What to order

  • Ask what’s seasonal—this is the kind of place where the menu changes
  • Choose a main built around quality meat or fish (depending on the menu)
  • Consider a starter + dessert if you’re making an evening of it
  • If you’re taking away, check which dishes travel best

What to expect

Les Chéserys is the more polished end of the Argentière dining spectrum. The room is intimate, service is paced, and it’s well suited to couples or small groups who want a quieter evening.

Because tables are limited, booking ahead is important. If you’re choosing takeaway, it’s worth asking which dishes travel best (and whether you need to pre-order).
