Ou Ravi Prouvençau

First course fine. Rabbit course tough, but tasty. Unfortunately, dessert so frozen hard that when I tried to put my fork it in, it basically jumped out of the plate and splashed orange purée all over my top. When the owner came to pick it up, I explained (truly we did not complain) about the dessert temperature and its outcome. Orange purée all over my shirt. But the owner’s response? The owner basically threw us out of the restaurant. She said “You can leave. Go back to your hotel.”

There are many good choices in Maussane-les-Alpilles and the surrounding towns but I was eager to try a traditional artichoke preparation so that broke the tie. The restaurant features a sheltered garden courtyard and an indoor dining room and I enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine. The artichoke “barigoule” was exceptional with the small pieces of ham adding flavor to the broth (which went well with the crusty bread) and the artichoke was perfectly simmered. Main course was rabbit in mustard sauce with herbs and a delicious side of cheesy pasta (no I am not calling it macaroni and cheese since it has no similarity to the American version). I skipped dessert in favor of a nearby creperie, so can’t review the whole experience but overall was very pleased with the meal, setting, and service. Highly recommended !

We wanted to eat at a spot devoted to traditional Provençal cooking. Ou Ravi Provençau met and exceeded our expectations. Plus the price fixe menu offered incredible value. We chose the artichoke dish and vegetable tart to start, followed by beef daube and scallops St. Jacques. After an amazing cheese course, dessert was the nougat glacé and coffee/chocolate biscuit (cake). Add a bottle of delicious local wine and coffee or tea, all for under 60 euros per person, and we felt we had won the lottery. We wish we had more time left in Provence so we could return. We can't speak highly enough of the meal and the very attentive staff who kindly put up with my inadequate French speaking skills. As if all that wasn't enough, the pretty courtyard is a wonderful spot to have dinner after a day of exploring the local sights.

My husband and I went to this restaurant while we were visiting Provence for 10 days in September. We liked it so much the first time that we went back a second time. I had the Daube both times and it was delicious. My husband had the rabbit which was very good .On our second visit my husband decided to try the lamb tripe. He was a little unsure as he hadn't eaten tripe since he was a child, but our waitress assured him if he didn't like it, she would bring him something else. There was no need as it was excellentWe ate in garden which was very pretty and pleasant. The staff was attentive and friendly and they spoke good English. We thought that 55€ for a four course meal that included a bottle of wine and coffee was a very good value.

What a find!! Was taken there by the in-laws whilst we were visiting. It's very local food orientated as one would expect as well as very traditional.The food was delicious, I went for the anchovies and what a change from the salty fishes that are normally served. They were plump fillets with a roast pepper sauce. For the main I chose the rack of lamb (2 people must order this), it was quite tasty and nicely cooked. It also wasn't fatty which is good. It was served along side roast potatoes and roasted garlic and onions.As this restaurant isn't far from the in-laws, this will definitely be visited again!!
