"RESTAURANT PROVENCE [IKOS DASSIA] – A SOMMELIER WHO IS A DELIGHT We recently stayed at the Ikos Odisia with our children and family. On 15 May 2024, we decided to take dinner at the Provence restaurant at their sister hotel (Dassia). Marketa at the Odisia kindly confirmed our reservations and happened to mention to the sommelier (Iro) at Provence that I had an interest in wine. Upon arrival Iro immediately introduced herself and engaged me in conversation to ascertain my tastes. She then left us to choose our dishes returning later with some suggestions. She gently steered me towards local wines, as I confessed to having little knowledge of Greek grapes. Her explanation of the tastes I could expect was perfectly described; and I must say her expertise in this area is profound. The white wine she chose (A PRIORI ΜΑΝΤΙΝΕΙΑ NOVUS WINERY 2023) was a perfect choice for a balmy summer evening. It was crisp and unoaked with delicious pear/peach undertones. It coped surprisingly well with my foie gras starter. She introduced me to a Greek red (Kanakaris Winery 10³ Merlot 2022) that complemented the lamb perfectly. It was light, but full of red fruits, that had a lasting aftertaste. I have spent more time in this review in relation to Iro simply because she made the evening for me. It is outstanding service like this that stands out and leaves you with fond memories. As you would expect from a top restaurant, the food was cooked and presented beautifully Service from all the staff was exemplary, and I am sorry I cannot remember the name of the lady who looked after us (and the grandchildren) so well. When you have a party of 12 and you leave feeling entirely satisfied, you know you have dined in a very fine restaurant that deserves recognition. CS"

"My partner and I stayed in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue for three nights at the end of a walking holiday and ate here on two out of three evenings! I had picked out L'Aparte from the Trip Advisor list of restaurants in the town as it looked interesting and likely to meet our needs - and it had the added advantage of only being minutes away from our hotel! Don't be put off by the rather unprepossessing exterior which from the road looks like some kind of cabin on the front of the building (just as in the photo). We arrived at 7.30pm the first night as we hadn't made a reservation so had no trouble in getting a table. Just as well because it soon started to fill up with locals (always a good sign). We were given a warm welcome by the proprietor who also spoke some English, although my partner speaks good French. However she was able to explain some of the dishes which helped us to make our choice. We chose two courses, my partner a starter and mains whilst I had mains and a dessert. This way we were also able to share our starter/dessert with each other! The first night my partner had the paté de campagne followed by the guinea-fowl in a pastry case. I had the home-made little ravioli stuffed with cepes in a lovely creamy sauce. Absolutely delicious! For dessert I had banofee (yum!). We shared half a bottle of red organic Luberon wine which was very good. The lady proprietor was very friendly and helpful and the service faultless. The average cost of two courses is approximately 24 euros. We had no hesitation of returning the following evening. On this occasion we asked to be inside the main restaurant as it was a bit colder. It was more like being in someone's front room in their home and quite charming and big enough for quite a few tables. Again the service was excellent and the restaurant soon filled up. This time I had the roast butternut starter which was very tasty and imaginative. For my main course I had duck with dauphin potatoes and a cepes sauce. My partner had the ravioli this time followed by a rum baba. Again we enjoyed some local red Luberon wine. Had we stayed in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue any longer (a very interesting town by the way) we would no doubt have returned to L'Aparte to try some more of their dishes! I have no hesitation of recommending this restaurant if you like good food at a reasonable price served by friendly people."
