For high-quality dining, head for Atmosphère, 123 place Balmat (tel 04.50.55.97.97), offering elaborate dishes in a cosy setting from €19, or La Calèche, 18 rue Paccard (tel 04.50.55.94.68) where you can try Savoyard specialities in folksy Alpine surroundings for €17–26. There's an abundance of cheaper restaurants around town, including a number of pizzerias, such as Valentino on place Balmat. Other reasonable options include La Poêle, 79 av de l'Aiguille-du-Midi, which specializes in omelettes (€4.60–12), and, a few doors along at 59, Le Boccalatte (plats at €11). Rue Joseph-Vallot has plenty of gourmet food shops with local cheeses and other Alpine delicacies, and there are several well-stocked supermarkets in town for making a picnic. If you're after a drink, it's worth taking a look at Le Choucas, rue Paccard, right in the centre of town, or the Wild Wallabies bar in rue de la Tour, with pool tables, swimming pool, and Australian beers (summer 11.30am–2am; winter 4pm–2am).
