Le Ranch - La Bollène-Vésubie

A perfect summary of the French hospitality in the area of Nice (the only place in France that could come in this respect near Paris, I was with 2 people from Paris). The owner refused to serve us drinks because it was too late, while he still brought main courses to other customers. Upstairs we were asked to go immediately, although one of us did not finish his bottle of water. Don't even try to go there... this place doesn't deserve to exist.

Nice cozy facilities, friendly staff and a really nice dinner and breakfast. We stayed here as a small group as one of our nights on a 7-day riding.

Three of us stopped here for lunch after we forced Turini. The food was perfect, two of us had salads and an omelette. It was cold at the top and we all shimmered so we were happy to find a fire in the restaurant on the way to the toilets. The restaurant was empty otherwise, so we warmed ourselves before we went down the Col. The owner told us the fire was private and we should go. This incredible lack of empathy ruined an otherwise beautiful meal.

Stopped off here with some friends recently on a charity drive through Europe.The place was fantastic. Rustic, with some good motorsport related pictures due to its famous location. Great for petrol heads.The service was good, very polite and personal from this family owned restaurant.The menu was comprehensive, we asked for something slightly different to what was on offer for a vegetarian and it was no problem. Delicious.Its hard to fault decent food in such a picturesque setting.

No doubt about the quality of the location. Nice relaxed seating outside where one can enjoy the sun and the views in general. We just stopped for a lunch sandwich and a refreshment. Knowing the quality of baguette one can get in France this was by far up to that quality - so a little disappointing. The service was fine and pleasant and the coffee ok. Maybe we will try some real dishes another time and update review, but for now it can only be rated average. Prices are ok for the area/location.
