We had simmered fresh sausage with sunchoke cream sauce and candied fruit mustard syrup (14,00); tongue with bagnet verd, onions and potatoes (14,00); fresh ribbon pasta with flakes of summer truffles (14,00) and a stuffed quail with foie gras and cornmeal spiced with saffron (23,00). Lots of wine choices were available. Small toilets but remember this is an old building.

Easy to arrive by parking either side of the torrent; a pleasant walk in this fairy village is a must or mountain hike before or after meals. Better to reserve not only here but for all restaurants since is a small village, empty in the weekdays but crowded in the weekends.
