When a chef from a competing village (not a competing restaurant with respect to experience) recommends a place, you gotta think it's gonna be good. Well, this place was frickin awesome. If by chance you are looking for home-style country looking in the Var region of Provence, this is the place to go! There is no menu. What they's cookin, it what you's eatin. They really don't sound like American southerners but they are country folk in those perched villages. Anyway, we barely understood what was on the menu but we looked around at what everyone else on the patio was eating and went along for the ride. Actually, we were going to say yes and eat there there no matter what anyway. By the way, the patio was one of the nicest we've been to in the region... shaded, clean, quiet, quaint.
The setting, service and meal was awesome. The eats were 3-courses. It started with a nice salad that went on to breaded veal that was fried with a mountain of amazing green beans... hearty! The deserts were a large cream-filled pastry and a chocolate opera cake that was like tiramisu but with less alcohol and more chocolate. The accompanying bread was good too... not the tasteless and/or dry stuff you can occasionally get at some restaurants in Provence... France... Europe.
In the end, the mean with a half-carafe (half bottle) of the house rosé wine was just 30€ I think... an amazingly inexpensive lunch that rocked our world. This trip in Provence was 3 weeks (last one was 5 weeks) and this restaurant has become my favorite dining experience over the 2 trips.
