What to order
- Savoyard comfort food (fondue/raclette-style dishes, depending on season)
- A gourmet burger if you want something less heavy than cheese
- A glass or bottle from the wine list (ask for a pairing suggestion)
- Finish with dessert and a coffee if you’re lingering by the fire
What to expect
Aux Dix Vins feels like a classic mountain restaurant: warm lighting, a cosy dining room and, in colder months, the fireplace adds to the après-ski atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where groups can happily split between cheese-heavy Savoyard dishes and burger-style comfort food, so it works well when everyone wants something different.
Service is friendly and the pace is usually relaxed rather than rushed. In peak winter weeks the early evening fills quickly, so booking avoids a long wait.

Getting there
Aux Dix Vins is on the main valley road side of Argentière. If you’re staying in the village, it’s usually an easy walk. If you’re driving, aim for one of the public car parks and walk the last few minutes.
Argentière is connected to the rest of the Chamonix Valley by bus and train. If you’re staying locally, many restaurants on Rue Charlet Straton and Route du Village are walkable.
Tips for a smooth visit
- Arrive early (or book an early sitting) if you’re eating straight after skiing.
- If you’re a mixed group, split the order: a Savoyard dish for the cheese lovers and burgers for everyone else.
- Mountain villages get busy fast in school holiday weeks—reserve rather than chancing it.
- If you’re heading back to your accommodation late, pre-book a taxi in high season.
