Grand Central: "Alpine Bagels" Top 5 Page for this destination Budget Tip by firechick

Budget, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc: 6 reviews and 3 photos

Grand Central has reopened at a new location as of last winter season, in a bigger space. The menu is extended and there is finally a large indoor seating area. Bagels are available (flown from New York) as always, as well as healthy juices, and now salads and other healthy meal options are available. Nothing fried. Good coffee and a wide selection of teas, and in the evening the bar is open. Run by two Swedish sisters Lotte and Lisa, and now staffed by an array of gorgeous Swedish women it is a great place to go for people watching as well! Outdoor patio is open for the summer. They are now in a great location near the main squares downtown, right next to the war memorial square where the Saturday market is held.

Favorite Dish: Bagels - many options to choose from from traditional lox and cream chees (well St Moret, but it tastes the same) to the 'Elvis' with banana and peanut butter. This is the only place I know of in this whole region to get a bagel (Geneva is next nearest place) so come here if you need a nosh. Also love the chai tea latte.

Address: 165 Avenue Michel Croz
Comparison: less expensive than average
Directions: From the train station, walk towards town center. Grand Central is on your right at the edge of the square with the war memorials, and facing the Credit Agricole bank and (yuk) McDonalds.
Price: less than US$10
