"at the late lunch and had great food. more lively place so a because for order be taken, but once ordered eating arrived quickly, was delicious and enjoyable"
I see that a number of people have given this restaurant less than complimentary reviews and I have to disagree with them, vehemently. Consider how you approach Gavarnie before coming here as this will I'm sure impact upon your judgement too. This is a pretty...little village without doubt but is in the back of beyond. If you come here on a day trip from Lourdes in your air-conditioned coach or car, you are probably going to have unrealistic expectations of Claire Montagne. I though took a different approach, I had spent the previous night in the Refuge La Breche de Roland. This bijou mountain hut, sleeps in small rooms, has no hot water, shower facilities and only one inside WC. It is also...
We took a walk to the Cirque at Gavarnie as many do, and popped in here on spec. There is a terrace with a view along the valley and a relaxed atmosphere (possibly helped by the late summer sun and a glass of Jurancon). There...are local specialities including the local Pork (served medium! but absolutely wonderful try it and trout for my fish eating partner . Beware vegetarians there may be lardons in some of the potato dishes. Best crepe and honey my partner had ever had, and as many ways to eat Myrtilles (billberries) as required. As its a limited bistro menu it was fast and the staff were helpful and explained things in English when required. Great experience!
Two other adults,myself and three teenagers visiting from Lourdes wished to have coffee and refreshments in this establishment. An arrogant and pompous proprietor refused us entry and when asked by my colleague the reason,responded by slamming the door and walking away shouting. ...????clearly not interested...in contributing to the Gavarnie tourist business community...incredible bad behaviour by any standards.
our hotel recommended this restaurant for lunch, it is very good. the personal is efficient and absolutely charming. eating is delicious, well served, locally and especially. a lot of change. hot, cold, small or large dishes of all prices. great value. good beer. I... although this restaurant is the most authentic and best cooked in the village, but I just tried the restaurant in gavarnie.

We were there on a weekday in March which is not a very busy time. There were only about five choices for lunch and none of them appropriate for vegetarians. If you eat meat you will have an excellent lunch at a price you would...expect in Paris. But this was the only restaurant open and it seemed that the prices reflected the lack of competition. The hot and cold wine was delicious.
We dined here and really enjoyed the local trout and its accompaniments, and for desert we had crepes with myrtilles, and myrtilles sorbet really delicious. The decor included lots of quirky Pyrenees themed items yet tasteful. I liked the marmotte lampshade so much that...I bought one!
we thought here was an salad for lunch before we went to the cirque. we ordered two different salads, which proved to be almost the same. there was almost no cheese in them, and very little dressing. really boring eating.
we had a nice walk in the park and then needed a snack. they were not yet open for lunch, but offered us a beautiful blue-beet and tee. really nice staff and a clean bath that was needed much after our walk.
