Located alongside a main road, El Niu occupies a stone house with an interior featuring traditional mountain decor, including an open fire, skis, snowshoes etc, plus a notable profusion of wood. The à la carte, traditional in composition but with added French touches, is enhanced by interesting daily specials that the female owner “sings” to every guest (traditional country pâté, leek pudding with a cep mushroom and black truffle sauce, pig trotter stew with snails etc).
