What a breath of fresh air then, to stumble on this little cafe in the tiny hamlet of Vals. Our Dutch waitress was delightful and spoke fluent English. She accommodated our party of 6, passing pilgrims, locals and other holiday makers with ease. I was delighted to have a choice of foods, with vege tapas and salads. It was also possible to mix and match, as the salads came in 2 different sizes. I also think that this would be a wonderful place to spend a dark, winter's evening, sitting near the log burner, playing some of the board games that were available or bashing out some tunes on the piano.

We were just going to stop for a coffee but we're tempted by the tart which was delicious and very reasonably priced. Very friendly service and a lovely setting as well. We will be back.

This is a family business and all the family (including baby) were very keen to serve and chat to us. The coffee was the best I had tasted in quite a while. Highly recommend.
