What a unique experience and pleasure dining here! We drove one and half hour from Nice but it was totally worth it. The ladies serving us were both kind and friendly, we can feel the passion and pride they have for their food. One of the ladies is so kind and wrote us a long list of the restaurants she recommended in Paris after learning that we’ll be staying in Paris for a few days.

The cocktail they made with their home made syrup is refreshing and delicious, and my partner and I both agree that the sausage is the best we’ve ever had. The dessert made with elderflower which is grown in their garden is still lingering in my mind after two weeks. We tried some other highly rated restaurants in France after this but nothing is as good as this place.

We love the location of this auberge too! The people are so nice and lovely in this village and we got so much kindness from the locals.

Thank you for hosting us! Hopefully we can go back again in the future.

Very disappointed. This was a gift for our parents. The location is great, the food delicious but the service was, quote « dreadful ».
Our parents were greeted rudely by the manager/person in charge who rushed them because they arrived « late », the service during the meal was rushed, staff definitely not friendly, the wine pairing wasn’t great either, our parents had to ask multiple times for the volume of the music to be lowered, only for it to be put back up minutes later each time….  For breakfast, same rude service, not accommodating at all and seemed annoyed when asked for alternative milk…
For the price, and the reputation of the place, the service definitely doesn’t meet the standards. Would not recommend.
