my bf's dad lives nearby in Eygalieres, so while planning for our trip, I asked him, "where's your…read more FAVORITE restaurant in the south of France?" and he said "it's this old barn that's been renovated, the food is really good, I'd give it 5 stars".
my bf, is critical of everything, and has never rated anything a 5 stars.... so of course, we had to try this place for my birthday lunch! and I completely agree!
The place is gorgeous inside! we came in last week, and ate inside/outside, so we had a nice cross breeze and ambiance.
They have 2 fixed menus, lunch or dinner.
for the lunch menu, you get an appetizer, a main and a dessert, AND 2 glasses of wine (red or white) and espresso to finish. all for a VERY reasonable price.
this place is Michelin recommended. and deservedly so.
you get 2 choices for each dish. the bf and I got the same, and his dad got the shrimp appetizer. pictures to follow. :)
fresh Ravioli with mushrooms and parmesan - amazing! Light, uber fresh ravioli pasta, we couldn't get enough of this beurre blanc sauce it came with. we sopped up all the sauce w/ the bread.
Lamb. 2 slices of lamb loin, with creme freche wrapped in eggplant, with fingerling potatoes. *these are french potatoes that are lighter than their american counterparts*.
Vanilla bean ice cream with meringue cookies and raspberry compote. I'm not a meringue girl, they usually leave a funny feeling on my tongue that i dislike. BUT, the almond meringue cookies they had here, were amazing! I ate 1.5 cookies! (bf only ate 0.5 cookies. i happily finished it off)
Banana and chocolate crepe with vanilla bean ice cream. You can tell they make the ice cream on site.
2 glasses wine. Coffee and water. Great price!
This place has GREAT value for Amazing food. I have a new favorite place for the south of france too! I will have to come back every time we visit his dad!
