Great value for money, very friendly and speak good english. Can also recommend their barbecue evening which is with live music. Altogether very friendly, good local french food and family friendly, they have baby chairs too. Will come back again!

Nice dinner in this famous local restaurant. Everything was perfect: service, food, drinks. We paid only 45 euros each, including drinks, which is a performance in a village where 3/4 of restaurants are far too overpriced.

It was a very very nice experience. The owner Pierre deserves a medal for his service and hospitality towards incoming tourist. Advising where to go near la garde fernet. The chef Roman made some excellent food, well deserving of a nice prize. Wish we could participate in the famous Friday grill evenings :) Very nice ! Thank you!

This is not a restaurant to miss. French cuisine at its best and run by a lovely friendly couple. The house wine, red white and rose is very good value (yes I did try pichets of all!) and very quaffable.

We had a nice lunch. Service was good and fast, which was great given the fact that we didn't have much time that day. My partner had a trout filet while I had the menu. Reasonable price, good food. All in all we enjoyed it.
