- Precio: €€

Restaurant of the Hôtel du Cirque et de la Cascade, inside the Cirque de Gavarnie, with a terrace facing the Grande Cascade and produce from the valleys; May to September, no booking.

What to eat
Traditional home cooking using only produce from the valleys: cured meats and meats from the Sabathié charcuterie in Barèges, trout from the La Truite des Pyrénées fish farm in Lau-Balagnas, Bigorre black pork from Pierre Sajous, veal and lamb from Franck Sajous's Pays Toy in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, and cheeses from the Berducou family. Next door, Chez Moussu sells takeaway sandwiches made with the same produce, and the bar serves drinks, ice-cream sundaes and pastries from 11:00 to 18:00.
The house
It is the building you see in the middle of the cirque at the end of the path from the village: the Hôtel du Cirque et de la Cascade, in operation since 1845. You eat on a shaded terrace facing the Grande Cascade, or indoors if the weather is bad. You can't get here by car: you walk in a good hour from Gavarnie, or ride a horse or donkey in season.
Opening hours
Open from early May to late September, snow permitting, from 12:00 to 14:30, every day and with no booking. From October, bring your own lunch.

Qué pedir: Trout or Pays Toy lamb on the terrace, with the waterfall in front of you; to take away, a sandwich from Chez Moussu.
