Very good art museum/gallery with almost every significant French artist represented. Mildly disappointed that one of the Monet’s was removed for restoration work as he is my favourite French artist, but other great works by Matisse, Chagall etc. as well as a large section dedicated to a contemporary art exhibit. Overall a great way to spend a rainy day in Grenoble.

Grenoble is renown as the Capital of the Alps, so most of the people travel to the city for the surrounding mountains. Almost nobody comes to Grenoble for its museum, not even to visit it between two hikes. And that's a pity because Musee du Grenoble really deserves to be explored. Not only for the stunning views over the Alpine slopes and Isere river but also for the permanent exhibition, which include works of Matisse, Derain, Gauguin and Modigliani among others. . The entrance was free of charge during our visit (July 2025).

The permanent collection was free and there were great paintings. On a weekday late afternoon, there were only a few people which was an ideal environment for relaxing. They provide cozy black individual sofas which I appreciated greatly.

Although it cannot be compared to the Louvre or the Musee d'Orsay, the sheer depth of the collection in a local art museum is undeniable. It is definitely worth a visit. There is one thing I noticed this time. I realized that masterpieces have a unique composition that keeps you entertained. The paintings housed here are second to none in terms of technique. However, I felt that the compositions lacked ingenuity. I apologize for sounding like an amateur, but this is still a museum that everyone should visit at least once. You can take your time to appreciate the art.

Modern art has it's audience, I'm not one of them

Beautiful museum!! It's a pity that I didn't participate in the Miró exhibition. The museum has a rich collection and is free to visit. I came here for two consecutive days and gained a lot.

Very nice art museum absolutely worth a visit. Good range collection from old to modern. The pieces are manly French, Italian and from the Low Lands. The entrance was free, but still you receive a ticket!

It’s more of a view point than anything else. But it’s a highly recommended place with an Awesome city and mountain view. Also there is an adventure activity centre for kids, where kids can enjoy as well. There are couple of other museums which we didn’t visit.

Definitely worth visiting if in Grenoble. Not expensive at all. If you book a table at the cafe before hand, the ride up is slightly cheaper. Cafe has good food nd drink and the views are spectacular. The museum are good too. Not lots to see but interesting. Free/cheap. We spent half a day there. One star off as not a well maintained tourist spot.

The "funicular " gondola ride is fun, but cramped if you're 6'+. Great views of the city from the bastille. Awesome place for hikers & runners. There are a lot of runners doing hill training here. Two great restaurants at the top.

Great views. Don't bother ordering anything from the restaurant. It's dirty, the staff don't give a hoot. The coffee is cold.

In this case, the journey is more interesting than the destination First: how do you get there? If you’re not in good physical shape or have health issues (cardio-respiratory or mobility problems), it’s best to take the cable car. The downside is that you’ll miss the most beautiful part of the experience, the climb itself. If you’re able, I strongly recommend going on foot. From Grenoble, there are four main access routes: 1st through the Jardin des Dauphins and Guy Pape parks The 2nd one starting from the Saint-Laurent gate The 3rd one from the old Rabot fort The 4th via the road behind the fortress (for those arriving by car) In addition to these four routes, there are several mountain trails, for example, the path to the Mandrin Cave, but these require more time and proper hiking equipment. Walking up is worth it, because the fort isn’t only on the top of the mountain, it stretches along the mountainside. If you take the gondola lift, you’ll see very little of the fortifications. Depending on the route, you’ll pass by other points of interest: the terraces of the Jardin des Dauphins, the Rabot Fort and old officers’ barracks, the Giants’ Staircase, and the Saint-Laurent gate. My advice: go up one way and come down another. At the base of the mountain, you’ll also find some interesting (and free) museums: the Dauphinois Museum, the Archaeological Museum, the Grenoble Museum... The top of the fort (the main attraction) is a bit underwhelming. Apart from the mountain views, there isn’t much to see. A few negatives: The fort itself cannot be visited. Most buildings are occupied by private businesses (a climbing club, for example), with restricted public access. Food and drinks are rather expensive. The unisex toilets are not the best choice (and not very clean either). Some of the bastions and covered stairways on the mountainside are dirty (though that’s partly due to careless visitors). avoid the old geography institute, it's just a rundown building with graffiti, falling into disrepair. And lastly: Grenoble itself isn’t the most spectacular city. The mountain backdrop is beautiful, but the city view is less so. In conclusion: I’m giving it 4 stars, but mostly for the journey rather than the fort itself. Those who go only by cable car would probably rate it three stars (or even less).

Great place to visit. You can visit it via small route by foot or you can take cable car. But I suggest small route

Brilliant experience with James and the team at Acrobastille. My daughter did the kids version, my wife the zip(with some parcour to get around) and my son and I the adult full version. Took about 2hrs for us but magnificent in entirety. Views were spectacular.

In the centre of the city, this place is next to teleferic, it's beautiful garden for public, if can spend evening here with your family, friends etc.... Good place to visit and rest for few moments

Great place to hangout with friends. You can have a drink or food in one of the lovely bars. Also great for people with children because they have a nice playground for them to play in.

Beautiful tranquil park with huge trees, lots of places to sit and enjoy nature

Very nice park in the area where you can find seating places. It has a few trees compared to other parks in the city.

Well maintained park and less hectic compared to other park.

Lovely place, in the center of the city and next to the river.

Well maintained garden that looks like a nice place to relax and to spend time during the day, especially if the weather is good.

Nice parce to walk, ride or just spend free time.

The biggest park in the city, it has many places to rest in and enjoy the sun. This place is free and recommended to anyone visiting Lyon.

The playground new and interesting, the kids had a lot of fun. The parc was quite dirty and not very well maintained unfortunately.

Great park to relax in Grenoble.

Beautiful and big park at the center of Grenoble. A place for every age to hang out and for communities to organise events. Many public facilities are offered for sports.

Wow, very big park,it seems earlier 20 years before during 90 , the park is filled with ice and people used to do ice skating. Due to global warming, there is no ice now.

Great park, lots of open space and a lovely new adventure play area for children.

Well worth a visit. The description does not really clearly describe it. It is very peaceful and relaxing, with seats in the lovely gardens where you could just take a book and stay. The exhibition on the history of the mountain communities around Grenoble is very good.

An unusual experience... and not necessarily in a good way. This museum is so unusual that I honestly don’t even know what category to put it in: ethnographic museum, local museum, art museum, history museum… maybe all of the above, or none at all. Let’s start with the good points: 1. The location is superb (the museum is situated in one of Grenoble’s historic districts, at the foot of the mountain crowned by the famous Bastille fort) 2. The building, an old monastery from the 17th century, is beautiful (and, I have to say, very well-preserved) 3. The gardens are undoubtedly the highlight — if you bring something to read, you can easily spend a few quiet hours there, especially in summer, when the heat suffocates the citY 4. The collections are, for the most part, beautiful and interesting 5. The baroque church hall is spectacular (especially if you’re into religious art) 6. The interior design of the exhibition rooms is pleasant 7. Information is presented in many different ways — classic leaflets, audio-video materials, models, and even a 3D virtual tour of the baroque hall 8. Admission is free Now, the not-so-good points: 1. The museum feels like a “collection of collections,” some of which have absolutely nothing to do with life in the Alps — for example, an exhibition of African art, which, while lovely, seemed rather misplaced (it would have fit much better in an art museum) 2. As a result of this mix-and-match approach, the layout is somewhat chaotic, and if you’re not paying attention, you might easily miss a few rooms 3. And then there’s the biggest drawback: the temporary exhibitions. When I visited, they were hosting a “contemporary art” exhibition — as you can see in the photos, piles of used clothes scattered on the floor and others hanging from strings all over the monastery. I have no idea what the artist was trying to say, but if the message was “I didn’t feel like tidying up,” it came across loud and clear. In the end, I’ll still give it 4 stars — but mostly for the gardens, and not for the museum itself...

Nice museum, good collection of historical art and the entrance is free. The chapel was closed. The view of the city, halfway the ascend, is pretty. There's a good climb and stairs to go up there.

Interesting museum housed in a former monastery, located on a steep hill above Isere river. Walking to the museum from the riverfront is an entertaining experience itself due to the nice views over Grenoble. There was no entrance fee when we visited (July 2025). The museum garden is a gem, as well as the former monastery cloister with a massive wood installation on display, reminding a monster with huge tentacles popping out from the ground.

Loved this place! It is very peaceful and it gives you a great view of the city and the mountains as well! It also has interesting collections! Would recommend for sure!

We visited on a Thursday afternoon; the museum was calm but not empty. The exhibition on the Bassari country was particularly enjoyable—well-curated and fascinating. We spent a couple of hours exploring the building and three other exhibitions. Highly recommended, especially with free admission.

Amazing museum, garden and chapel. I can’t believe it is free, it’s a stunning place, with multiple exhibitions

The restaurant itself is cozy and charming, but unfortunately, the service left a lot to be desired. During our visit, there were two incidents: a glass was broken behind the bar, which can happen, but then a cocktail was dropped right in front of our table, which was a bit frustrating. The waitress was very patient, especially since we were a group of four and only one of us spoke French, so he had to translate our orders. However, one fork was missing, and my friend had to wait about 10 minutes to get one, by which time his food had already gone cold. I also asked for a water refill, and while they said yes, it never arrived. On the positive side, the food was really good. I ordered the duck with mushroom sauce, and the sauce was fantastic. However, they didn’t mention that the sauce wasn’t included in the price—it was an extra €6, which was a surprise. For dessert, I had a layered ice cream (I can’t remember the name), and it was a lovely mix of fruit and ice cream with a great texture. Remember to reserve beforehand(online is also available)

Despite making reservations well in advance, we were unfortunately only offered uncomfortable seating options: either high tables or a cramped spot by the entrance, pressed against a wall in a narrow corner. We started with the house-made pâté en croûte, which was pretty underwhelming. The filling was hard to distinguish and lacked flavor. The only saving grace was the nicely baked crust. On the other hand, the soupe à l’oignon was a highlight, piping hot and generously topped with melted cheese. The beef tartare was excellent, and we appreciated being able to mix it ourselves to taste. Unfortunately, the sides didn’t hold up. The “fries” turned out to be potato wedges, more soft than crispy, and the gratin dauphinois was drenched in grease, making it overly heavy. Desserts were fairly standard. We tried the coupe colonel and the coupe chartreuse. The latter was well-balanced, especially since I asked for the alcohol on the side. My partner’s coupe colonel, however, had way too much vodka, making it intensely strong and causing the lemon sorbet to melt far too quickly. Overall, it’s a decent spot for French fare. The space is beautiful and the atmosphere lovely, but I wouldn’t return specifically for the food.

We ordered a ravioli dish, a burger, a portion of fries, a charcuterie and cheese board, cocktails and wine. The food was good although we ordered a well done burger that came medium… I personally don’t like blue cheese, but they were kind enough to change with another kind. The only downside is the slow service but overall it was a good dinner.

Excellent restaurant.. the food was amazing, specially the appetizers, and don’t forget to have Chartreuse ice cream at the end

Wonderful experience and delicious French cuisine! Our waitress was extremely helpful in trying to translate our English to French and vice versa as we navigated the menus and trying to understand the French words! We loved our selections and was extremely satisfied with what we ate! Would definitely recommend visiting but would recommend reservations after 7pm due to such a hot spot to sweat at. We got lucky when we did to get a table without them but wouldn't recommend.

Delicious food and lovely waiter. The service is very good. The only pity is that half of the skin of the duck breast was burnt and tasted bitter. Everything is good. The sauce, Pocini and duck meat are quite delicious.

This place has a real buzz and is obviously popular with locals as well as visitors. Great food and friendly service.

Really amazing food and very lovely friendly staff. Thanks for welcoming us when we couldn't find a table elsewhere:)

A great little restaurant, small menu - but everything we ordered was great. Portions are on the small size, but quality is first class. Would definitely revisit when in Grenoble. I must say, the signature dish - the octopus - was sensational, one of the best pulpo dishes I've eaten!

The restaurant is small and cozy, with an outdoor seating area in front. We reserved just a couple of hours ahead and they were easily able to accommodate us. They offer typical prix fixe menus that combine appetizers, main course, and dessert. I ordered the salmon appetizer and octopus main dish, both of which were delicious and beautifully prepared. Despite the seemingly small size of the dishes, the food was enough for me, although I’ll admit that I wasn’t starving when we arrived. With the menu and glass of wine, we each paid 34€, definitely worth it for the quality of the food.

The restaurant was good, bit quite trivial: each plate was made with cream, and you could have eaten fish, pork or chcken: you always get a side of beetroot, mushrooms, yellow carrot and plenty of whipped cream on top. Only the chicken got purea instead of venere red rice... eith the entries the same. You really need to add whiped cream to make something gourmet? The dervice was good and atmosphere also very nice. Price expensing considering the menu

This is my go-to restaurant when I visit Grenoble. It is located in the Championnet neighborhood which by itself is THE reference for good food and drinks in the city. Do not hesitate, I'm sure you are going to like it 👌

Small and cozy restaurant located in the center of championnet. Reservation is a must. They have outside and inside seating as well as a first floor. Menu is quite simple since it is small. The octopus plate is the signature one. Very great quantities and very tasty plate. Prices are fine and staff is friendly. They gave us mise en bouche to start

I chose based on Trip Advisor and did not make mistake, It is small restaurant just for ca 30people. You are warmly welocomed and chef comes to your table and explain everything abut daily menu, which includes only few course but great! He speaks like he would talk about fairytale. Food was super delicious. Really peak of Grenoble restaurants.

Excellent filet de boeuf on a port reduction, with mashed potatoes. The coulant chocolate was a good choice too. 7 years later and this place is still a gem.

This is a small, cozy and well stylished place in Grenoble, close to the center. The food is amazing and the stuff speaks English and are very polite.

Great food! Service was nice and atmosphere awesome

Best place ever in grenoble. The quality of food is the best, the service is excellent. We tried hamburger and tuna, but actually the lamb seems amazing, we'll try it soon!

We tried the 3 course lunch menu and it was fantastic! Definitely on par, or better yet, than Michelin starred restaurants we've been to. Each dish is beautifully presented, with fresh artisanal ingredients and full of flavour. Merci beaucoup!

This place is really nice, the menu is great and the products are really tasteful ! The waiters are nice and will help you selecting your wine for the dish you chose. The desserts were exquisite! I strongly recommend this place !

This was our big dinner out in Grenoble. Cuisine is intimate, well priced, and creative. This is gourmet cooking, not gourmand. Loved the service and wine recommendations. Menu changes every week.

Good place for Asian inspired dishes, with a nice presentation. Good vegetarian options. The owner is the cook as well, and on slow nights waits the tables. Some of the dishes seemed to be prepared ahead of time probably to deal with the logistics. A pleasent experience in any case.

i visited this restaurant 2016 and had a amazing evening there, i was surprised by the ideas and composition of the dishes. I loved the evening there, i wen't happy back to my hotel and plan to come back this year. Compared with other restaurants in grenoble the price is normal for how good it tastes and look! Update 2018! The new Menu were amazing!

Fantastic and an interesting mix of flavors. Staff spoke English well, for any travelers that are interested.

Compared to the Greek restaurant this was a gem. Everything was good, couldn't fault it great choice.

A wonderful restaurant. Appetizers, main dishes, and desserts representing various world cuisines are prepared from high-quality ingredients that blend perfectly, creating unforgettable taste profiles. Additionally, the plating of the dishes leaves the best impressions, as does the restaurant's interior, designed in Tibetan style. Pleasant service, a calm and cozy atmosphere.

Very nice Ambiance and delicious food and good service

Place: very pleasant place. Nicely decorated. Enough seats but not too much, so it doesn't feel crowded. The atmosphere is solemn. Service: Kind service made by the owner. Food: the food mixes, entry, main course and desert were really tasty with a fine touch on the levels and match of all the flavors. And the presentation is well put. We were three and there was enough dishes on the menu so that we could have different courses, all Vegetarian! Drinks: nice drinks, the cocktails were really well prepared. First time in a long time a daikiri gave me that pleasure.

Very lovely staff, amazing food and environment

The grilled tuna was tasty but the salad had lots of leaves that were old and starting to decompose. When pointed out to the waitress she said it’s because it was too hot! Too old more like! My husband’s salad was fine but the ham was of cheap quality. Not worth the price and a long wait. Pity as staff were friendly and inside looked cosy.

Good place, good topical food!

Lovely people attending and tasty food. Thank you very much for your kindness!!

Had a positive experience eating fondue with friends. We managed to get the last table during a busy lunch hour. Small space, but cozy atmosphere. We tried other items on the menu but the fondue was the best part. Wait staff were very nice.

It’s always a pleasure to come back to this restaurant. Atmosphere and food are special.

Very good tartiflette. My husband didn't like the one with mushrooms (maybe too much mushrooms) but for me it was good. The one with ham was amazing.
