Au Comptoir de Balthazar

Maybe we just went on an off day but honestly the food and experience was awful. Despite there being a pretty terrace over looking the church we were placed at a table on the street which was positioned on a slant, we sat askew for the duration of the meal. Limited menu (which doesn't bother me if the food is good) however we had a choice of two starters (cold courgette and mint soup) or mussels (served with the end pieces of a baguette) and for the mains, fish with risotto and fennel or cold tuna and mayonnaise wrapped in a slice of ham, served with the same risotto and fennel, zero imagination and looked very beige, not even a sprig of parsley to brighten up what was a very dull dinner. We took guests here as a thank you and we were embarrassed by what was served. I'm sorry for leaving a negative review as the other reviews are so positive (hence why we went), I believe the restaurant has changed hands since, so maybe the new owners need to listen to the feedback. On a positive note, the view of the church and the Rosé was good, if you don't mind having a bad back!

The prices at Au Comptoir de Balthazar can vary depending on the menu and the time of day, but it is considered to be a mid-priced restaurant.

Excellent meal on a pretty terrace with great service.. We had a really lovely meal at this restaurant. The terrace ia pretty in a lovely rustic style and the view of the church is nice. The waiter was excellent and looked after us very well, getting the balance of being discreet and 'there when we needed him' just right . The food was very good indeed, smallish portions, as mentioned on several other reviews, but we left having eaten well and in no way hungry. The mushroom fricassée was excellent, as was the fillet of merlu main course. My wife has a navarin and enjoyed it too. The cheese that I had to finish (served warm with blueberries and chives) was incredible. We had a really great meal and wish that we lived closer so we could eat here more often.

Le Bistrot du Coing

We booked the restaurant for a dinner one week in advance of the reservation date 28th Octobre since we were staying in the village that night and it was the only restaurant open that night in the village. We booked an early dinner time since the covid curfew stared at 9pm. We arrived at the restaurant to find it closed. There was no message about the closure on the restaurant door.Additionally no one called our phones to advise the closure and the restaurant also did not call and advise the only hotel in the village they were closed. Therefore we had no where to eat and no time to go to the nearest town 7km away due to the curfew starting at 9pm. There were several other hotel guests with the same problem and no food for the evening. I too work in the tourism sector and appreciate these are difficult times for us all However I find the complete lack of communication of the restaurant completely in acceptable and to date still have no even received an apology. I will not be recommending this restaurant again to any of my clients

Consistently excellent. For a restaurant to consistently perform across cuisine and service is a real challenge but le Bistro continues to deliver . Third year of visiting and had another excellent meal and great service . Their real value add over the years has been their “jus” ..delicious . Last night we also drank an excellent Bandol rose and an even better cote de Rhine rouge . A bientot

Chez Christine

C'est une pâtisserie qui propose quelques tables et permet de manger des plats simples mais très bien garnis et présentés (pizzas, omelettes, salades, etc…). Les desserts sont naturellement "maison" et on y est très bien accueilli. C'est vraiment l'idéal pour manger sur le pouce.

Fantastic patisserie!. Amazing patisserie! Try the „Louis-Philippe“ or the „tarte provencale“ with a very good cappucino - heaven! We even had the chocolate poire tarte and all of them were delicious! The places outside are nice to rest and relax. The lady at the counter was lovely and explaining all the tartes. Thank you!

Unequaled casual elegance!. The outdoor garden experience is beyond expectations with spectacular views of the Luberon valley from most tables. Our dinner (2 guests) there last evening was one of best meals we've ever experienced - we travel the world. Menu includes a selection of creative cocktails and fine wines. Fine dining is very important to us. We've never had a Michelin starred locale meet the quality of food and service we were treated to here. The evening was stellar.

Entered restaurant as a couple and ordered 2 glasses of wine and two appetizers (we always share etc & eat light) Server told us we had to order entree too or they wouldn’t serve us. We left I have been all over the world and never experienced such arrogance - even in France. We will never visit here again

Make Thym to go to this wonderful restaurant!!. We were seated inside amongst 20 other guests, and served by the owner, chef, waitress with great joy and pride. No, she did not speak much english, but this was no problem. The atmosphere and the warmth of the food made us all feel very much at home! In particular the soup greeted us and said "enjoy what is to come". The main course for me was chicken with carrots, sticky rice and a lovely salad. My husband had one of his favorites, eggplant lasagna. We were so happy. Our desserts were a deep dark chocolate mousse, contrasting with a frothy strawberry pudding. Perhaps the owner knew that we were coming to the close of a celebratory trip-I have finished a year of cancer treatments-and she sent over some cognac, which we used to toast each of our special doctors and supportive family and friends. It was so kind it brought tears to both of our eyes. Do not hesitate to reserve a table!!

Dinner. There were few restaurants open in the midweek offseason, we went here not expecting much- but the owners were gracious and warm, the pizza was good and surprisingly the French Fries were ethereal- light and puffy and amazing. This was friendly and homey.
