Les meilleurs restaurants en Hautes-Alpes

13/05/2026: The food is good, although the value for money could be a little better. It remains a very convenient takeaway option, especially when you want something quick and easy.

11/05/2026: I met you at your stand near the ice rink at the Gap fair. I loved the service and the food, and I'll definitely come see you again at Place Jean Marcelin or in Champsaur with your food truck.

26/01/2026: An arrogant boss or manager who likes to badmouth his customers at the checkout; it's just awkward when you're standing right there. Personally, I won't be eating there again; there are far better restaurants in Vars where you get friendly service.

26/01/2026: We hadn't even tasted the food yet and we already wanted to leave. We were a table of 15 who were going to order a lot, but that didn't stop the servers from being unpleasant. It wasn't possible to make even the smallest change to the burgers despite our allergies. The waitress's responses were curt. We didn't feel welcome at all. It was the first and last time we'll be there. Sincerely, A disgruntled Belgian

11/06/2026: Lovely campsite just behind the lake. Excellent location for cycling. The campsite has a load of suggested routes which you can download the gpx files for making route planning so easy. The facilities are quality and there's two bars/restaurants by the lakeside.

06/06/2026: Stayed a few nights in campsite, great individual pitches, separated with hedges and trees. We were near the only ones. Nice swimming pool

08/08/2026: Highly recommended restaurant! Excellent value for money. Friendly staff. Very good food. Superb atmosphere, especially late in the evening.

14/03/2026: Basic but disappointing food. The pizzas looked sad, and the pasta with cheese was mostly butter. The staff seemed a bit overwhelmed with managing the service. Coffee was reasonably priced, and water was free.

28/08/2026: We visited this chocolate shop today, a place we've known for years, and unfortunately, we were very disappointed. After eating ice cream and cakes, three out of four of us experienced severe stomach aches. We also found the place very dusty, which is frankly not reassuring in a chocolate shop. The drinks are served in cardboard cups. To top it all off, the owner was unpleasant, which only compounded our disappointment. It's a real shame, because we've known this place for a long time, but as far as we're concerned, we won't be going back.

25/08/2026: We went to this pastry and chocolate shop, which was supposed to be a trip down memory lane. Unfortunately, the taste wasn't there. The hazelnut cake was packaged in an old tea carton (I'm all for recycling, but still, it's rather poor professional practice). The cake was rancid and very sickening. We also bought some small chocolate shortbread cookies, and again, the same thing happened: extremely hard and rancid. The hygiene was rather questionable when you look closely. What a shame...

04/05/2026: The savory section of the display case is completely empty. Not a single sandwich, slice of pizza, or anything; it was impossible to eat, so we went elsewhere.

22/04/2026: The quality of service and products is declining.

08/07/2026: Friendly staff, very good quality bread and pastries

22/10/2026: Stale bread for the Savoyard fondue, some pieces with mold on them, a soggy plate, several flies in the room as well as dead flies on the ceiling... €89 for a Savoyard fondue and a steak frites is highway robbery for such poor quality, and they even told us they gave our son's grenadine soda for free!!

27/08/2026: To end the season, we were greeted with a smile, and that alone was a pleasure. Delicious and generous portions. A great time. Thank you, La Ciotadène.

23/04/2026: 2 years ago I collected everyones cups for return and thought i would return all of them myself but obviously you cant do that. They told me not to do it anymore but I was a stupid 18 year old so i thought i was in the right. I am sad that i never apologized for my behaviour.

02/04/2026: We go there regularly, summer and winter, and we're always warmly welcomed with a smile! There's a great menu to suit all tastes! I highly recommend it!!

12/10/2026: Thank you very much. Very kind.

12/10/2026: Excellent, dynamic service and the quality is there.

02/07/2026: A wide and frequently updated selection, great prices, but above all, what a treat!!! Impossible to come only once 🍨

29/06/2026: Gelato with many flavors, very well made, and a space outside to sit and eat after ordering at the counter. There's no table service and the tables are rather rustic, but the gelato is delicious and worth the stop!

08/08/2026: We had dinner at the restaurant and enjoyed refreshments several times in the garden adjoining the terrace. Dinner was delicious; all three courses were excellent, as were the desserts. The service was pleasant and impeccable. After your hike, you can relax with a drink in a deckchair in the garden. In short, a place not to be missed when you visit Vars les Claux.

07/08/2026: An exceptional location for an aperitif. Conversely, I've never seen such slow and inefficient service. After a 40-minute wait, with no tables left to serve, we decided to order inside. A charming young woman arrived and sat down next to us. Before she could even sit down, a waiter took her order... The next day, we went back, thinking it was just bad luck. Well, no! After another 30-minute wait, we decided to leave. It's a shame because the setting and location are ideal.

12/08/2026: We received a very warm welcome; the staff were very friendly and pleasant. However, the breakfast was disappointing: €15 for a meal with no fruit, only white bread, no cereal, limited variety, and nothing was replenished even though we hadn't arrived until the end of service. A shame.

08/04/2026: You will receive a very warm welcome at this ideally located hotel, perfect for ski-in/ski-out access. The service is efficient and responsive to any special requests. The hotel restaurant is excellent. A highly recommended place to stay.

30/08/2026: We had a wonderful time at this restaurant! The food was excellent, and we received a very warm welcome. As it was the end of the season, some dishes on the menu were indeed unavailable. However, contrary to what I've read in some reviews, we were informed of this by the waiter, who took the time to explain the options and was very attentive, pleasant, and professional throughout the meal. This wasn't a problem for us at all. We also had a very good experience with the Roquefort sauce: it truly tasted like Roquefort! The portions were also generous and delicious. Regarding the service, we arrived around 7 pm and noticed other customers arriving later. Personally, we didn't find the welcome cold, unpleasant, or rushed at all. On the contrary, the manager greeted her customers warmly, and she and the staff came to ask us several times if everything was alright. This just goes to show how the same situation can be experienced very differently depending on the person and the circumstances. Thank you to the whole team for the delicious meal and the wonderful time. We'll gladly come back! 😊

28/08/2026: A real disappointment. A very disappointing experience at this restaurant. The waiter let us look at the menus and make our choices, but upon his return, several of the dishes we had selected were no longer available. It's a shame this wasn't mentioned from the start; it would have prevented us from choosing for nothing. Special mention goes to our 4-year-old son's meal, as he had also chosen an unavailable item. Sauce suggestion: The Roquefort sauce was simply tasteless: no Roquefort flavor whatsoever, just a greasy taste. A Roquefort sauce without any real Roquefort flavor is quite difficult to understand… And the coffee—don't add this to your final bill if you don't want to feel like you're drinking coffee grounds… We shared our comments with the waiter, quite politely. The manager then became particularly unpleasant when it came time to present the bill and didn't even bother to say goodbye when we left. (Upon our arrival, she opened the door for us with lightning speed, considering the resort was empty at the end of the season.) We clearly felt that our comments hadn't been appreciated. Unfortunately, between the unavailable dishes that weren't mentioned, the very disappointing quality of the food, and the poor service, we won't be returning. It was an experience we would have preferred to avoid.
