She later booked us in the week and told us how sorry she was for her mistake. we had a great meal in the other restaurant and returned to estanco for another good meal. very traditional food. we did not regret getting the raclette after we saw the table next to us! the eating was nice as the atmosphere, and we were so glad that the owner went so much to fix the mistake. she often returned to our table to order with advice, descriptions of the local food and place we should visit for snowshoeing and other activities. we will have gone back

The host was very welcoming and explained the menu in detail in English. All the food is home cooked and it was delicious. read more The host was very welcoming and explained the menu in detail in English. All the food is home cooked and it was delicious.
