The Buvette de la Cascade de Berard is a fantastic little Buvette, or Snack Bar perched above the very spectacular Cascade de Berard. It has a nice wooden deck sticking out above the water fall and a nice bridge crossing the river before the water fall. They serve snack and drinks and are open in summer and apparently also at times in winter although I have not witnessed this myself yet.
The snack bar is a fantasic spot to bring your children on the short route coming up from Le Buet parking or train station. It can also serve as a great spot for a celebration beer after doing some of the longer routes coming in the direction of Servoz or the Le Buet summit.
