What is the "Restaurant Tartiflette Price Premium" scam in Chamonix?

Question

Accepted Answer

Chamonix's tourist-facing restaurants on Rue du Docteur Paccard and around Place du Triangle de l'Amitié charge significant premiums for local Savoyard dishes (tartiflette, raclette, fondue) that are available at comparable quality for considerably less in restaurants on side streets or in the Chamonix Sud neighborhood. Walk two blocks from the main pedestrian zone to find equivalent restaurants with lower prices. The Chamonix Sud area and Les Praz village have locally-patronized restaurants with better value than the town center tourist strip.
