We went to "Le Jadis" on our first evening in lovely Moustiers Sainte Marie. The Restaurant was…read morenearby our apartment and it looked very classic. Its located in the middle of Moustiers and you can sit in- and outside. You can choose between traditional dishes and also pizza, salad and pasta dishes. We had a pizza which was really good and tartar, which is a classic dish in part of the country. The service is friendly and they speak english. The servings are very big, even though the prices are small. The pizza is about 8 EUR. We would come back every time!

It is a gastro restaurant yet provencal and feels very welcoming, the decor is magnifique. The daurade et risotto was delicious.

Before I review, I just have to say...I am stunned that this establishment is not on Yelp yet! This…read moreplace is phenomenal! Reine Sammut knows exactly how to feed (and love) her patrons and I cannot recommend her restaurant more highly. If ever in the Luberon region, please make a visit to this 'contemporary'-Provencal-garden gem. As you can tell already, my review is less for the room (which was simple, cozy and down-to-earth) and more for the extraordinary experience we had on their dining terrace. To give a bit of background, my husband and I were on the road for a couple weeks in Provence already and while everywhere we dined was delicious, I regretfully must admit that all our 3 hour long fine dining meals did begin to blend into each other...it was until our meal at Auberge la Feniere that something stood out again and both the experience and food were distinct. We both did the summer discovery tasting menu and this is exactly what we had: -Foie gras citron cream mousse-foam -Tomato tartar of the garden, bacon "bellota bellota" like a pan con tomato -Bush ravioli, coco cream sparkling and pistou -Sea Bass steam with coriander, tagliatelles of courgettes violin and stuffed flowers (or) -Roasted young pigeon, with garlic confit, crusty giblets and fried girolle mushrooms -Selection of fresh and mature cheeses from Mr Rostand -White peach syrup, honey tile and verbena ice-cream Everything was incredible but our absolute favorite dish of the entire meal and 3 week trip was the tomato tartar appetizer with bellota ham in a crisp shell. I would go back JUST for that, and I'm pretty sure we will go back! Anyway, it was well worth the money (85 euro pp for the discovery menu) and time to enjoy such a gourmet meal here and to truly have something to celebrate about.

Instantly we became big fans... so much we ended up coming in three to four time a week. The menu happens to be set, however, David, the owner, will accommodate to whatever your needs may be. This was incredible as we had our three children with us!! (Yes this place is very kid friendly) The wine selection is fabulous and they do have a full bar! Overall our experience was amazing and we will definitely be going back when we return next Summer! Thank you to David and Bruno, the chef, for making our dining exposure wonderful during our stay in France!!!

Let me establish a context for this review. We have eaten at some of the best restaurants in France…read more(e.g., Jamin, L'Esperance) as well as North America (e.g., The Maisonette, Charley Trotter's, Truffle, Silk). We do not think of ourselves as food snobs BUT we do appreciate quality ingredients that are carefully prepared. Now for our story. We arrived in Provence the evening of October 2, 2019 tired and hungry. We found this restaurant and the menu looked intriguing. Not many items (4-5 appetizers, 4-5 main courses, 4-5 desserts). We decided to give it a try, knowing that posted menu items can be delightful or mundane, depending on the care and quality of the chef. It would be an understatement to say that we were blown away. We were so impressed that we made reservations to return on October 8 to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The meal, yet again, was absolutely incredible. We ordered a more expensive tasting menu as we wanted a cheese course. We thought that meant choosing one of the options on the menu. However, that was not the case. The chef-owner asked if we had any food allergies or aversions and then went back and prepared food that was not on the menu. Including a couple of courses above and beyond the tasting menu we ordered. In two nights, we had nine courses. Each course was lovingly prepared with fresh, high quality ingredients. While I cannot single out a course that was head and shoulders above the others, that is because all of them were exquisite. Personally, I loved the smoked salmon appetizer as well as the zucchini palate teaser. A special dessert cake for our second trip also was to die for. In my opinion, while the menu options are small, the quality of the preparation makes this place a very affordable alternative to some of the best restaurants we have ever been to. Should we find ourselves back in Apt, we definitely will dine there again.

Top notch. Chef traveled the world for 28 years as chef in British embassies before returning to…read moreFrance recently. We had the special which was tandoori chicken, shrimp curry and dessert. Everything was delicious including the panecotta and chocolate lava cake for dessert. Hopefully we will have a chance to return during this short trip.
