Auberge le Luberon - Apt

Hidden pearl in the heart of the beautiful center of Apt. just across a small walking bridge, we enjoyed a fantastic lunch under the mesmerizing tree on the auberges outdoor place. Warmly recommended!

Amongst the limited choice in the Apt Auberge le Luberon stands out as having some sophistication in ambience (in a private and discrete garden terrace) and adherence to some classic French cooking. From the admitted limited but appealing set menu, we ate very well with classic and very generous prawns and scallops (mine - scrummy but only if you like the old school butter and garlic sauce)! and grilled lamb (her's - good lamby flavour done v simply), followed by a classic fig tart. Washed down with a bottle of the local rose, what's not to like? So if you find yourself in Apt, we found this to be the best of the options and a cut above the others around the main square - well worth the short walk across the pedestrian bridge.

Very expensive and very limited menu. Host did not speak English and hence he came across as quite unfriendly. We also had dietary requirements for which they couldn't accomodate us. In the end we did not eat here.

We had a very nice dinner, one of the better ones of our visit to Provence. The presentation was complimentary to the taste and the setting very pleasant...we ate outside in the courtyard, though the inside setting was very welcoming.

The only place where you can find to eat on Sunday in early AplilEverybody offers just beer or wine, but there is a real Provence cuisine at the time.Be careful to choose the right wine for the meals - there are plenty of them.
