Amuse bouche was creative and excellent, never would have done that: a mouse of cold tuna and cream, with chopped red beets on top. Entrees were cantelope with jamon espagne. creatively done (whole circles of melon cut with a mandolin), and a green gazpacho Mains were a perfect: Maigre (a type of white Mediterranean fish), and a perfectly cooked filet of veal, juicy and flavorfull. Dessert, delicious sorbets and ice cream on a hot afternoon. Local Rose went well. all in all, excellent.

First off, the atmosphere was very relaxing. Next to us, there was a fountain that the waiters and waitresses filled up the buckets that held the wine. It was covered in moss and looked beautiful. We were also covered by trees so it was shady. As we sat down they served us some olives and bread. For the Mise En Bouche (which means "happy mouth" in French), everyone got a sort of salmon soup that was really good. For my first course I got tomatoes 3 ways. It came out different than I thought, it was a soup rather than a platter, but it was still fabulous. My main course was duck with some vegetables. My brother asked for a bite-for-a-bite (something my family does), but I said no, because of how tender and delicious the duck was. Last, but not least was dessert. We all got this really, really good desert. No idea what it was, but it was the best dessert I have had in my 12 years on this earth. It had some chocolate in it and some kind of coffee pudding. Even my dad, whose least favorite thing on earth is coffee, loved it. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone and everyone who is in the immediate vicinity. It was amazing!

Our wine tour coordinator and wine sommelier, Céline, highly recommended the salmon and zuccini starter, with main menu of medium rare rack of lamb. We chose chocolate mousse pear with ice cream. Everything was made with fresh ingredients. The salmon and zuccini were divine. The lamb was soft and delicate. The chocolate mousse pairing with the cooked pear and ice cream was magical. The restaurant is near the ruins of Pope's chateau high on the hill. We took our time climbing each step from the village. It was worth the experience, even before we got to the restaurant. Please do make your reservation early. We see a number of group of people were turned away due to a fully booked lunch schedule.

We were seated inside the restaurant and since we didn't speak any French, ordering was quite tough for us, but luckily our waiter was extremely kind and recommended some excellent dishes. The entrée + plat + dessert in particular comes at a good price, and the dishes are certainly delicious as well. Got the Mini Salade de chévre chaud, which I initially didn't like due to the sauce, but combined with the cheese tasted much better as I warmed up to it. Steak de Thon mi-cuit was the highlight, thought it was beef but turned out to be fish, but was equally as good! To finish it off, I had Créme brulée Praliné, which was excellent! Overall, would highly recommend and will definitely come back if nearby.

3 for the food, rounded up due to the fantastic service…read more As a one Michelin starred restaurant, we had such higher expectations. My friends visited one year ago and raved about this place so much, they tried booking it a year out. We did the chefs taster and got these: - Pineapple water as a palate cleanser: 4/5 subtle and sweet - Mussels with a crisp: 4/5. Kind of bland but nice crisp to it - Marinated tomatoes topped with fresh greens, herbs, and some foam: 5/5 - Shrimp carpaccio: 2/5 ugh. Very fresh shrimp but with shrimp paste, shrimp pieces, the head, tail and guts, all you tasted was fishy shrimp. All 5 of us disliked it. - Sea bass in ratatouille sauce: 3/5. Bland and the ratatouille sauce was meh. - Chocolate caramel lava cake with whiskey filling, and spun whiskey sugar. It came with elderflower ice cream. 5/5! Hands down blew everyone away - Lemon caviar tart palate cleanser: 4/5 delish and beautiful presentation. Just a very tad too tart but still so good. The fresh breads, butter, etc were all good but wish it was toasty and warm. For a Michelin restaurant, it honestly should be! They have a very extensive wine list but I didn't like the champagne we got. However the red wine was fabulous. Would I return? No. But I'm glad I tried it on an epic day as the Tour de France.

Long story short, they don't pay attention to allergies…read more I told them multiple times about a severe shellfish allergy. Twice upon making my reservation. Twice upon my arrival. I was assured each time that it wouldn't be a problem. Additionally, I went through the 5 course tasting menu since that is what I intended to order. I pointed out the dishes that I couldn't eat and was assured that it wasn't a problem and that they could make substitutions. After all of that, they served me a dish that included a bisque made with lobster. I knew it upon my first taste. When I asked the staff, they confirmed my suspicion. They removed the dish and apologized. When I received my bill, there was no adjustment made. I even paid for the dish that I couldn't eat???? So disappointing, I expected better. Now, on my last night in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, instead of enjoying the town, I'm in bed drugged to on benadryl and covered in hydrocortisone cream to try to battle the hives. Thank God I didn't have to use my epi pen.
