Welcome
We opened in 1981 with one oven, four tables and the mountain veal. Today there are two rooms, a terrace over the valley and a wine cellar you don't expect in a village. The oven is the same one.
Weekday lunches with a dish of the day, family weekends, kid goat on Sundays to order. Tell us how many and we handle the rest.
