Baita Ermitage - COURMAYEUR

I had a great dinner with my companion. Service, food and location are top. try the polenta concia but all dishes are great. The Gamay wine which I didn't know was surprisingly good

We popped in late in February and it was before the restaurant opened, and after the cafe closed (circa 18:00). They accommodated us and made the menu available. We never felt pressurised to finish or not welcome. The place is always busy, and mainly by Italians and locals. always a very good sign The place is also easily accessible via the many forest trails that are fairly well marked. The little Chappel nearby is interesting too. The vista itself is worth the walk. The area is used for hiking and sunbathing (even in February)

We have been several times to the Ermitage and it still has fantastic location..which we do remember from the days we joined it for lunch. I was a bit disappointed this round due to a series of event I think. One the menu is very limited and essentially is about Polenta. Unfortunately we Polenta the night before so I ended up ordering the crepes with ham and local cheese. Very good. Second we have just been 2 days before to the best restaurant of Courma (see my other post) so got a bit disappointed. In summary: good food, maybe a bit too spartan, great view to enjoy during the day

Friendly and smiling staff, high quality food at a very honest price, we had a great time from salted crepes to polenta to dessert, very good

Exceptional setting, mountain cuisine with an Italian touch, service to the top. cosi, cute, typical. Too bad it's on our way home
