Before I review, I just have to say...I am stunned that this establishment is not on Yelp yet! This…read moreplace is phenomenal!
Reine Sammut knows exactly how to feed (and love) her patrons and I cannot recommend her restaurant more highly. If ever in the Luberon region, please make a visit to this 'contemporary'-Provencal-garden gem.
As you can tell already, my review is less for the room (which was simple, cozy and down-to-earth) and more for the extraordinary experience we had on their dining terrace.
To give a bit of background, my husband and I were on the road for a couple weeks in Provence already and while everywhere we dined was delicious, I regretfully must admit that all our 3 hour long fine dining meals did begin to blend into each other...it was until our meal at Auberge la Feniere that something stood out again and both the experience and food were distinct.
We both did the summer discovery tasting menu and this is exactly what we had:
-Foie gras citron cream mousse-foam
-Tomato tartar of the garden, bacon "bellota bellota" like a pan con tomato
-Bush ravioli, coco cream sparkling and pistou
-Sea Bass steam with coriander, tagliatelles of courgettes violin and stuffed flowers
(or)
-Roasted young pigeon, with garlic confit, crusty giblets and fried girolle mushrooms
-Selection of fresh and mature cheeses from Mr Rostand
-White peach syrup, honey tile and verbena ice-cream
Everything was incredible but our absolute favorite dish of the entire meal and 3 week trip was the tomato tartar appetizer with bellota ham in a crisp shell.
I would go back JUST for that, and I'm pretty sure we will go back!
Anyway, it was well worth the money (85 euro pp for the discovery menu) and time to enjoy such a gourmet meal here and to truly have something to celebrate about.
