Went to restaurant with 8 of us with a reservation and was told that they had just broken their contract with The Fork.

Unfortunately, our dinner here did not go well. I had high hopes with the cozy atmosphere. However, the positives end there. It took over an hour to get bread. Our order didn’t make it to the kitchen, and we were told there was problem in the kitchen that evening. My husband’s main dish never arrived, my appetizer came after my main dish, and there were plenty of delays and miscommunications. The restaurant was apologetic and did the best they could to explain the situation, and make appropriate adjustments to our bill. I hope that whatever issues were happening in the kitchen last evening can be resolved as we had high hopes for the food we ordered (some of which never arrived).

Very pleasant experience and excellent food! We are so glad we didn't miss this place. The interior of the restaurant is very nice and the owners are friendly people who entertained us warmly and patiently. The starter was escargot and foie gras followed by confit and dessert and the food was really good! During the meal the owner and his friend chatted and shared their lives with us, everything was perfect that evening and we will definitely return to this restaurant when we get the chance!

The food, service etc may have been great, but I never got to experience them as the restaurant refused to honour my booking. They’d decided to make the whole place available to a tour party, but didn’t bother telling me until I arrived. First time that’s happened with a Fork booking.

Nous rencontrons des problèmes avec le système de réservation sur The Fork, qui valide malheureusement les réservations sans notre consentement. Nous regrettons que certains de nos avis aient été négativement affectés par cette situation. Compte tenu de ces problèmes, nous envisageons de ne plus utiliser ce système de réservation. En attendant, nous encourageons nos clients à faire leurs réservations par téléphone ou par email, ce qui s’est avéré plus efficace et fiable. Nous apprécions votre compréhension et votre patience alors que nous travaillons pour résoudre ce problème. Merci.

Great true Provençal food off the tourist route!!! The hostess was delightful. My wife ordered the coq au vin which was not on the menu, but was incredible. I had the Guinea fowl which had a delicate white sauce. We drank the local rose based on her recommendation. We finished with a dessert with a tiramisu base, vanilla ice cream, and a chocolate cake dome. Fantastic experience!!!

The foie gras, duck confit and duck magret were all first rate. Vegetables were good too, but served at room temperature unlike the properly hot duck. This is a modest, welcoming restaurant with superb mellow jazz music in the background. A nice selection of southwestern wines and beers. Fair value, informal, good to know.

Retro style,it is elegant but plain. We had 2 fixed menu for 18,90€ per person: delicious escargots, the salad Niçoise was good as well. We also liked the beef tartare, so tasty! Red wine and dessert. Nice and friendly staff. I would recommend it if you want to try tipical cousine.
