Chef Eric and his wife catered for our group over several days. Excellent fine dining experience, using local and seasonal ingredients. Restaurant located just outside Castellane, seating available inside and out. Relaxed environment and great service. Great wine recommendations as well.

Authentic local restaurant from the region. We took lamb and 3-course menu. It exceeded our expectations. Everything was delicious. The best lamb we have ever eaten. Owners were very friendly and gave us tips for sightseeing. Prices are higher than average though. We found it worthwhile the food and the service.
