"It’s not being unfair to say Saint-Pantaleon is a pretty drowsy little town by the standards of its neighbours in the Luberon, lacking the visual splendour of places like nearby Bonnieux, Goult or Gordes. But what it does have is have is the Bistrot des Roques – which, you may have gathered, is the only restaurant in town – and that makes it a veritable Provencal jewel.The bistro was refurbished and re-opened by new owners in March this year (2016) and inside, it is fresh and colourful. The ambience is modern but cosy with seating for about 25. That works well in colder months, but the real drawcard is the large outside terrace overlooking a quiet street (everything is quiet in Saint-Pat!) that in summer allows for the kind of outdoor dining in warmth and shade for which everyone visits this part of France.We were there in late November for lunch, so the terrace was closed and we sat indoors with a few other couples including a group of hungry-looking tradesman – a good sign for anyone who wants to eat well and like the locals.The menus are on blackboards indicating continuous change rather than stagnantation and our eyes lit upon the fixed-price, three-course affair namely because of the low price – just 15 euros for starter, main and dessert with two choices for the first two courses and about half a dozen for the last. How good could it be for such a low price? We couldn’t wait to find out, but also noted there was a separate a la carte board with choices including steak for 19 euros and red mullet fillets on risotto for 15 euros.It turned out the food was hearty and unpretentious but generally delicious with big servings that belied the low price. Our entrees - that’s a starter for American readers - were a lentil salad with lardons (nicely dressed and seasoned, a bit homogenous but relieved with refreshing mache leaves) and a “Bouchees au Poulet Champignons” which turned out to be a crispy pastry casing filled with braised chicken and real mushrooms for a powerfully fungal flavour. Think of an old fashioned vol-au-vent but without the horrible white sauce and you’re getting close.Main courses were a poulet chasseur which was a rib-warming casserole of chicken on the bone with potato, mushroom and (we think) Jerusalem artichoke pieces in a rich sauce, then there was the calamari in tomato on risotto: somewhat runny in the rice department but tasting intensely of real tomato and fishy (cephalopody?) flavours.Anybody except, it seemed, our neighbouring table of electricians or plumbers would be getting seriously full by now but there was still dessert to come and the silky crème brulee with its crispy toffee topping didn’t disappoint, nor did the unctuous slice of molleux au chocolat. There is a wine list, but a large glass or two of the house red and white (at 2.50 euro/per!) did the trick on this occasion.In the evening, there’s a three course dinner for a still not-unreasonable 26 euros, the higher price being justified by more premium ingredients and (heaven help us!) presumably more generous servings. Like the lunch menu, it is posted on the bistro’s Facebook page.The upshot is food well above standard bistro fare but not attempting to rewrite the gastronomic record books. Together with cheerful and attentive service from Madame, partnering Monsieur who works the stove in the open kitchen, le Bistrot des Roques is satisfying, charming and a refreshing change from some of the overpriced and underwhelming dining available elsewhere. Just be sure to bring your eating boots."

We had the dinner menu at 27eu and a very nice local red wine for only 17eu. Food was delicious, wine excellent and the service was very friendly. It's quite out of the way in a sleepy little French hamlet, but well worth seeking out if you have a car.

We went to this restaurant with 5 adults on a warm September evening. The terrace is very cosy but although completely full a bit too quite for us. The menu was 26€ which seemed a very good price but not all of us liked fully what they had. Probably better to go here for lunch rather than for dinner.
Manon
15 euro lunch - three courses - is a great value. Prix fixe dinner is a higher price but is also a very good value. Terrace dining in summer and indoor dining in colder weather. Saint Pantaleon is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth it. Easy to make a stop here while visiting Gordes, Roussillon or Goult.
Philippe

We came here last year for a charming but not special lunch but enjoyed it for the setting. So were were surprised to find that it is now a really top rate place for dinner. Okay, so with one server, we had quite a wait to put our orders in but they made sure we had our drinks and the time passed by quickly. The food was absolutely stunning - some of the best sea bass ever, cooked to perfection with finely judged flavours. Homemade ice creams - coffee and honey and lavender were delicious. Charming, good value, on a delightful terrace - what more could you want?

As semi-residents in the area, we had heard good reports of this "new" place for lunch. Finding the Café de la Poste as chaotic and crowded as ever in season, we were keen to try this place. Discovering to our horror that last orders for lunch is at 1.30 and we were sent away, we were not put off and returned a couple of days later. The charming terrace was not crowded in mid September, the choice, although limited, was fine (very good fish course) and the service excellent. Not a "gastro" experience, but perfectly adequate for lunch and excellent value! Will return in the spring and try it for dinner.

We read about this restaurant on Trip Advisor and 6 of us 4 adults a small child and a baby turned up for lunch - only to find it was pretty much full, save for a table for 6! We dined off the €15, 3 course menu which was just lovely and much cheaper than elsewhere in the region. It had 2 choices for the starter and main and a large variety of desserts. We asked what they had for my 22 month old granddaughter and they said they could make her a burger. What turned up was beautiful freshly made, steak hache with fried potatoes flavoured with rosemary and garlic. My granddaughter loved it. The service was delightful and I would highly recommend this place.

We stumbled upon this place by accident and were thrilled to find a fixed price lunch that is both economic and tasty. It started with a creative take on tricolore salad (fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, rocket salad, pesto), then moved on to a faux filet with pepper sauce and sautéed potatoes, then any dessert one wants. The list was long: many, many ice cream and sorbet flavours and various homemade desserts (creme caramel, chocolate cake, etc.). The house wine was excellent. Apparently, the white comes from the Cave de Lumieres just down the road. (We later visited the winery which offers tastings). And our boys - 9 and 11 - ate most of their food, always a good sign and not often the case.
