Really enjoyed.
Lovely to site outside in an idyllic courtyard on a warm summers afternoon in the company of friends. Opted for a menu as one does in France, whether you need it or not! A limited number of seasonal choices for the various courses - good! Dishes were good but nothing really wow. Mains were a bit disappointing, fish/dorado not very flavourful & pork cheek would have benefitted from a better presentation. Service was good and local wines excellent. A lovely afternoon out with friends.

Wow!  Just wow!  Returning diners, we were once again very impressed with the friendly hosts and waiters, and of course chef.  You will not be disappointed.  Keep this secret so we can get a table next time!  An old school house, basic decor but incredible food.  Savour the flavours of every single bite.  Fantastique!  Merci beaucoup for making our birthday celebration so special.

This is a ‘don’t miss it’ restaurant if you have the opportunity to visit this place… DO.
The ‘menu’ is great and start off with a glass of champagne and have some advice from the staff on wine selection… the younger guy certainly knows. But this place is all about the enjoyment of food. The garden terrace is a great place to sit…. (In the shade preferably). We had the opportunity to visit twice and really enjoyed it.

We are visiting France from the U.K. and this was, without doubt, the best meal we have had in our time here.

We were a little nervous as travelling with three young children but we shouldn’t have been as they were provided with wonderful, child friendly meals which left them asking for more. It’s not often all three kids clear their plate!

We selected the 5 course option and every one was amazing. The absolute highlights were the Lobster Ravioli, the Fillet of Beef and the Chocolate Mousse but in truth every one was 10/10. The meal was also accompanied with a wonderful local wine from their excellent selection. The Fillet of Beef was genuinely the best I’ve ever had and I’ve tried many in my travels around the world.

If you are visiting the area I highly recommend you book a table at this restaurant. The setting is very picturesque, the service friendly and the food divine. We are so grateful we took the opportunity to eat at this local jewel.
