We have visited the Cavaillon / Isle sur la Sorgue area several times in the past and (usually) had meals that were never less than really enjoyable. We chose this restaurant largely because of its good reviews here. Sadly we were disappointed as it fell some way short of our expectations and hopes.For most of our meal - on a Monday evening - we were the only customers. On arriving, we sat at a table in the window and read the menu. There were some words that we did not understand [eg what is a Tartare?]; the explanation was rapid and complex and we did not learn much from it - no concession to any lack of fluency in French Cuisine! The service from the owner (??) was just about acceptable b...
We ordered the bistronome menu (26 euro) the waitress wasn’t friendly and when we didn’t ordered any bottle of wine (as I recall close to 30 euro) or any glas of wine (priced 8-12 euro) the waitress got close the edge of rudeness.The food was so far below any other restaurant quality we visited in this area. We simply don’t understand such high TA ranking of this restaurant for us again full disconnect with TA ratings.Starter Melon with ham, Melon was not fully ripe and much too cold served. Main course, Rable de lapin (‘looked like a rabbit sausage”). The flavor was very very bad and vegetables and mashed potatoes cold and without any flavor. I was hungry that’s why I finished the dish…but...
We dine here regularly and have never been disappointed. We usually have 3 courses but most times I have 2 as I can't fit a dessert. We have tried a variety of dishes from fish to steaks and we are always satisfied.David's knowledge of wines of the region is vast and we usually take wine by the glass so we can experience some of his recommendations throughout the meal, by doing this we've made some interesting discoveries! I've eaten supions here a few times and never been ill.When you see supions a la persillade they are NOT crunchy, not in any restaurant so I disagree with a previous comment, and I have never been ill after eating here.Highly recommended!
It looked all very pleasant, sitting outside with a glass of wine and good company. We ordered the small squid (called supions) which are normally crisp with a taste of garlic. These were soft and a bit smelly, but it was just a starter. We were looking forward to the Japanese salad which looked very attractive when it hit the table: a combination of sashimi, salad and soja sauce. The taste was ok but not refined at all but edible. The problem started about two hours later.. I would not say it was food poisening but it was close.. For 48 hours it was reminded of this Japanese salad in Cavaillon and decided that next time i'll just have a sandwich.

We first ate here by chance last June while on a visit to friends living in the region and enjoyed it very much. This time we decided to take the friends to a post cinema meal. We enjoyed it as much as the first time and our friends were also favourably impressed. The mains were lamb shanks x 2, rognon du lapin (will leave the reader to work that one out), and the fish. We shared assiette gourmand for dessert. The local white wine from the Alpille was so enjoyable we visited the winery later in the week. David was the waiter. We could hear each other speak which is always a plus when eating out.
Ok, well I wasn't as impressed as it seems others are. This is a very nice small restaurant. They use real tablecloths and it has an elegant look. The food was very good but I was not impressed with the server. He was snobbish and not very friendly. He wasn't out and out rude but his lack of friendliness was off putting. We had lamb, white wine and 2 desserts. All was good but not grand.
Centrally located in Cavaillon, there is something for everyone on the menu. The staff was very knowledgeable and patiently answered questions regarding the various dishes and preparation. Well prepared, seasoned and presented dishes made for a lovely meal.
I can't say enough good about this restaurant. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. The melon and prosciutto, crime brûlée, escargot, scallops, black angus, mussels, and ravioli was all enjoyed by us and our friends. Would love to go again.

After a tiring drive, we were starving and found this place to eat at. We were happy with the service and they were very kind about the language barrier. The menu had great options. It was delicious!
Great speedy and friendly service. Excellent food. Loved the gambas, the crème brulée and the melon and prosciutto. Highly recommend it.
