Amazing - my go to when I am in France You will enjoy this…read morerestaurant for sure. A fixed menu and wonderful French wines

We had a really fun lunch here in our first afternoon in Provence. It is not cheap, and it is…read moresomewhat risky, as the menu for the day is pre-set, but the food is very good, and the portions are truly enormous -- almost to the point where you wish they'd give you less. The day we were there, the courses were: - Salad - Vegetables and cod - Snails - Cheese - Choice of dessert Each course probably could have been a meal on its own, and on top of all that, we were gorging on their incredible bread throughout the meal. The salad was very good, with the one downside being that it had anchovies, which we're not fans of. We both thought the veggies and fish were fairly pedestrian -- good, but not something I'd be really excited to get again. The snails, on the other hand, were surprisingly great. Neither of us eat snails, but we decided to be brave, and were rewarded for it. They were outstanding, as was the restaurant's home made mustard that we dipped them in. The cheese, though, is what we'll really remember though. For this course, they brought out a giant tray of cheeses, and you take as much of each as you want. By this point in the meal, we were both incredibly stuffed, but it didn't matter -- we took a ton of cheese, and it was tremendous. We both felt pretty gross afterwards, but it was worth it. That wasn't even the end, though -- after a little cool down period, we got dessert. My wife got chocolate ice cream, and I got the chocolate mousse, which was outstanding. Altogether, this is an experience I would definitely recommend, as we really enjoyed it, but it's not without its warts. My biggest pieces of advice would be to be prepared to eat a LOT, and check the menu in advance.

Everything is absolutely gorgeous and amazing. The servers are super nice and able to explain…read moreeverything in English for us. Tonight we had a food tour to India and the spices they used really made the average dishes unique in a flavorful way

This is the first Michelin starred restaurant I went to and it was beautiful. The restaurant itself…read morewas absolutely gorgeous and perfectly decorated. Our first week moving to France, Igor made reservations here on the recommendation of his mother for date night. There are windows into the kitchen so you can watch the chefs as you eat in between courses. Service was flawless. I really liked the head waiter dude. The head chef also came out several times to serve us different courses as well as the super cute pastry chef girl. The only surly person was the hostess girl marching around. There was an amuse bouche of three crunchy tiny pastry things. A lobster. Two fish dishes. A soup and dessert? We did the fixed course, but did not try the wine as I'm pregnant. So the food itself was very... avant garde? Earthy, seafoody, complex, but they seemed to use the same sauce/reduction for almost every dish... and it wasn't exactly my fave. There was a weird cheese souffle dish thing that was way too weird for me, but I'm not a fan of the stinky cheese. I completed 2/3 of the desserts. The meringue was heavenly. I really appreciated the effort and I had a lovely date night with Igor. Very filling, but a tiny bit disappointing in terms of taste; I probably expected too much. Other patrons were lovely except the obnoxious Americans being way too loud. Definitely worth the visit, but it was almost too fancy for us.

You know how have some meals that you will remember for the rest of your life, this was one of…read morethem. We decided to order the chef tasting, prix fixe menu. It was expensive but worth the once in a lifetime cost. The scallop course was the best scallop dish I have had in life. They were seared to perfection and the meat was so tender and sweet it was incredible. I also loved the pork and ravioli dish and the artichoke dish. We dined in the off season and it was cold and drizzly outside. They had a nice fire going in the fireplace for us. The dining room wasn't very busy. We were the first diner to arrive and our first coursed arrived very quickly. Once others started to arrive it slowed down quite a bit. At the end when were starting to tire, it slowed to a snails pace. (Speaking of which I also loved the escargot dish. I have never had them prepared this way and loved every bite!) That would be our only complaint. Otherwise a perfect evening.

Okay now to the review. My wife and I did the smaller of the two tasting menus which was still plenty of food. First dish was the Large Dublin Bay Prawn with a sheet of pasta on it. I did not know prawns could be so tender. I now know I have been eating prawns over cooked my entire life. Second was the squid small and big. Perfect! The croutons filled with soup was a nice touch not to mention I could eat a bowl of them like cereal. Third was The pigeon costieres. Fantastic with summer spinach. Cheese trolley came after and I don't think I have ever had unpasteurized cheese before. We just asked for an assortment and the selections they choose from us was thee goat and three cows milk. The desert was light cream with vanilla ice cream. Extremely light with the millefeuille. A nice touch and perfect close to a wonderful meal.
