Restaurant du Sanctuaire de la Madone d'Utelle

It was a beautiful site and a magnificent sanctuary. Unfortunately we have learned that the place has been forced to close, i.e., for “unfair competition” vis a vis of the nearest restaurateur... Restorer himself at the origin of this request. But can we really compare a sanctuary to a hotel-restaurant? However, the sanctuary never had anything from a restaurant: was offered a unique dish on order served by volunteers. Sir, what a shame!

It was excellent before, because apparently the entire site (restaurant store sanctuary) has been closed since November 1, 2017 for dark reasons of work for compliance. I'm surprised that a notice could have been given in December 2017. The phone doesn't answer, and everything is deserted. Extraordinary panorama, but if we're hungry, we have to get back on the road!

We decided to nest during our walk and then we let ourselves be tempted by the price more than attractive of the menu 9€50 for dessert and coffee flat entrance! It is advisable to book but we were able to have lunch. The owners would have let us sting inside despite everything.The meal was simple but good and the friendly atmosphere with a beautiful view.Sale of local products at the request also. An experience to repeat!

So here it all starts with the winch, very pleasant, smoothly, and then, just let yourself go to the sandstones of your hosts; It's not a big kitchen but we're not there for this, but it's simple and good (and healthy! So... think about the next time you're here!

He wasn't very handsome, he was even raining. We were very kindly received by our host, and without reservation we were entitled to a salad of cruelty with charcuterie and a daube home with polenta. And for 15€ per person with aperitif and coffee. In addition, there is a shop with homemade products: pastis, olive oil, wines, aperitif... We recommend
