Best meal, so far, of our this trip to France ????????. Delicious veal and pork entrees with good portions and side dishes. The crème brûlée with pineapple and passion fruit on top was magnifique! The only hiccup was with our reservation, which was made through our hotel. The situation was handled well by the manager of the restaurant.

This was a brilliant spot. Cracking views. Excellent food, well prepared and decent service. They also have nice wine pairings by the glass with each dish which I enjoyed.

The starters and desserts were very good. The main (rotisserie) was average and definitely overpriced with 30€ per person. We felt slightly let down by the service. Not that they were not nice and trying but unfortunately need to improve on professionalism. We were asking for the menu, but we somehow misled to a la carte (Not a language barrier as my wife is a native French speaker). Also, the recommended wine was good, but not a perfect pairing.

DELICIOUS! Everything was fresh and delicious. Many menu choices, too. (Menu suggests wine for each dish too, which was nice given all the great wine here to choose from.) The artichoke bread to share was fantastic. Could easily be a meal. My husband and I could not finish it but definitely wanted to. The sea bass was one of the best dishes I've had after 2+ weeks in CdP. My husband had the lamb stew, and it was so flavorful and filling. We enjoyed great wine and a baba rhum for dessert. Prices are reasonable given the quality of the food. Sit outside if you can. The view is gorgeous. Excellent service, too. We'll definitely be back!

A very good restaurant. Food is very good, enjoying it oppostite to the valley view is fantastic. Local wines of Chateauneuf du Pape are already good, so a nice spot for food and wine.

We loved this place, the setting, food and service. The appetizers were our favorites, had the shrimp and ceviche. Both had a mix of different textures and flavors. And very fresh, good choice since the weather was very hot. Also their seasonal sangria was tasty. Our server was very friendly and had great wine suggestions.

This is a beautiful place right in the heart of town. Very relaxed with amazing views. The food was excellent! And we really enjoyed the service. This was recommended by our wine guide and it did not disappoint.
