find and would highly recommend Monkey to any veggie looking for a decent vegetarian meal which is hard to come by on the tourist strip in Chamonoix. Great vibe and staff with incredible friendly. Appears to be British owned/managed. Just sad I found it on my last day here!

Pros: Lots of veggie and vegan options , Cool vibe
