Place for drinks with a great little covered terrace providing a beautiful view. Order at the bar and drinks brought to your table. This is not a place for you if you expect high end service.

A very nice place right in the central square. You would usually expect a tourist trap in places like that, but here you got a tasty food, great service and all that at reasonable prices

Great place for a little apéro overlooking the valley. Just wait until a table becomes available and then play "musical chairs" until you get the perfect view. He'll even let you bring in outside food if you order drinks from him so a meal with a view.
