One of the most enjoyable dinners I've ever had. The location is at the end of a mountain road over looking Courmayeur with a view of Monte Bianco and other peaks. The dinning area is beautifully appointed with Alpine style. And that was only the beginning of an amazing meal. Everyone that works there was a pleasure to meet and interact with. But, the best part of it all was the food! The appetizers were incredible I highly recommend trying the picked onions. The Ermitage Special was amazing, the gratin was served hot and had what tasted to me like a hint of nutmeg.

Read moreI seldomly leave restaurant reviews but, having just returned from Baita Ermitage, I feel obliged to advise all Courmayeur's visitors to make the trip to this fabulous restaurant!
The food is outstanding (we had a cold cuts board with truly scrumptious lardo and prosciutto, as well as delicious home made pasta and carne valdostana), the waiters were professional, prepared and courteous, and the atmosphere warm and homely.

100% would recommend and cannot wait to come...
