Ra Culeta In Bajardo

Exactly what one need when riding a bike

Great restaurant and bar for a drink and a bite to eat in the village centre! Note that they don't always accept menus!

Amazing goat and beans, brandacujun, etc....you eat like a king and you spend relatively little for the product offered. Highly recommended. We happened to pass by on our motorbike, looking for a sandwich. Luckily, we tried the osteria and had a great time ❤️❤️❤️

Osteria Ra Culeta is a charming spot located in the beautiful Italian village of Bajardo, perched at an altitude of over 900 meters. I regularly go there during my bike rides to stop for a coffee in a typical Italian village setting, authentic and a real change of scenery. Just fifty kilometers from La Turbie or Monaco, it feels like stepping back in time and far from the French Riviera. The coffee is always excellent, served in the Italian style with a beautiful, long-lasting crema that doesn't dissipate after a few seconds. The pastries are also very good. The staff is pleasant, kind, and welcoming, embodying that friendly Italian spirit that makes the place so charming. I haven't yet had the chance to try the food, but the homemade dishes I've seen, especially the rabbit, looked delicious and very authentic. I definitely intend to go back soon to find out. In summary: an authentic, warm and exotic address, perfect for a coffee break or a timeless moment in the Italian hinterland.

It's been almost 10 years since we discovered this restaurant, and each visit delights us. The warm welcome and the relationship we've developed with the hosts are truly unique and special. The deliciousness and quality of the dishes, reflecting local family cuisine, satisfy us every time. The village, which we constantly rediscover, enchants us with every turn of its narrow streets. We will return again and again. A heartfelt thank you to the whole family.
