Auberge du Col de Bavella

This is a typical tourist trap. We were told we would have to wait, but because we had our little boy with us, we were advised to buy a crepe accross the street and have some drinks here. At that point we felt understood - waiting is hard for a one year old. As time passed, we felt we did not want to wait longer and wanted to pay by card, but we were told there was a minimum spend of 15 euros. At that point we decided that we could maybe stretch it out some more. After another 25 minutes we were shown to our table, and an hour later we finally got our food, after someone noticed no plates and thought we might like to pay... The food we had was not tasteful. Then it turned out that we could not pay by card. Sour faces from the manager. Few of the staff seemed motivated to make it a pleasant stay for their guests, and I would recommend not going here.

We spent the afternoon at the Col de Bavella looking at wildflowers and birds. We popped into the Auberge for a quick cup of coffee and to use the facilities, sitting on the outside terrace. We could see other groups eating attractively presented food and enjoying the ambience.

We took the dinner package when staying at the Auberge. very nice ambiance at the bar, Very nice restaurant with nice food. Very comforting after a day of hiking or, like us, doing 'le trou de la bombe' trail.

Meal was ok. We had to wait a little for the waiter, but we were on holidays, no hurry. The best thing on the restaurant is the view, the athmosphere
