The famous mushroom restaurant in Badalucco, near San Remo in Italy. We cycled to Ca Mea, a famous Mushroom restaurant in Badalucco in Italy. Unfortunately we had an accident on the fantastic cycling riviera cycle path, all captured in glorious technicolour on my insta 360onex, and then ristorante Ca Mea had a disaster all of its own. This film introduces you to a fantastic mushroom restaurant and the equally wonderful riviera cycle path from Ospedaletti though San Remo to Santo Stefano al mare.

  1. oh wow! how lovely to see you with Mr George! Summer of '86 saw me haunting Menton, Ventimiglia, San Remo and Bordegera so this was thrilling to watch. Also brave of you to cycle them italian roads. id have thrown up with those drops. great video, keep em coming x

  2. Great trip… and I loved the footage of the accident waiting to happen… That mushroom pasta and deep fried mushrooms look particularly fabulous! Oh my god, that really brings home the destruction we just take it in whilst watching this on the news!

  3. Except for the tragic ending which I was sorry to see, your videos are the best. If I were you I'd get a rear view mirror for your bike and that crazy guy behind you. No sense suing. LOL It seems as usual you produce an interesting, fabulous, mouth watering video. I have to show my husband because his favorite food is mushrooms. How did you eat all the food? It looked yummy. Your jokes leave something to be desired! J/k thank you for showing us a good time minus your accident.

  4. Hi, I’m from badalucco, and I loved this, here’s just a few facts.
    The son of the owner of camea owns the bar pradio in the village
    Also, sadly, the owner of Camea has passed away.
    And as you may already know, the bridge by camea has been completely destroyed.

    All the best

  5. Wonderful video!!!! Harrowing tunnel experience. Mushroom restaurant was terrific! So sorry to see the damage from the storm on the area. Love from Vermont

  6. Just sat and watched your video with my family…we were in Italy about 17 years ago when I was only about 6 years old and we stumbled across this restaurant. We had a very similar menu, laughed hysterically over the chamber pots as they were the same back then! Devastated to see the rivers done damage. I hope to return one day!

  7. I've been catching up on some of your early episodes Tim, and this was a gem. it looks like a great journey for those who love to cycle. Fortunate you were able to capture Ristorante Ca' Mea before the tragic flood as wel. I don't see mention or reviews after your visit, so I wonder if it's passed into history now or re-opened in some fashion?

  8. Ca'Mea is my favorite restaurant in the Argentina Valley. Up to 2019 I went twice a year but never once did I manage the whole menu. But I always finished with the Tiramasu. I hope to go again this year, 2022, but it may be my last trip due to my age and the rising cost of car hire which has doubled during the Covid epidemic.
