Les Gorges De Sarenne

Had just left Alpe d'Huez and was looking for a lunch-stop coming down the mountain. I decided on this restaurant because I saw a van-load of local road -workers stopping and decided to follow the old idea of the locals knowing a good place to eat. Had a good meal with a very good steak and chips, however perhaps the most remarkable thing was that the proprietor said that he had no ketchup as he only stocked that in summer (presumably many more tourists stopping then !

We spent two weeks just down the d211a from La Garde recently and would finish our day cycling up the first 5 switchbacks to turn off here at the restaurant. More than once we stopped to refresh ourselves from the stupidly hard climb by taking a table at Les Gorges and ordering frites and Leffe. Great, informal service and a ring side seat to the world cycling by on the D211.

This is a simple basic bistro, serving standard but tasty bistro food, and providing excellent service at a wonderful location. Do not expect anything spectacular, a soup, salad, quick meal and a nice desert is all you will get here, but it is all well prepared, and you probably do not expect more if stopping over for a quick bite as you are cycling or walking around.

Located on one of the lower bends of the Alpe d’Huez climb it provides a welcome drink if you are not going for a Strava time up the mountain. Have passed it many times but couldn’t resist a drink, just this once.
