I have a soft spot for Apt. In the summer, it's buzzing with of tourists, but in the winter, it's a sleepy country town that only comes alive on a Saturday morning, when the market takes over the whole town. The N100 runs through it, en route from Avignon to Forcalquier, and parallels the river Calavon, which also pass through the town. On one side of the Calavon, the buildings are practical, commercial, almost industrial. On the other side, faded old villas snooze in the winter sun, shutters closed against the cold. This was where we headed today - the Auberge le Luberon, a traditional hotel and restaurant, which looks across the Calavon to the business district of Apt.We chose the Auberge...
L'Auberge du Luberon fait partie de ces établissements dont le caractère suranné incite souvent à passer notre chemin... Pourtant, ce restaurant provençal mérite que l'on s'y arrête. Cadre un peu désuet mais confortable et accueillant (avec de très beaux plats en faïence d'Apt dans le lobby), avec une terrasse très agréable (fontaine, végétation abondante, vastes parasols).Les plats proposés ne jouent certes pas la carte d'une cuisine branchée et innovante, mais ils sont bons et faits maison : millefeuille de légumes confits et chèvre du Luberon, foie gras poêlé et melon caramélisé, souris d' Agneau confite avec un jus réduit aux aromates et aux épices...Une carte des vins simple qui privilé...
Amongst the limited choice in the Apt Auberge le Luberon stands out as having some sophistication in ambience (in a private and discrete garden terrace) and adherence to some classic French cooking. From the admitted limited but appealing set menu, we ate very well with classic and very generous prawns and scallops (mine - scrummy but only if you like the old school butter and garlic sauce)! and grilled lamb (her's - good lamby flavour done v simply), followed by a classic fig tart. Washed down with a bottle of the local rose, what's not to like? So if you find yourself in Apt, we found this to be the best of the options and a cut above the others around the main square - well worth the shor...

We had a very nice dinner, one of the better ones of our visit to Provence. The presentation was complimentary to the taste and the setting very pleasant...we ate outside in the courtyard, though the inside setting was very welcoming.
The only place where you can find to eat on Sunday in early AplilEverybody offers just beer or wine, but there is a real Provence cuisine at the time.Be careful to choose the right wine for the meals - there are plenty of them.
Very expensive and very limited menu. Host did not speak English and hence he came across as quite unfriendly. We also had dietary requirements for which they couldn't accomodate us. In the end we did not eat here.
Hidden pearl in the heart of the beautiful center of Apt. just across a small walking bridge, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch under the mesmerizing tree on the auberges outdoor place. Warmly recommended!

Skønt hotel næsten midt i Apt. Ud af døren over en lille bro og så er man i centrum af Apt. Dejligt værelse men det bedste er restauranten, hvor man sidder i lukket gårdhave. Rigtig Provence stemning
excellent selection of tapas with a beautiful wine. a beautiful alternative for a more traditional restaurant. very friendly staff also! a all-round worth!
