It's larger than it appears, with outdoor tables stretching around the side Anna across the street to the restaurant's bar. The service is excellent and attentive, and the atmosphere is perfect. That's why people come here and linger. The menu is good too, but the food itself was a little disappointing. Perfectly fine, and fresh, and reasonably priced, but a little over dressed and under seasoned. I'd give Chez Paulette 3 stars for food, but 5 stars for everything else.

Le Potager du Mas is one of those gems of Provence that you can only imagine in dreams. You pull…read moreup to a secluded spot not far from Avignon, and a large garden awaits with fruits and vegetables of all types. You soon realize those are the fruits and vegetables you will be eating for dinner. Just to the left of the garden is a beautiful inn that only has 10 rooms called Mas de La Rose. There is a lovely pool, lavender fields, and grapes growing all around. The restaurant itself is headed up by a chef named Fabien, who takes great pride in each dish, both in the presentation and the fresh ingredients. The outdoor seating on a beautiful southern French night could not be any more ethereal. Yet, there is nothing pretentious about the staff or any part of the restaurant. I started with a salad with the freshest of ingredients, followed by scallops and polenta. The herbs / seasonings/sauces were sublime. Dessert was also a treat with all sorts of homemade sorbets and ice creams. The wine list was short but filled with local gems. This was truly the meal of a lifetime, but reasonably priced (for a wonderful French meal) at 55 Euros for all three courses. I cannot recommend it highly enough and can't wait to go back. Don't miss this hidden gem on your next trip to Provence. Worth the drive!

From the table decors to the excellent desserts and everything in between, this has to be the best ensemble of a French meal I've not only seen but tasted, period. A night of great food, wine, service, ambience, people and a view from the top of the hill, what could possibly be better than this, right?? This was a first class all the way experience which I don't need to write a novel to tell you. Just look and drool over the photos, you'll want to be here in the beautiful town of Gordes, France, I promise.

We had scallops avocado and orange salad, and salted cod with mashed potatoes, aoli, tomato coulis and vegetables. The cod was artfully presented. Each accompaniment was separate on the plate but all mixed and matched together well as one wished. The house white wine was tasty. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the salad was lightly dressed. Each table is given their own olive oil, sea salt, balsamic mister, and pepper grinder to additionally dress salad or bread. Service is typical French, not hovering or rushing the diner. Price for the two entrees plus 25 cl. of wine was only 39 E or about $44.

Not in the main square of this town and may be a little tricky to find but find it you must!

Alice and her husband chef Bernard have created an oasis just outside Saint Remy. It's a totally beautiful place - garden, art gallery, restaurant, with touches of great detail and care. Nothing has been overlooked, all blend into a perfect evening of dining. On arrival you are shown to either the lower patio or garden for aperitifs. You'll already feel relaxed and happy. Alice brings out her menu book - she has lovingly hand-written every menu for each day - and describes each dish. The menu is short - as it should be - and includes local ingredients, including things from their garden. Their wine expert helps you plan your evening wines. Again, a short list of terrific wines, most available by the glass. We had 3 or 4 flights, beginning with Champagne and ending with a Cote de Beaune with the cheese course. By the way, Alice and the waitstaff all speak perfect English, except for one young lady, who was so sweet you were almost glad she didn't. Delicious and interesting amuses were brought out with out Champagne, and your contentment level goes up another notch. For dinner you move to the upper patio or garden, just outside the gallery room. It's truly lovely - the art gallery begins to glow around sunset. Everything is of a piece - the teardrop (or artist's palette) shaped tables, the china, the candelabras, the table hangers for the ladies' handbags. We were dressed up a bit, but the locals were very casual. Food was uniformly delicious, langoustine entree, tuna and John Dory mains, dessert and cheese course. The tuna was impeccable - beautiful presentation, accompanied by local garden ingredients like baby wild asparagus and baby radishes, perfectly cooked. Service was gracious yet casual. I hope Alice and Bernard are still providing a beautiful experience. It was for us.

The husband and wife proprietors of Mas l'amarine were surprisingly young and yet executed flawlessly! She was the front person and just delightful. He was the chef and was concerned and accommodating to our individual dietary needs. The decor is very modern in an chateau setting, which for us and our friends was a fun departure from the usual Provençal experience. The kitchen was apparently open by European standards but not at all by American standards...in fact couldn't see it from the dining room. I mention only because apparently some old school patrons have been put off by the decor and close kitchen arrangements. In my opinion you would be missing out on an exceptional meal by judging by those narrow standards. The presentation of the food was beautiful and our table ordered each entree option. The lamb with smokey herbs was truly memorable. The venison was amazing and both the sea bass and red snapper were exceptional. The fresh seasonal mushroom starter was exceptional as well. The desserts didn't disappoint either!! Can you tell that we were delighted by everything?? Anyhow, point is, if you are in the area, it is a MUST visit if you want a great foodie experience. Again, it is NOT quintessential Provençal food or interior design...but that should be a draw not a distraction!! Enjoy!!!
