Bivouac Napoleon - Bourg-Saint-Pierre

It's a charming restaurant with some character, no question. But service was far from acceptable, giving us the feeling they were doing us a favour. Food was only ok, and very expensive. We left the place regretting our decision of stopping there to have lunch.

We stopped at this restaurant during a road trip, mainly because of the kids. From outside, it looked nice, and we thought it would be better to eat in a proper restaurant instead of an average gas station road stop. Big mistake... After entering and sitting by ourselves it took 10min until someone asked whether we were going to eat. Well, if I'm sitting in a restaurant, I'm willing to eat...anyway, we were shown another table and given menus. We ordered a risotto, a portion of fries, and 2 pasta dishes: one with mushrooms and one with nothing, just olive oil and salt. It took around 25min for the food to arrive. The risotto was fine, as well as the fries. The pasta with olive oil came also with black pepper which for our 4 yr old son was difficult to eat, so he stuck with the bread only. The pasta with mushrooms was borderline ok: absolutely nothing special, and the mushrooms were extremely soft, too watery to be honest, and difficult to swallow. Maybe that's the way they do it there, but I'd rather have them a little more firm, so I could taste them. No drinks, just water, and the bill came at 90 swiss francs! In summary: if you can, stay away from it unless you are a regular and like it. Otherwise, stop on the road stations, and you'll get better food for a better price.

Schönes und ruhiges Hotel gleich zu Beginn der Tour des Combin Treck. Freundliches Personal. Sehr schönes Restaurant zum Abendessen und gutes Frühstück.

Die Qualität des Essens ist ausgezeichnet, besonders das Fleisch vom heißen Stein war hervorragend. Der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Es wird sogar Deutsch gesprochen, was sehr nett ist. Ein großartiges Restaurant mit tollen Leuten, komme gerne wieder.

Es handelt sich um ein charmantes Restaurant mit Charakter, das steht außer Frage. Doch der Service ließ zu wünschen übrig und wir hatten das Gefühl, dass man uns einen Gefallen tut. Das Essen war nur durchschnittlich und sehr teuer. Wir bedauern es, unser Mittagessen in diesem Restaurant eingenommen zu haben.
