New eating place in the Espace Diamant for 2019 is the Bonnet Blanc. Taking the place of the tired old, 70s style self-service restaurant Des Crètes, the new eatery is altogether more stylish.
Revamped as a modern table service restaurant, the terrace is now somewhere you’ll want to spend your lunch time soaking in the amazing Mountain views and eating from what we found to be a high quality menu. Great service too – with everyone wearing a white bobble hat – of course. Not quite Megeve prices but it is rather more expensive than its predecessor and many of the eateries of the area.
It’s located on top of Mont Rond, above Notre Dame de Belecombe and can be reached with just the Val D’Arly Ski pass. To get there, take the Plan des Fours chair lift to highest point above Praz and take one of our favourite long runs down to the double drag lifts: Plan Dessert (one on the right is fastest). At the top, head right to the short pulley-lift and Le Bonnet Blanc will be right ahead of you.
Booking is recommended (tel: 04 79 31 83 59), especially if you want to be on the terrace in good weather during the French school hols.
