The Pointe Isabelle bistro bar pays tribute to a young Englishwoman, a pioneer of mountaineering in the Victorian era. This is Isabella STRATON, an intrepid woman who defied the conventions of her time and who helped to change the place of women in society. Isabella climbed Mont Blanc for the first time in 1875. It was only natural that her grandchildren paid tribute to this extraordinary woman when they opened this establishment.
Isabella STRATON, a wealthy English heiress, left her home country to live her own adventures. Orphaned as a young adult, she had to become independent. While her fortune helped her, it was her stubbornness that was most valuable to her in charting her own path. Arriving in the region when she was in her twenties, she undertook a series of expeditions in the Alps and the Pyrenees. Nicknamed “The Lady” in relation to her wealthy origins, she marked the history of female mountaineering by carrying out these expeditions. It is also thanks to the mountains that she found love, without the arms of a guide named Jean Charlet.
It is with joy that the team of the establishment will be able to tell you the story of this great lady.
Like the woman who inspired it, the Pointe Isabelle is a restaurant that tells a story. Its decor is colorful and yet, very simple. Large benches welcome you for a lunch or dinner where tradition and modernity blend in perfect harmony.
The Pointe Isabelle restaurant bar in Chamonix, offers grilled meats and cold cuts as well as vegetarian and vegan recipes. Like Isabelle did in her time, the restaurant keeps up to date, promoting recipes that are sometimes traditional, sometimes original and totally new.
Lamb shank with thyme, pulled pork burger or even chocolate fondant and profiteroles will delight the taste buds!
Far from the carrot-salad often gave as a vegetarian option, Pointe Isabelle emphasizes the originality of flavors and creates plant-based recipes that have pep! Vegetarians and vegans can enjoy carefully simmered dishes.
For example, they can taste the superb vegan salad: Red onions and candied cucumber, goji berries, grapefruit, parsnip and sweet potato chips, roasted pumpkin seeds, honey vinaigrette.
Or treat yourself to a vegan Pad Thai. And the restaurant also thought of them for dessert: the carrot cake is a success.
