Buvette du Bisse (Tennis) in Ayent

I went here twice- one which was 4 stars and then to play tennis, which was 1 star. Averaging it to 3 stars assuming I caught someone on a bad day. Positive visit: Came here for a quick snack and drink. The tall thin woman working there was very kind and spoke French and English with me. She joked around, checked up on me, and it was a wonderful, simple experience. Food was limited but decent and fair prices. I was the only non-local, so appreciated her kindness. Negative: went to practice my serves (courts are completely open and since I can see the court from my apartment, people walk in and out) and the shorter stout lady stops me and asks for 15 CH to play for an hour (if I don’t have some tourism card?). She only spoke fast French to me and was really rude. When I asked where it says it costs 15 CH (in french) or needed some card. She ignored me and pointed to the practice board and said “c’est gratuit” and walked away. It is a poorly kept board with a hilariously un-level surface. But I played there since I lugged my stuff from the apartment anyway. She turned away from me the entire time, refused to acknowledge me when I left.

Warm welcome and place not to be missed after a hike along the Bisse d'Ayent.
