"We just had something to drink - I had the hot chocolate and can say that it was delicious. The view is incredible. We sat outside but there is nice seating inside as well. The bartender/waiter that helped us was friendly and was able to help us in English. We went up with the Verticalp Emosson experience, there is parking though."

"The only cafe at the barrage so the food is definitely on the pricier side. That being said, I’ve been here almost 10 times now and every time the waiters have always been very cheerful and friendly. The sausage and chips is awesome."
