We arrived with a young child at around nine pm without a reservation. It was immediately apparent that the manager didn 't want to install us on the terrace, and the only table which was offered to us was close to the parking lot the hasty excuse given to us was that the tables on the terrace were reserved . When I asked about one table in particular I was told that it had been specifically requested by customers who were to arrive shortly. This turned out not to be the case. In fact nobody else turned up at the restaurant at all. Meanwhile no excuses or apologies given. I should say that the practice of holding back better tables can be fairly common in France. But not to fabticate a story...
TThis place was recommended by our hosts. The best thing about the meal was the raspberry and citrus sorbet I had for desert. A companion had the mushrooms in puff pastry which was also very good. Otherwise, I did not enjoy my meal. The spinach and pork liver pate was metallic, the cabbage and sausage side dish and roasted chicken was OK at best. I didn't finish either course. The cheese course was good, and as I said, the sorbet was wonderful. The service for a Saturday night was slow and inattentive though there were only a few people there.

We used to love this place but it changed hands so we avoided it. However we spoke to a customer and they recommended it. We arrived early for a fixed price lunch. Shaded terrace. Good service, calm efficient. Roquefort salad, duck and pudding. Reasonable price. 5 min drive from Caromb, 40 min pretty walk if not too hot with views of Barroux. Interesting potteries 100 yards away. We will come back here.
This place is a must! Tucked away in the shadow of a castle, the ambiance is stunning, the owners waiters are so gracious, and the food is spectacular. I would challenge that this should be Michelin star rated! If you are in the area, do try to get here.
