la ferme gourmande

Fantastic place - what a gem of a find. Arrived late in Aosta as en route to south Italy, tired and hungry due to Mount Blanc tunnel being shut, so we had to drive up and over the St Bernard pass. Dropping down the Italian side, we were looking for places to eat and rest for the night, stopping in Aosta. The hotel didn't do food but pointed us a few streets away where we would find all the restaurants. After wandering for several minutes trying to find something that we both agreed on (easier said than done when both tired and hungry), we saw a sandwich board sign on the pavement that simply said 'Restaurant this way'. We simply followed the sign and down some steps into a wonderful grotto place to eat. We were shown to a table, it was about half full but peaceful - just what we needed after a days solid driving. The waiter who served us recommended a bottle with our chosen food which was on point. The food was fantastic, very tasteful. Portions just right, atmosphere relaxing, wine was fabulous (we even bought another bottle to bring home) - highly recommended and if in the area will visit again.

Tasty food. Great meat quality. an exceptional and kid-friendly service !

Unreal food. Simply divine Waiter was such a gent Get this wine. Unreal value.

The food was delicious. The starters and main courses were locally sourced produce. We mistakenly thought we ordered carpaccio, but had in fact ordered steak tartare. It turned out to be a great mistake. The tartare was delicious. The wine too was from the Aosta Valley. We'll be back next year. You should visit.

Quaint spot tucked away from the main street. Dishes were excellent and some of the best representation I have found of quality food from the region.
