Gajulea - Le Barroux

This is an outstanding local restaurant, of course with a serious top French Chef! The outside terrace at the back has plenty of room to provide social distancing and boasts stunning views. There is also an excellent cellar with a wide range of southern Rhone wines, some good value if you know what you are after. The lobster menu was delicious. The service good and all in all, a lovely evening.

The restaurant only opens on Friday and Saturday, with only one menu the lobster menu on offer, but it was well worth it. The terrace has spectacular views across the valley, the staff are helpful and the food is divine. Both lobster courses were beautifully presented and full of flavour. Instead of offering us a wine list, we were invited to choose a wine from the well stocked cellar an unusual but interesting experience. We were so impressed that we returned later in the week to eat at the bistro Les Entrepots, which is part of the same business.

My husband and I enjoyed an evening in July on the balcony at Gajulea however we were not prepared for the cool breeze that developed as the evening went on. The food was well presented and very French until the dessert course. Unfortunately, as the temperature dropped, the courses also got colder ending with sorbet and then an ice-cream dessert. As visitors to France, we were looking forward to a dessert more typical of French cuisine.

Restaurant décoré avec goût. La daube de taureau à la provençale était très bonne. Les restaurateurs sont serviables et à l’écoute de nos besoins.

La vue, le service, et surtout la cuisine du chef! Merci Michel on se régale à chaque fois !
