Bivouac Serre Chevalier — Restaurant in Briançon

After some to-ing and fro-ing the owner somehow felt the need to step in and state (I quote) "I am an instructor, mountain guide and owner of this place and it seems you don't want our help."

A fantastic spot for a relaxed and tasty meal in the mountains. Highly...
