La Verde - Tende

We stayed in this restaurant hidden in the green, on the French road leading to the Colle di Tenda. We discovered it by chance, when we decided to take off the long queue to enter the tunnel and try again the climb to Italy after lunch. It was late, but we were welcomed. We were only two and, at the beginning, we seemed to wait a little too long for the course, but we realized why. We've been prepared all the time and I have to say it was worth it. Delicious Neapolitan hot aperitives, fried but not heavy. Home balls, with a homemade nut sauce with a real nut taste and totally different from the industrial. A huge mixed salad, which would quietly feed three people even if we asked only one serving. If we hadn't been pressed, we would certainly have taken dessert. We spent 28 euros and I think it's a fair price (especially in relation to the average price of the French Riviera we came). The family running the restaurant was very nice and cared and made us feel really shocked. Too bad for the place, maybe a little too hidden.
