"This is new on our repertoire of lunch spots and it is excellent. The cheese and charcuterie platter is fantastic and we were fortunate enough to be able to have farcon for lunch today, highly recommended! A local dish made with potato, prunes and bacon. Perfect for a sunny lunch on the mountain. If you're not skiing, the tramway du mont blanc stops 20m away. And there are unparalleled views of mont blanc. X"

Following a poor suggestion by the Saint-Gervais station ticket person, who highly recommended this restaurant, we decided to hold off having lunch until we reached the Col the Voza intermediate stop where the restaurant is located. We arrived at about one o'clock, checked the short menu available at the restaurant, sat for lunch and waited to be served. Here are the problems. To begin with, flies everywhere. You might say, it's not the restaurant fault. But, if your business is next to a field (who owns it?) with playing goats everywhere, what do you expect? We should have left right away. But, with no other place to eat around, we subjected ourself to the flying beasts and stayed put. Next, as the drinks arrived, the server spilled a glass of beer (not our drink) on our table top and our laps. Not a word of apology was uttered by the young lady. She just moved on. When it was our turn to order, we attempted to have some clarification about the menu items. Mind you, they have only eight to ten choices. And here is my complaint; If you have a business in an area frequented mostly by tourists, you should have somebody outfront who can speak a few words of English (a very popular language). Able to explain at least some of the ingredients on the menu items. No such luck. So we played the guessing game. A salad and a plate of charcuterie. Simple right? Not so, we waited and waited. It took almost half an hour to get our food while the flies continued to stay with us. Now, the French make excellent cheeses, but they don't know anything about their famed (?) charcuteries. They try to imitate the Italians, but they can't. Keep the cheeses flowing, leave the salami and the prosciutto to others. And, please don't serve salami with the skin still on. The salad (10 euros) was not much better. The jambon was one third fat, and, of course, with the skin still on. Running out of time, the next train was arriving, we paid our bill ever so glad to leave the flies behind. The pitcher of red wine was decent at 8 euros.
Having walked down from Bellevue where after the fact we realised we should have just stayed, myself, my partner and our 2yr old stopped for what we thought would be a reasonably priced relatively tasty lunch. Our arrival was acknowledged with an up and down scowl and not even a hint of a smile by a young and thoroughly miserable waitress. Though not busy, we sat for probably around 15/20minutes before anyone even gave a menu. The choice was small. We ordered 2 croûte au fromage, kids knack et pomme de terres sautées, an apple juice, carafe d’eau, 2 panache and 2 pints…the total 78€ WTF? For lunch? I understand you also pay for the setting but… Our soggy croûte was tepid with curdled cream, (and I’ve eaten a few over the years here) and mine had a dark short and curly which, whilst the thought still made me gag, I very much hoped was simply the gentleman’s chest hair as I ate my way around the area due to there not being anywhere else to get food until we reached Saint Gervais. Judging by other reviews I’d say we didn’t just catch them on a bad day. We say take a packed lunch or eat elsewhere as this is most definitely not worth it.
What a welcoming fire in such a cosy place on a miserable cloudy freezing day in April. The restaurant was much warmer than any other restaurant on the slopes and served lovely croute, omelette and farcon (delicious sweet potato and bacon cake). The owners were very accommodating with our fussy son and changed the jambon blanc available that day on the kids menu to salami with sauteed potatoes and he was very happy. A beautiful simple tarte mytilles to finish. This isn't haute cuisine but it's not intending to be, it's just genuine simple but delicious mountain food washed down with a carafe of wine. It's good value too. All the lift staff eat here and it stays open even after the ski area has closed as all the workers from the mountain come to eat there.
If you don 't know, when you hike (walk/tour around the the Alps in France or Switzerland, you 'll find cafes at various points among the trails what could be better than taking in a view over a bier? La Rioule situated next to the Gare Col de Voka did not disappoint, serving us the best cheese plate we had during our entire vacation (which wasn 't all hiking . Anyway, huge cheese plate two of us shared and ate it all (probably not a good idea as there was a lot of cheese : . The Pelforth was cold and tasty. And the salad hit the spot too. Many folks were just enjoying the sunshine and views and the company of fellow hikers. Just perfect.
