THE best Boulanger in all of Provence, without doubt! We came upon Benjamin Jouval's incredible…read morebakery / cafe / brunch spot the week we stayed in Rustrel, Provence, FR. Truly amazing bakery with some of the most classic French pastries ever. We went to one of the most famous Boulangeries in Paris and this was far better. Classic, rustic and more country like. The breads and pastries were to die for. Say hello to Benjamin when you stop in while hitting the markets in Provence. It's a short easy drive near Apt, Roussilon and Gordes. A must stop while in Provence!

We couldn't have been happier! A simple "stand" with outside seating (you order and pay inside, if…read moreyou are eating there they will bring your food)... a bakery with simple selections, but everything on the menu is outstanding. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a 5 star michelin experience - this is a quick bite and simple fare in the middle of touring the city and the greater Luberon. We arrived late in the afternoon parched and hungry, but knowing there would be likely zero options. We actually walked by the little door opening at first, while exploring the adorable city. Upon realizing that "this was it", and the only open option on a slow Spring weekday, we happily perused the menu... all fresh, delicious, and seemingly mostly salads (a refreshing departure from the heavier foods and options are other spots). I had, as ridiculous as this sounds, what quickly became the best omelette I have ever eaten out at a restaurant. Obviously I was hungry, but it was masterful, to be sure. My wife had the quiche of the day. Both came on rectangular plates and were exceptional well presented considering the atmosphere. They came with light salads, and a tomato remoulade. I ordered a schweppes, we got a 50cl Rose (approx), and we got cappucino's at the end. The total for both of us was 31 Euro, a total of $40 USD or so. So impressive! It was an unexpected treat to receive one of the most fresh and delicious meals from an unassuming boulangerie-patisserie! For what this spot is, and for what the kind owner and staff are doing here as a service to the town and tourists... it should really be more than 5 stars. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
