This tiny hole-in-the-wall bistro with an unassuming menu is a class act, and an outstanding value. The host was friendly and welcoming and speaks just enough English. His wife(?) worked magic in the tiny kitchen. The house rosé was delicious, the best I've tasted in the Rhone so far, as was the house red wine, served chilled. Far better then one would expect for the price and for the house wine.
Before the meal came we were given the most delicious local olives, and bread with garlic olive oil. I don't even like olives but these were very tasty. For entrees we had the burger and the Salade de Mattis, both of which came with lovely little roasted new potatoes. Sarah devoured the burger so I only got one tasty bite. The salad was yummy too, with tender pan-seared chicken with a delicate sauce, nicely dressed greens, and little rolls of eggplant, which I didn't like until I tasted them with the tomato sauce they were with - the chef worked some culinary magic to make the combination quite wonderful.
My wife and I had dinner here tonight, and the owner told us that it was only their second day of being open! They showed no signs of working things out - everything was on point, from the decor to the service to the food. Everything is organic and they list all of the purveyors of their ingredients on the menu. I only wish I had saved room for dessert. I think we got very lucky getting in early, because the prices are sure to rise when this place gets discovered. read more
