L'Oustalet sur Gigondas

We had a wonderful evening enjoying this beautiful cuisine themed around autumn and mushrooms, with a wine pairing that the sommelier delighted us with.

We had dinner on the terrace and it was magnificent! What more can I say about the superb smoked beef…

Ate a 3 hour lunch today at this one Michelin star restaurant in the heart of Gigondas. Excellent food, service and atmosphere! We had the fixed price lunch starting off with two amuse bouche, a fish with lemon and honey, and an eggplant over buffalo mozzarella. The entree was a tomato over a mix of vegetables and pine nuts with a bright citrusy taste. Mains were a smoked filet with a side of charred lettuce with a bit of sardines and mullet with an onion side. All the dishes were excellent and plates were licked clean! A cheese course with Comte and black olive tapenade and goat cheese with honey along with their excellent bread was next. Dessert was roasted figs with fig preserve and a fig ice cream covered with a rosemary touille cookie. Finished with espresso and Gigondas Marc liquor. All was accompanied by a red and a white Gigondas picked by the sommelier to match the food. Service was attentive but not hovering and the decor was tasteful and beautiful. The tomato entree for example was served in a hollowed rock the size and weight of a cannonball. Wished we lived close by to make this our regular haunt.

Exceptional! Very high-quality cuisine and personalized service. The advice on wines and food is perfect... it's been a long time since a Michelin-starred restaurant delighted me like this.

Absolutely fabulous moment, the food pairings are exceptional
