La Para In Marebbe

21/08/2024: You get to Gallo Cedrone via the Mont'Elmo cable car, for which we pay 32 euros per person for the return journey. We decide to do it on a rather overcast day with a chance of rain. Once out of the cable car, we turn right and take a short 10-minute stretch of road that is almost entirely uphill, until we see the refuge. Given the uncertain weather there are no problems in sitting 6 of us immediately, we order after a few minutes. We also spent a few minutes talking with the friendly owner, who told us little anecdotes about the area. The dishes arrive quickly: appetizing polenta, pasta with venison ragout and macaroni alla shepherdess according to a complex family recipe that only the owner is able to repeat. Overall, all in all satisfactory, prices are slightly high, with an average of €20/person spent to eat 6 first courses, water and 3 portions of dessert.

11/08/2024: Location: Located a short distance from the Monte Elmo ski lift station, this refuge is easily reachable after a short hike. Menu: It offers a mainly tourist proposal, but with attention to local tradition, offering dishes that reflect the gastronomic roots of the area. Service: The staff are courteous, fast and effective, ensuring a high-quality service and a no-frills experience. Bill: Prices are in line with those of other venues in the area, offering good value for money.
