"In a former life, I was a food reviewer and a travel writer. Now, retired, I'm a traveler and a serious eater but the view of the Ardeche River is stunning at Bistrot Cayou. The food will make you forget about anything other than what's on your plate. From the chicken with crayfish to the pork stew in puff pastry, from the beef tartare to the warm-goat-cheese salad, we were swimmingly charmed. Who needs a river? Try to get the owner, who used to cook in Washington, D.C., to come by your table and let you know what's the specialite du jour."
