Food scene

Great family restaurant with fantastic atmosphere! Enjoy Pasta and Pizza from the menu that has not changed since the 70's. The first purpose of this building was as a Cow Shed which provided the township stores with milk. It has the most amazing open fire and a great spot to hit to warm up after being on the slopes for the day.
