l'alandier sur Cliousclat

30/12/2025: Google really should offer a "5-star plus" rating for this type of establishment. We had already visited several times a few years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Since then, the restaurant has been taken over by a couple who have elevated the cuisine by drawing inspiration from their travels, enhancing each dish with spices from around the world. But even before the food, it's the welcome that makes all the difference. It's rare these days for a restaurant to readily accept a last-minute reservation when you call at 11:00 AM explaining that you have a two-and-a-half-hour drive. And yet, with a genuine smile over the phone, they simply replied, "No problem, we'll be waiting for you." We finally arrived a little after 1:30 PM. The welcome was remarkable: no stress, no comments about the late hour, no pressure related to the kitchen potentially closing soon. Just genuine kindness and impeccable service. Then came the discovery of this new menu, particularly the €50 tasting menu, worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant. This set menu includes an amuse-bouche, two mini-starters, a main course, and mini-desserts. Each course of the meal was a delight for the eyes, the aromas, and the flavors: truly flawless. We also discovered some excellent local wines, served with great kindness and constant attention. The service was warm, efficient, and genuinely professional. There's no doubt that everything is homemade and prepared with fresh ingredients. We even watched the chef preparing the scallops with our own eyes. In addition to the excellent cuisine, the restaurant is located in an absolutely stunning village. A charming setting, perfect for a pleasant stroll after the meal, to prolong the enjoyment a little longer. The only complaint we could make... is that this restaurant is unfortunately too far from our home to enjoy it more often! Thank you again for your warm welcome, your delicious food, and your excellent service; it was a real pleasure.
