"This restaurant is in a tiny picturesque village on the slopes of the Canigou above Arles sur Tech. It is behind a little grocery shop, and has a little vine covered terrace and a simple white dining room. There is a carte but the main...event is the Menu de Tradition, a five course blow-out with unlimited wine comprised more or less entirely of produce from the village. We had: air dried ham, saucisson and a pâté rich with black truffle; trout from the river; an omelette with eggs from the hens outside and cepes from the forest; a roast guineafowl with carrots and salad, and a divine creme caramel. And a robust VDP Cotes Catalanes that went well with all. All this served by Francoise with careful explanations of the sources of each, a beaming smile and an entirely justified pride in the quality of everything. You could not eat this every day but as an experience, for € this is just unforgettable. Arrive at noon on a fine day and grab one of the two tables on the front terrace,and go for a long walk around this beautiful village afterwards."
