Café de la Gardette

Villard-Notre-Dame
Guinguette, traditional restaurant
We welcome you on our beautiful cozy terrace with local and authentic homemade cuisine. You can sip and taste at any time. In addition, a micro-grocery store by our local producers.
A restaurant with the look of a mountain guinguette, an exotic place that we have created in our image: warm and relaxed.

Romain Brun, owner and crystal enthusiast, calls his restaurant “café de la Gardette”. This name takes on its full meaning here in the village of Villard-Notre-Dame, where the Gardette Mine is located, known worldwide for its unique quartz crystals.

Grandson of a miner and great-great-grandson of Fareillets (resident of Villard-Notre-Dame,) Romain, guided by his ancestors, wanted to combine work and passion in his village so dear to his heart.

This is how he will find himself passionately behind the stoves to help you discover simple and authentic cuisine made with seasonal products from our local producers.
