Agriturismo Maison Rosset

in ,

At the Maisson Rosset agritourism cheerful and professional owner Camillo will make you feel right at home, comforted in a warm, welcoming and romantic atmosphere. The dining room is  located on the ground floor which was previously used as a dining hall for farm workers. The restaurant still has all of the architectural details of its time: stone floors, ceilings with exposed bricks, a fireplace that’s always on and on which the polenta (that’s always present on the menu) bubbles away. The chef offers a variety of menus € 40 for adults and € 15 for children up until the age of 12, and is always respectful of the seasons and traditions of the valley.The fixed menu offers the possibility to sample Valdostan specialties, cooked with ingredients that are grown on the premises and which make every dish unique. We recommend their crostini with butter, honey and lard, their pates and flans, and from their first courses their polenta, gnocchi and vegetable cream soups and their juniper cured meat which is truly extraordinary. For a grand finale try their fennel and juniper infused cheeses which are made on the premises. Leave room for their ice cream with hot chocolate that together with the polenta and fondue are unforgettable.
