Drôme

A beautiful and strong village house, recently classified as a country bistro in the Provençal Drôme, which offers a strong stop, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. A well-renovated house that welcomes you for a stay in simple and comfortable rooms or a gourmet table which naturally places homage to local products - Sisteron lamb, little spelt, goat cheese, cured… - for traditional cuisine served in the shady park or inside the walls decorated by the works of local artists. A beautiful stop off the beaten trails for Le Petit Smart.

With Patricia in the kitchen and Laurent in the dining room, Valence has its address as an organic slow food, locavoreand yet gastronomic. We like the vintage neo-bistro atmosphere of this Apron, the warmth and kindness of Laurent as well as Patricia's talent to sublimate vegetables and other carefully selected ingredients. Every day: three starters, two main courses and several desserts. The dishes are very beautiful and really tasty as with these carrots roasted on carrot cream with candied kumquat, fresh herbs, olive oil and roasted hazelnuts, then this label red salmon lacquered with tariyaki sauce, Thai rice, sesame seeds. Wi-fi and newspapers. It is better to book.

The small place of the nearby University with that of the Clerks and houses this wise or less wise bistro, depending on the evenings… You can choose between a small terrace and a tasteful design room, with small tables that are brought together for many guests. The chef's kitchen is appetizing, the plates are elegant and generous, and the fish are always prepared. On the day of our visit, fresh tuna tartare with Asian scents is an exemplary freshness and the Iberian pig square served rosé with its creed juice is just falling. We love the card, varied without being abyssal, and we will gladly be tempted by a great salad on summer days or a delicious duck of duck in the evening. In dessert, you will be greeted by this chocolate base and its ball of sorbet with raspberry and fresh fruit, or homemade caramel. Everything is quality, food products and service. Nice control of the cooking. Good address with a selection of wines with a very interesting glass and a friendly welcome.
