A tourist Place If…read moreyou are looking for a small unpretentious place in the heart of a pretty village, you have come to the right place! If you are looking for fine cuisine, good service and authenticity, this is not the place for you. I had dinner there last week and have mixed feelings about the place. The food was pretty ordinary though I had a chicken "burger" that sounded interesting on paper but did not translate into a pleasant experience. My companion had the Italian Pasta which was also pretty ordinary. Prices are moderate. As mentioned before, the restaurant is very small, just a few tables, some across the narrow street from the restaurant. It is located in the heart of the beautiful village of Fayence. The owners seem to be the sole operators: she serves and he cooks. He also talks... A lot. Both are working hard to give the place the appearance of an authentic rustic-but-genuine small restaurant; it seems too much like an act to me. It seems like they are trying very hard to cater to the tourist crowd, the type that will go back home and talk to their friends about the little restaurant they discovered that is so French...

Come armed with patience!…read more If you want to spend a long time waiting for your food, this place is for you. Set in a nice location a couple of kilometers outside Fayence, la table d'Yves is a well known restaurant in the region. From the outside terrace, you will enjoy views of the neighboring villages perched on nearby hills. The setting is elegant and refined. The menu is okay with some of the dishes you would expect in an establishment of this category. There are 2 set menus: the saveurs menu at 33 Euros and the Inspiration menu at 49 Euros. Both of these offer very limited choices which is particularly disappointing in the case of the higher price menu. One of us went a la carte and picked the carre d'agneau roti (lamb) which was cooked at the requested temperature (pink) and was declared satisfactory. The other two went with the Inspiration menu. One of the appetizers was the fleur de courgettes farcies which was very good; the other one, croustillant de chevres frais, was just okay. The main dish we both had, lotte rotie (monk fish), was disappointing; the fish was not very tasty and the sauce pretty bland. The desserts were fine but not exceptional. The wine a Clos d'Esclans rose was fine when it finally reached our table. Overall, we left with the perception that this was a disappointing meal, especially in light of the prices. We did not expect to pay less; we expected to eat better. I would be remiss not to mention the inordinate amount of time we spent waiting at each stage of the meal. We arrived at 7:30 pm and left just before 10:00 pm. There were a total of 3 people hosting, serving, bussing, etc for close to 50 guests. Not sure if the kitchen is also a pacing item but this was very frustrating. Overall, this meal fell short of our expectations.
