"A great place when you're hiking in the mountains. Restaurant on the farm. There is a farm shop, you can look at the animals. Very tasty. And good service."
Jul Gvarianashvili
"Fantastic restaurant with a really friendly staff. The cheese platter was very good especially the cheese they make themselves. The bone marrow was delicious. But the star of the show was the main course which was the veal chop for me. Definitely recommended! They are located on the Chasse piste in Val Thorens."
