café du progrès sur Menerbes

21/10/2024: This is a very small, fine-dining establishment. Very elegant food in an intimate space of 2 cave-like rooms typical of the village and the Luberon. The food is original, yet based on classic Provencal dishes and flavours. Superbly prepared and presented and almost always distinctly flavoured, esp the amuses bouches. Always a choice of meats and seafood. A very fine, if small, wine selection of beautiful Luberon and Rhone Valley wines. The service is almost entirely provided by one of the owners, a charming and helpful woman (who also speaks English well). The chef comes around at the end of the evening to greet his guests. Very personable, and very much of its place: a Ménerbes village gem, which frankly, is rather less known than it should be, but that's also a blessing. Down a small side street, and all seating is indoors (but air-conditioned) and cosy! Very highly recommended.

19/10/2024: Refined cuisine, warm atmosphere, perfect welcome from both the chef and his wife, we will return very quickly in the spring. Not to be missed if you are in the area
