The ski and board-mad early evening trade starts at 5pm at bars such as the Chambre Neuf. The video bars of Le Choucas and Expedition are fashionable, and there is no shortage of lively watering-holes along the rue du Docteur Paccard. The bars empty at about 7.30pm, when snow-users return to their chalets or apartments for dinner. From about 10.30pm the partying starts up again at pubs such as the Jekyll and Hyde, while real late-nighters end up at the BPM. Bar du Moulin, La Cantina and the Bar d’Up in Chamonix are all popular. Le Pub and the Garage in Chamonix Sud are also well frequented; the latter is a large basement bar incorporating half a truck and various motorbikes and is packed until the early hours. Dick’s Tea-Bar has a branch here.

The best restaurants in the town include L'Eden for traditional French cuisine, the superb Restaurant Atmosphère next to the post office, and L'Impossible, just to name a few.
