We were all seated on the outdoor patio, which was pretty hot given that it was 38° out, but it got a little bit cooler throughout the meal. We ordered the tomato salad starter, which was a little bland in comparison to the other tomato starters we had been getting in the area (we love tomatoes). Several of the lettuce leaves were visibly wilted and mushy, so we had to eat around them. As my main, I ordered the rigatoni, which was tasty and light. I found the portion size to be sizeable. The service was friendly and attentive, and the view is gorgeous. I would come back here if I was in the area for a relaxed, casual meal.

Unfortunately they do close between 3pm-7pm between lunch and dinner services with the kitchen closing even earlier than 3pm so we were only able to take advantage of their wine menu, but we still really enjoyed our visit. We wanted a light, slightly more fruity white wine and ordered the Château Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc Sec 2022, and it was wonderful. Their outdoor space has a fantastic view of the vineyards and covered seating to protect from the sun or any light rain. Great find!

Wow! One of the best meals we had in the region!…read more Four of us had lunch together and three of the four are real foodies able to identify ingredients and methods of preparation. Things you need to know: 1. A reservation is required. They buy the food each day and buy only enough for the people who reserved tables. They speak English so don't hesitate to call for a reservation. 2. A deposit is required, but it will count towards your bill. 3. Wear flat shoes because the restaurant is on a steep cobblestone street that looks like an ankle breaker. 4. Don't be intimidated by the over-the-top wine list. Our group knows a fair amount about wine and found the list daunting. We asked for assistance and the owner graciously asked what we planned to order, then recommended a regional sparkling wine that was amazing (you could actually taste the Chardonnay grapes unlike most champagnes) and recommended a fabulous white wine to go with the meal. She told us that the winery that produced the white wine was now owned by a Texan! Her wine choices were first class and complimented all four meals beautifully. 5. Be on time. They only have a limited time allotted for lunch and dinner. 6. The menu is fixed price with two or three courses. We don't normally order dessert, but since it was included, we each selected a dessert. Le Tertre converted four non dessert consumers into huge fans. The rhubarb plate was perfect for someone who doesn't like sweets. It had a crisp flavor profile with zero cloying syrupy taste. The cheese plate was a surprise with hard-to-find selections. And of course, no one can ruin a chocolate pudding although La Tertre's chocolate pudding converted one of the chocolate haters at our table! 7. Plan at least two hours for your meal. Trust me, it will be worth it! While I appreciate the purist instinct that led one reviewer to object that this is not real Asian food, I disagree with the comments about the dishes with an Asian twist. I love the creativity of this chef and the way he balances the flavors. I had the duck breast (I always order duck to test a restaurant's range) and I thought it had a sharp flavor profile that blended the flavors well, the breast was succulent, the dish maintained the spirit of Asian food without being Asian food and added a delectable French twist. It was both unusual and delicious. How often can you say that? I agree that it was not traditional Asian food, but that was not the assignment. I love tasting the work of truly innovative chefs and our entire group was raving about their food by the end of the first course (they serve an amuse bouchée as well as the three courses) with one of our pickiest (and most knowledgeable)group members saying it was the best meal he'd had after a week of Michelin starred restaurants. Each of us will be back for another wonderful meal with thoughtfully paired wines.

This night was almost a disaster. I had made a reservation, or thought I had, but when we arrived…read morethat night we were told they didn't have us on the schedule. Thank god for international cell phone service, since I was able to pull up my email confirmation and see...I was confirmed for a waitlist because the restaurant was full. Thankfully, they offered to seat us at one of their two outside tables - apparently they thought it would be too chilly to have anyone sit there, but we were fine with it. From that point on, the meal was perfect. A couple of appetizers from the kitchen were different, but good. I don't recall what they were but we enjoyed them. The cheese was, of course, superb (this is France after all), and the fish entree was perfect. Unfortunately, I don't recall the sauce or preparation - this is why you should always write your reviews the next day - but everything was spot on. Service was very good, though perhaps a bit slower even for France standards. But, then again, I think there were only 2 people in the front of the house serving tables and they didn't plan on having anyone outside. Didn't matter - it was a beautiful night in a small French village and everything was perfect.

There were only four selections for each of the courses, so the care put into every plate was extremely apparent. For our starters, I tried the Salmon Ceviche, made of chunks of tender raw salmon in an acidic marinade, tossed with fennel and pickled red onions, which added a nice crunch. I also had the highly-recommended roasted Saint-Nectaire cheese topped with bacon--this was a warm, hearty, generous portion of decadent melted cheese served with croutons, and the bacon added a nice smokey, umami flavor! And then it was onto the mains. The salmon fillet was perfectly cooked and tender on the inside with crispy, seasoned skin on top. The fish was served over a risotto made with parmesan and beurre blanc sauce, but the rice turned out a bit on the mushy side for me. The Bavette steak served with bordelaise sauce and roasted new potatoes was definitely a hit--the thin steak was so juicy and tender, and the mini potatoes were soft and perfectly seasoned. Two amazing main dishes! And what's a meal without dessert? The classic tiramisu had a bitter flavor from the coffee and cocoa dusting on top, balanced off by the lightness of the mascarpone cheese and whipping cream. The dessert of strawberries with Chantilly cream was made of a cup of sliced strawberries in a light syrup, served with a dollop of whipped cream on the side, along with powder sugar and crushed nuts for decoration. The strawberries were a bit on the sour side (perhaps still early in the season) but paired deliciously with the airy whipped cream to make for a nice, light finish to the meal! For the 20 Euro price tag, this set menu was an absolute steal, and the service here was so quick and friendly too!

As you enter, you are greeted and asked if you would like a drink in the bar area (the room to the left). This room is dimly lit, reminiscent of a prohibition style bar, that resembles a library.
