Owners Djamila and Michaël have taken over the reins of Le Refuge restaurant in Cordon. They are 2 enthusiasts, who worked together in the catering trade some twenty years ago, and a solid friendship began. They have each acquired their own know-how on the surrounding trails. Both the welcome and the service are simple and straightforward. The cuisine, prepared in-house, offers a winter and summer menu, as well as a spring and autumn menu and a weekly suggestion menu. From either the panoramic terrace or the finely-decorated indoor dining room, you'll be facing the magnificent Mt Blanc chain in its entirety (a natural setting found in the last scene of the film Tatie Danielle). Inside, the blond wood on the walls sits alongside a vaulted ceiling of Tuff stone and a corner fireplace. You'll feel soothed and sheltered, just like in a mountain refuge. Just 10 minutes from the center of Cordon, in the direction of the ski slopes, access is by any vehicle on a tarmac road, right up to the front door outside the snow-covered winter season. In this case, you can either drive a fully-equipped vehicle to within 30 m of the establishment, or put on your skis, snowshoes or good hiking boots. -Refuge speciality: fishermen's fondue with fresh fish (book 48 hours in advance). - Mountain specialities - Cuisine based on local produce - Barbecue on the terrace for lunch and dinner in summer
