The story
As one of the most iconic natural wonders in the United States, Grand Canyon Village draws millions of visitors annually—but according to Sardinian food vlogger Giovanni Fois, the dining options don’t live up to the views. In his on-the-road desert tour, Fois sums up the food here as “overpriced and disappointing,” a sentiment that will likely resonate with travelers who expect at least decent sustenance after a long day of hiking.
Fois points specifically to gelato and coffee as examples, though he doesn’t endorse either. Without naming a particular restaurant, he makes clear that the village’s culinary offerings fall short of the grandeur surrounding them. For those planning a trip, bringing provisions may be a wiser choice than relying on the inflated, underwhelming options available on-site.

Gelato
I got this gelato — cream and caramel and chocolate — for 5 euros and 50. Shame on myself and on Rome's south side. At this moment my stomach is turning over.
Coffee
This is the coffee for 46 euros. And here exactly now we drive the car through the Grand Canyon.
