"My wife and I stopped here in mid September 2018 for a night while travelling south to our holiday destination. What a start to the holiday! We stayed in the hotel, but the restaurant is open to non residents. The restaurant is in a hotel which is a little way out of Mercuer (near Aubenas), up a hillside. It is not easy to find, ensure you know your directions before trying to get there. The meal was fantastic. After an interesting and very tasty amuse bouche, we went for the €39 menu, deux Plats, Fromage et Dessert. The lotte (monkfish) with Ravioles du Dauphiné was superb. I don't normally go for ravioli, but Ravioles du Dauphiné is a regional speciality consisting of two layers of pasta surrounding a filling of Comté or Emmental, cottage cheese, butter and parsley. With the firm and perfectly cooked monkfish it was a perfect combination. Second plat was chicken with écrevisses (crayfish), an interesting combination which was delicious. The cheeseboard was very extensive, as tends to be the case with good French restaurants; it held about 25 different cheeses, and a little less typically the portion size was generous. There were several desserts to choose from, my wife had the baked Alaska and I the chocolate sponge which had a rich chocolate sauce filling chocolate lovers delight! Lots of choices for wine by the glass (about €5 per glass), and extensive aperitif options. The hotel has plenty of private parking. To sum up, a visit to this lovely restaurant is well worth a detour or stopover on your trip. We certainly intend to visit again on future annual trips to France!"

"Short visit to Vals les Bains Finding a restaurant near the park Nearby parking Good location Welcome on the terrace, at the top Small aperitif with plate of regional charcuterie, nice! Hearty and succulent dishes, good meat And fantastic ravioli! I recommend! Parking: Moving forward we find this shaded parking lot just before the park. GOOD! Service: Dine in"

"Je n'irai pas par 4 chemins, ce bistrot est juste extraordinaire!Nous y sommes allés un mercredi soir et avons découvert par hasard qu'il était rarement ouvert en soirée (pensez à réserver!!). Le restaurant était complet au moment de notre venue mais devant notre envie de manger ici coûte que coûte, la patronne nous a proposé malgré tout une petite table où nous avons pu nous asseoir avec notre fille de 9 ans (qui ne prend pas beaucoup de place il est vrai ;-) ). Ils ont été très arrangeants, qu'ils en soient ici une nouvelle fois remerciés.La Cuisine (le C majuscule est mérité) est à tomber de PLAISIR !...Nous avons avec mon épouse craqué pour le menu à 25€ et avons découvert des plats dignes des grands chefs. Je vous recommande particulièrement la gratinée de ravioles à la tome de vache: JOUISSIF ! (et on a eu droit à la recette que nous allons nous empresser d'essayer de reproduire ;-) )Cette table c'est vraiment du grand art....Et pour proposer autant de bonheur dans l'assiette, ils ne sont que 3: Monsieur, Madame et leur fille, tous les trois des amours de gentillesse et de professionnalisme.L'endroit est d'autant plus touchant lorsque l'on apprend l'origine du nom du restaurant (faites vous raconter cette très belle histoire...).Une des plus belles expériences culinaires que nous ayons pu vivre.Exceptionnel, rien de moins."

"Restaurant that has everything to please, but has a few negative points to emphasize: The waitresses are too insistent, it’s a shame we lose the calm of a meal. The dishes are good and beautiful, but the quality ratio is not there. The map is a little small, we don't have too much choice. After all, it’s a gourmet restaurant, but it’s not completely in my opinion. So that’s why I take 1 star off. On the other hand, the setting is friendly, the well-maintained restaurant and the dishes are sought out, it still deserves the detour."

"When you live 600km from the place and you've been trying to book by phone for 3 days but no one picks up and you can't leave a message it becomes difficult to book... so you travel the same day but in outside of service hours the gate is closed so we try to arrive at 6:45 p.m. No customers have arrived yet. We feel that our early arrival is disturbing. We explain the difficulty of reserving by telephone since no one answers either during service hours or before or after for that matter. And suddenly the owner, as friendly as a prison door, sends us away with a “good evening, I’m delighted not to have found you a table” there were 2 of us, at 6:45 p.m.. We have already been there in the past. The pizzas are very good but the casual and contemptuous welcome from the owner leaves us with a bitter taste. Maybe we weren't local enough...and yet if she knew"
