Unheard of ! Izakaya Alpin in Chamonix

Ephemeral restaurant at Vista

‍Imagine
a totally unique kind of sharing cuisine with a panorama plunging down on Mont Blanc.
This is Kōdo, an ephemeral restaurant born from the encounter between a Japanese chef and the Alps.

Inspired by the Izakaya", the Japanese bar-bistro where you nibble tapas while sipping a beer, Kōdo invents delicious little Japanese dishes influenced by the Alpine mountains. Far from the sushi cliché, Izakaya is about variety and simplicity for all.

Contemporary and warm atmosphere

Look up and admire the vast timber frame, then discover the decorative conical fireplaces, notice the woollen cushions, the streamlined furniture in vintage colors: the spirit of chalets revisited is not far away!

In terms of atmosphere, it's all about conviviality around small individual tables or large tables where friends and family love to get together.

Wherever you look from the restaurant, the Mont-Blanc range is everywhere, majestic and imposing. It's there, almost within reach, yet at the same time inaccessible. That's the magic of BUFFET ALPINA, the Alpina hotel restaurant open to all. Unrivalled in Chamonix.
