Au relais provencal - Bagnols-en-Forêt

Liked everything, disliked nothing. I think I've said it all in the hotel review but quality cooking, flawless service and very, very reasonable prices.

This restaurant provides perfect alfresco dining but you need to book if you hope to get the best views of the hills. The service is friendly, helpful and two of the waitresses speak good English. The pasta dishes and crepes were very nice.

Run by the owners of previously Bec Fin at Saint Paul en Foret which we found in Trip and took us to go there. And we were nt disappointed. First the setting is very nice. A nice view from the restaurant, Inside and outside areas, table well dressed, pleasant decoration. The people running the place, both on the hotel and restaurant, although different, are very nice and friendly. Now as to the meal, wow ! This is real cuisine with fresh and very good ingrédients. Nothing sophisticated but well cooked and nice portions. The menu at around 27 euros (not sure of exact price but around) was very good and great value for money. At started one of us had the spécialité du chef: sardines: beautiful, nicely prepared. I had the jambon with tomato and aubergines: very fresh and great. Another had the shrimp and salmon: again very nice, well served and prepared. As main dish, the dish f the day was lamb fillet: amazing quality, so tender and well prepared, so rare ! Others had the fish, cooked at perfection. There were a nice selection of wines, ours was beautiful.Definitively go there: it is sadly rare to see people loving their job and producing such a quality of meal.
