A beautiful setting in the Provence. An old colonial building transformed into a restaurant on the first floor with a big terrace and a lovely 'patio' on the front.
Entering the restaurant there's a 'boombox' with Ipod and pretty good music. You automatically are guided to take the stairs up. A lot of comtemporary art on the way up.
Staff, young, a lot and a lot part time to develop their Franch, their restaurant (waiting or cooking) skills. But above all knowledgeable, know what they do and speak all french and englisch and another language aside. We made a reservation in advance and we know why. We were 'early' about 20 and about 21 it was full.
The chef / owner himself explained the menu (in french, English as option), even noted down what you wanted and went to the next table. Very relaxed, short pants, leather necklace and most of all passionate about food ...
Cooking at high level with a most relaxing atmosphere. C'est geniale :-)
