Du Parc — Restaurant in Courmayeur

Recently visited this Italian cafe, and to be honest, I was left disappointed. The service was surprisingly bad. The senior waiter in a burgundy waistcoat was clearly not in the mood - rude, unfriendly and did not care at all about our requests.

The most unpleasant thing - we were not even offered to sit inside, even though it was cold outside. We had to sit and freeze even though there were free seats in the cafe.

The food was ok, but clearly not worth the inflated prices they ask for. In the end, instead of a nice dinner, we got a spoilt mood and the feeling that we paid for something more than this establishment has to offer.

Definitely not recommended if you care not only about the taste of food, but also about comfort and...

Unfortunately, as a few other reviewers pointed out, the cover charge is extortionate- we even had to pay for our 2 year old and 5 year old…didn’t even receive bread or salt and pepper. That aside, the food is average; you don’t get what you pay for and would be better heading to literally any other pizza joint in town. Finally, the waitress was incredibly rude - credit to her English skills, she spoke well enough to leave us feeling like we had a rubbish evening - hence taking time to leave this review.

Avoid unless you’re just stopping for a beer. But add on the 3.50 cover if you want it in a glass and to be seated on a chair

A mixed experience. Dining el fresco in the shadows of the Italian alps with a fantastic glass of wine was delightful. The portions were quite large and filling. The service was quite good. The quality of food was not quite up to par with the other restaurants we have been to in Italy and France, but still pretty good. The cover charge of €3.50 is out of step to the poshness of the establishment. Perhaps they are trying to prevent someone from occupying a table all day while nursing a glass of wine or beer, but if that is the case they can forego the cover charge if the total of the bill is over €70, as was our case. It is a trifling amount but left a bad taste...
