Auberge du Vieux Puits

It is hard to describe how insanely great this restaurant is. It sits at the intersection of superb French Cooking and innovation across the appetisers, Mains, bread and desserts. This is simply one of the best restaurants in the world.

This was an amazing meal. There were four of us and some ordered a la carte and others took the 'prix fix' menu. Each dish was highly refined with very subtle taste. The truffled egg was amazing. Somehow they manage to talk the yolk out of a hard boiled egg and replace it with an extremely tasty truffle sauce. Amazing. The 'cuddlefish' was terrific. If you love high end food, this is your place. Priced accordingly...;).

everything is outstanding at l'Auberge du Vieux Puits. The food is always surprising, the wines are excellent including some excellent regional unexpensive bottles. Cheese is home-aged and deserves some stars by itself. On top of this - which is becoming an exception for Michelin 3-stars - the chef (Guy Goujeon) is cooking and welcomes you from the aperitif to the dessert, willing to share and explain! A really great place! Visualizza piatti

Everyone should experience this at least once in their lifetime. Outrageous quality and presentation of the grub. Clever, unusual and extraordinary.Outrageously delivered perfect service - with added humour. Outrageous wine list - encyclopaedic !Outrageously expensive .BUT if one considers the efforts of the chef and all supporting staff in delivering an amazing eating and drinking experience, it is worth it.I could go on , you just have to go and see for yourselves. reservations are imperative.

Our third visit for three nights and Giles Goujon produces food of the Gods. From ameuse geules to petite fours taste and presentations are sublime. Every course was sensational in every way and beautifully balanced. How does he do it? Perfection artistic and utterly devine each and every meal with a tome of wines to chose from. Claudio the Maitre' D was truly wonderful - knowledgeable with a marvellous personality and lots of experience shone - all the staff were very professional charming and helpful. I would give this amazing restaurant 4 Michelin Stars if I could!

Restaurants don't get and keep 3 Michelin stars for nothing. The overall experience was incredible with amazing food, attention to the smallest detail and a wonderful place to dine out. This is an experience of epic proportions - more than a meal - more than food. It is expensive but the overall cost has to be weighed against the superb level of service, the exquisite attention to the smallest detail and the high quality of the food. If you afford it go at least once - It is worth a very long trip. Fortunately I live quite close.They also added a candle for a birthday... Visualizza piatti

The joy that came with the anticipation to have lunch here bode well. 3 stars are worth a journey and indeed that is absolutely true with restaurant le vieux puits. The building and its premises are far from spectacular. Tucked away in the centre of Fontjoncouse we were welcomed to have a drink on the terrace wich is adjacent to the parking lot. The wine list is impressive but - oops - orangina and coke zero are not in the house. The dining room is large and the seating is great. The knife for the main dish sticks in the table (never saw that before). We took the lunch option and were positively surprised! Highlights? The glucose balloon filled with smoke that accompanied the oyster, the nic...

Our first time in a 3-star Michelin restaurant. On the way to the restaurant, our expectations made us afraid to be disappointed. It didn't happen. If perfection exists, this is a place where you get very close to it. Everything from the welcoming to the ending with coffee and Armagnac (both on the charming terrasse) was more than enjoyable. The service is impeccable, but the staff is relaxed, genuinely courteous and with the sense of humor. The great young sommelier Sylvain (Syl-vin :-)) recommended two fantastic wines from the region, very reasonably priced. We took the main menu dégustation. All dishes, including the amuse-bouche, are based on the combination of few ingredients, whose sav...

We have been luck enough to have eaten here several times over the years, and the standard is always unbelievable. To have retained three Michelin stars for 8 years speaks volumes for the chef and staff. Although a sophisticated establishment, service is not at all stuffy. On arrival we were shown straight to our table. The maitre d' recognised us from our last visit over four years previously so we were impressed. The restaurant has had a complete makeover since our last visit and is now more modern and "clean". They even have overhead lights that come on to illuminate your plate when you are served your next dish! The whole experience is theatre, but that would mean nothing if the food was...
