My favourite place in the area: authentic, and charming. I have been coming to this restaurant…read moresince i was a kid and always loved it: excellent traditional french food (try the huge variety of cheeses!) great products and a beautiful place. Service is amazing. We came with kids and the owner and waitresses did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and welcomed. There is a beautiful garden at the back for sunny days. Very impressive!

Almost perfect. We had delicate meals of different varieties. The beef was cooked to perfection and…read morethe sautéed mushrooms and sauce that accomplices it was delicious. Foies gras for starters and a couple of delicious "fillers", that cleansed our senses, readying us between courses, were as delicate as they were unexpected. We chose wines from the high end of the price ranges - which was very close to shop prices. Either they're really good at wine shopping, foreseeing enough to buy well in advance or they just don't add a lot their price. In any case delightful to be able to taste expensive wines without bleeding - which gives them the fifth star - it's really good value for money. We sat outside and the hot summer exploded into a rain festival - which was not problem at all, as the massive umbrellas provided sufficient shelter for all of us 9 guests. The waiters managed to cover all servings of courses at the cost of soaking themselves. That's commitment. The desserts were slightly less convincing than the starter and main course - hence the introduction, almost perfect. I know it's not very French to give a tip but I was really impressed by the food, wine and they were very service minded, so I tried to convince the waitress to add 10%. She downright refused. Told me to go elsewhere with my fancy manners. With a a smile that convinced me to come back. The restaurant has an associated hotel which I will give a try the next time we're in this area. And off course we will have dinner again.

A tourist couple told us to head 5 km to St. Jean aux boix and try this charming place, and she was right. We got a standard room overlooking the little village and enjoyed an amazing dinner at their lovely restaurant. Most people were wearing suits, except us Californians, (I did bring a dress, but my husband only wears Hawaiian shirts unless on a cruise when he has a full tux) and another French family, but it didn't matter. The service was first class. My salad nicoise was amazing, my pollock perfectly prepared, and the wine list is an encyclopedia.
