Set in a tiny rural hamlet near Villars, this little gem is an unusual and delightful find. Noted by Michelin’s Bib Gourmand, I opted for the four course ‘surprise’ menu for a birthday lunch while staying in the nearby Saint Saturnin-lès-Apt. Thomas Gallardo is an admirable and creative chef who manages to be both your server and sommelier as well as prepare innovative and delectable dishes. It started with an Amuse Bouche of tiny white asparagus served atop a light as air mousse dusted with Piment d’Espelette. Next came a truly outstanding Entrée of smoked trout on a bed of tiny cubes of pear and slices of radish in a creamy sauce, topped by a lace-like black ‘croustillon’ adorned with a sp...
I spend several months a year in France predominantly in the Luberon. I’m there now in fact. A few years ago we stumbled upon La Table de Pablo. We didn’t know what to expect. The owner is the chef,server,bar tender, he’s a one man show who serves in his childhood home. If you’ve ever cooked a meal for a group you know what preparation and timing it takes. He has 4 to 6 tables at lunch on Sundays which is when we tend to go. We’ve taken many friends and we’re going back this week. His food is refined, beautifully cooked and presented.

Then the best had to come. Enjoying a nice bottle of wine , the chef came to check twice to pressure us in finishing the bottle or take it back home with us in order to serve coffee. Never experienced this before and with all the pompous behaviour before i expected an outstanding servi...
Good food served by a somewhat stressed master of all trades. The chef seems to do front and back of house, which is probably a blessing at the moment from a management perspective but which leads to the customers having less time to engage with the chef/staff. The experience would be nicer if he wasn’t so rushed. The food was nice and the portions were not overwhelming. The wine selection was very good. Nice location too and very hygienic.
