We are talking about places where you can go without “eating your budget”, so not cheap but reasonable for what you have. Second, there is a “dress code” and you can be “at your best”. Third, they are in general close from your house here. Last, please secure proper booking with us. If you don’t, it can become unpleasant.
We start just on the other side of the street :” L’Estellan”. It is just perfect in many respects and so you are certain to spend a nice moment. The only thing is that their sense of marketing makes they just have much too many candidates ! Food is excellent and the young nicely dressed ladies are … I dont find the proper word.
A little bit further on the hill, you have Mas Tourteron. It is one of the most traditional top addresses in Gordes. But sometimes, your reputation makes you to be to sure. Anyway, we have in general good feed-backs and the garden is exceptional. It is less than I kilometer from here.
But for me the two best in this category are probably
- La Bartavelle in Goult. There are no adjectives to describe. It is a small place and you should book well lin advance, maybe to get there early, to walk a bit in the village to the castle and to impregnate yourselves of a very special situation.
- Le Café Fleurs in L’Isle-sur-la Sorgue. This one has superb food, almost “Grande Cuisine”, at reasonable prices. It is just along the river in the middle of town. Try top be seaed on one of the two terraces which are small but gorgeous.
Also :
- Le Fournil in Bonnieux. We don’t know by ourselves very well. People who get there come back with an excellent souvenir. Food is known as being excellent.
- Le Vieux Bistrot in Cabrières d’Avignon. Also very good. The terrace is very peaceful.
- Maison Gouin in Coustellet. A house for “people who know”! You select your wine direct in the cellar. They also have a gourmet food store. It is casual but wealthy people of the area like to be treated without excessive sophistication. So it is a kind of secret address.
