Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Friendly and efficient waitress with a talented chef. The tartar of salmon is spectacular with a house mix of pesto. The steak was tasty and tender with the right amount of pepper sauce. I'm not typically fan of fries but these one where particularly nice! Gordes is small but surrounded by many hikes to digest."
"Lively place with beautiful view of the valley. Food was delicious and fairly priced. Staff very friendly. Ubtypicall for France, the food came fast and they have more than one toilet"
"meat was on point and excellent dessert. There could me more sauce. In general, the food was not outstanding but it is a good choice to go for lunch."
"Great food and service! The waiters were attentive and friendly. The inside of the restaurant is cosy and the French calm music in the background makes the experience even more enjoyable. We were four people and everything we ordered was amazing. Super tasty! The prices are reasonable and the lunch menu is great option.super recommended this place and the low reviews make no sense."
"Again a great experience Cycling through Gordes we decided to try out this restaurant again, this after our first great experience a couple of years ago Great location in the heart of the village. Apart from a cosy interior this venue also provides a large covered terrace at the front. Because of the nice weather we selected a table on the terrace Welcome and service was friendly....getting more rare these days! From the menu we selected a pork chop and a salmon tartare. The food was very tasteful and served at the right temperature. Definitely a venue we will return to and highly recommended to those after a good culinary experience at great value for money"
"Loved the food here we got the salmon and the burger 5 stars all the way"
"With our very limited understanding of French, we (thought) ordered the fish and beef steak from their lunch set menu, with apple pie and panna cotta as desserts. The steak (we believe it was more veal than beef) and its chips were really excellent. I would rate it as the best meal I had for the last one week we were in France. The fish was not bad and its rice was tasty. Unfortunately the desserts were off par. The apple pie was burned and the panna cotta was too hard. I was not sure they were part of the set menu and the dessert Al la cart would be actually better."
"Had a nice lunch at this location. The Greek salad was excellent. The salmon was slightly overcooked by a couple of minutes, but it was tasty. The salmon burger consisted of several strips of raw salmon where we expected a cooked salmon burger. Overall a good meal."
