We read a nice review of this restaurant in a cycling guide…read more Our mistake was to show up to the place for lunch in our cycling attire. Maybe the place is a little too fancy pants for people dressed as cyclists (although we are after all at the foot of Mont Ventoux, and you see cyclists at most terraces). The server could have chosen to politely decline us service. Instead, he decided to place "reserved" signs on all 3 available tables as we were looking at the menu. We understood the passive aggressive message and didn't inquire further. We ate down the street and did take another look a bit later: the "reserved" tables were still empty.

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!

We were able to grab lunch there two of the days during our stay. I've written about one of our lunches. Food: My husband was in the mood for escargots and they had them on their dinner menu. The man was nice enough to make them for him for lunch. They tasted ok, but needed a bit more garlic. I ordered the croque monsieur which was also just ok. We ordered ice cream for dessert. Drinks: We ordered two oranginas and two small coffees. Price: 37.50 euros for two people. Ambiance: No ambiance. Just a simple cafe on the street which is sad because there's so much potential with this place. Service: The husband is the front of the house and is actually quite rude. Don't come here for the hospitality and it will be beneficial if you speak French. Would I go back? If it was anywhere else in the world I wouldn't go back because the food is mediocre and the service is rude. But since there aren't many options at Crillon Le Brave I would unfortunately find myself there if I wanted something simple to eat.

Located in the medieval city of Vaison la Romaine, you're surrounded by ancient stone houses, cobblestone roads and enchanting fountains. We were lucky to get one of three tables on the terrace for lunch on a typical sunny day in Provence. The menu is short but sweet: 2 starters, 3 mains (2 of which are always the same and a plat du jour which changes), and a selection of homemade ice cream for dessert (I didn't find out if there were other desserts after the strong recommendation of ice cream by another diner). This was by far our best meal in Provence. We paid twice as much for a meal at La Bartavelle and it wasn't half as good. My husband and I both had the namesake La Caillette, a Provençal specialty, and it doesn't get better than this one. It's like a very large pork meatball mixed with herbes de Provence, but believe me, it tastes way better than I could ever describe it so I won't try. It was served alongside a generous portion of perfectly seasoned bulgar and a whole juicy tomato and salad with a delicious vinaigrette. The meal tastes like one that would come out of a grandmother's kitchen in Provence. My husband and I talked to the friendly owner a while, who was quite good with English, and he's very passionate about the food and using high-quality ingredients. My husband and I also shared a small pitcher of rose wine which complemented the meal wonderfully. For dessert, I had mint ice cream with mint leaves strewn throughout. I told my husband you'd better have a bite of this because you'll never taste anything like it again. The ice cream was the essence of mint that grew wild in your garden as a child. And the creaminess... My husband had chocolate ice cream, which was excellent, but I just can't get over the mint. You must come to this special restaurant if you want a true Provençal meal for a modest price. And it's open continuously from 10-7, unlike many restaurants that close after lunch at 2:00. I only wish I had more time in the area so I could eat here again. It's one of those meals I'll always remember.
