Le Papet - Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres

Too much to wait! it was toooo long. there weren't many guests, but still it took time to get old for eating. also waiter service not great.

Finally we could eat again and it was nice to eat here on the terrace in the evening sun. beautiful menu with typical French ingredients, we enjoyed it very much.

I ordered the fish of the day, the plate was beautifully decorated and the sauces were good. the star of the teller. tested like a piece of fish that remained rainy a week on the food store before being picked up to cook. it did not taste fresh or good. the fish flew off like dried meat pieces (which usually occur with old fish meat) even a little stank. the rest of the food was super good.

We ate here a few weeks ago whilst staying at the magnificent Maison Felisa in the same village. The food was very nice, my only complaint is that I asked for my pork well done, and it came so rare it almost walked off the...plate! Now I eat my beef rare but not pork, and not when I'd asked for it well done! (note I didn't complain, I just ate the edges and left the centre so I can't comment if the restaurant would have replaced it etc). But the starter, dessert and my husband's main course were excellent. Very reasonable prices and all freshly cooked. Service was fine I was just a little unimpressed when the waitress walked off halfway through our order (literally as I was speaking) to serve someone else their dinner! But they were friendly, didn't kick us out when we stayed late ish. I'd happily go back as it's the only restaurant in the village! But I wouldn't make a special trip here to eat.

I had not been back to Le Papet for several years; my husband's father lived in Pont St. Esprit, about 20 miles north. Life experiences recently took us back to Saint Laurent des Arbres, and we were delighted to visit Le Papet again for dinner. It is a stunning restaurant. The food not only is excellent, but also is served with beautiful touches and presentation. Small violet flowers graced the fois gras, and the main dishes had artistic sauce garnishes on the plates. The scallops were perfectly cooked, and my guests' meals of pork were delectable. This is an A+ place to dine.
