This was our first meal in Turin. My wife and I had just finished coming back from the city square…read morebut we were too hungry to wait for dinner later in the evening. We were so jet-lagged, all we wanted to do was eat something light and go to sleep. We looked for restaurants not too far from us and we thought that Bariole was interesting. The restaurant was relatively small inside but had outdoor seating. When we arrived the server told us that he cannot seat us inside without a reservation but outside seating was available. Since it wasn't too cold, we thought a quick 30 minute dinner should be fine. I ordered the speck crepe with figs, cheese and spinach while my wife ordered the salmon crepe with creme fraiche and potatoes. There is also an option to add a fried egg or additional meats for one euro. The dishes were surprisingly good. I've never had savory crepes before so this was shockingly good. The figs were good counterbalance to the saltiness if the speck. The salmon my wife ordered as very fresh but wasn't a fan of the potatoes. We also ordered some local reds and they were absolutely delicious. Both wines were from Asti. Overall I think this is a great place for a quick meal. It is different from normal Piedmont food but the quality of the food was good and had great vibes

I sat in the patio that was tucked in the back and sheltered from the sun by a couple of surrounding buildings. The atmosphere is very modest and French. They served the tea to me with the most beautiful saucer and tea set. I have yet to try the food that they were serving but the group beside me that sat down for lunch were very obviously enjoying their meal. I will definitely be back.

We managed to enjoy our last day here with an amazing 29 euro prix fix lunch! The quality of the food was super fresh. Lynch was in the more casual cafe area of this restaurant. Dinner is upstairs in the fancier dining room. But this is perfect because for lunch most people are rolling in casual either partly in ski gear or in jeans. The duck rillette that I had came in a jar and was so tasty esp with the perfect baguette. There was a decent amount to choose from in the lunch menu. We paired it with an excellent bottle of Beaujolais! Definitely want to come back for the tasting menu dinner the next time we're in Val D'Isere. This is the reason why we come back year after to year to ski in the French Alps.

Some of us had soup for starters, and the onion came with a puff-pastry top. Steaks were tasty, but cooked to British levels (eg medium was only slight pink in the middle) rather than French. I had a platter of small desserts which were very good, but the coffee was stereotypically French (ie poor).

Luckily my hostess got the insight about this tea house from her daughter who had visited just two days before. When you enter the place you see the adorable decorative items reminiscent of a French cafe. There are small cafe tables and an enclosed patio that is adjacent to the main room. You feel as if you are a world away...which could be why there were so many couples chatting or whispering sweet nothings to each other. One's eyes are drawn automatically to the display case with shelves of tortes... Drooling is expected from this luscious display. The menu of beverages reads like a novel; it is so large: green teas, infusions, Chinese teas, Indian teas, Black teas, hot chocolates, etcetera etcetera. I had a slice of Arancia cheesecake which was cheesecake with a layer of marmalade and slices of Orange on top. With this I had an infusion called "Feeling Good." And, yes, I did feel good about eating the good food and hot beverage in such a charming spot. This is a find. Get here as soon as possible before the secret gets out!

Although they are pre-packaged, don't underestimate the little guys in the basket on the counter before the display case of regular sweets.
