Our wine tour coordinator and wine sommelier, Céline, highly recommended the salmon and zuccini starter, with main menu of medium rare rack of lamb. We chose chocolate mousse pear with ice cream. Everything was made with fresh ingredients. The salmon and zuccini were divine. The lamb was soft and delicate. The chocolate mousse pairing with the cooked pear and ice cream was magical. The restaurant is near the ruins of Pope's chateau high on the hill. We took our time climbing each step from the village. It was worth the experience, even before we got to the restaurant. Please do make your reservation early. We see a number of group of people were turned away due to a fully booked lunch schedule.

My friends visited one year ago and raved about this place so much, they tried booking it a year out. We did the chefs taster and got these: - Pineapple water as a palate cleanser: 4/5 subtle and sweet - Mussels with a crisp: 4/5. Kind of bland but nice crisp to it - Marinated tomatoes topped with fresh greens, herbs, and some foam: 5/5 - Shrimp carpaccio: 2/5 ugh. Very fresh shrimp but with shrimp paste, shrimp pieces, the head, tail and guts, all you tasted was fishy shrimp. All 5 of us disliked it. - Sea bass in ratatouille sauce: 3/5. Bland and the ratatouille sauce was meh. - Chocolate caramel lava cake with whiskey filling, and spun whiskey sugar. It came with elderflower ice cream. 5/5! Hands down blew everyone away - Lemon caviar tart palate cleanser: 4/5 delish and beautiful presentation. Just a very tad too tart but still so good. The fresh breads, butter, etc were all good but wish it was toasty and warm. For a Michelin restaurant, it honestly should be! They have a very extensive wine list but I didn't like the champagne we got. However the red wine was fabulous. Would I return? No. But I'm glad I tried it on an epic day as the Tour de France.
