Le Paradis du Pape

We fell in love with this place last year, and it continues to be every bit as good. We always go for lunch, and the value for money is outstanding. This is now the benchmark for all other restaurants we visit, and we always compare the quality of the food, the presentation and the price. Although the food may be just as good in the 2-Michelin starred restaurant we visited in Paris, when you think that the price there was ten times as much as Nathalie and Nicolas charge, we wondered why we would ever eat anywhere else! At weekends (especially in the summer) you will need to reserve a table - the gardens are fabulous and they do a lot of parties when the weather is good. Whenever we are in France, we eat there regularly and receive delightful recognition and warm kisses (on the cheeks) each time we arrive. With the tented "extension" which is fitted in early May, we are able to sit right by the carefully manicured gardens while the dog sleeps in the shade a few feet from us, on the grass. They even bring a bowl of water for him along with our carafe of shilled rose... life doesn't get much better than an afternoon at Le Paradis du Pape!!

What a fantastic discovery this restaurant is. We were told about it, or we could have driven by without being aware that this jewel is hidden behind the high hedges and the field of sunflowers next to the road. Monday to Friday their lunchtime fixed Menu du Jour is amazing, with excellent presentation and delicious food at a price which leaves one wondering how Natalie and Nicholas (the owners since 2013) can possibly make any profit. The gardens are beautiful, and such a relaxing environment where we always enjoy our after-lunch coffees. That's another thing - the lunch price even includes wine and coffee! The service is perfection: they always find an alternative if the fixed menu includes red meat (which we don't eat) and our waitress, Julianne, is charm itself. This restaurant is top of our list whenever we are in the area. Highly recommended, but don't tell everyone, or we won't be able to book a table in future!!

I have enjoyed lunch in Le Paradis du Pape three times in the last month and I would recommend this restaurant. The food is beautifully presented and the very good food offers good value for money. The set menu offers a variety of starter, main and dessert courses which should satisfy all diners.The views of the garden add another dimension to the experience, on two occasions we were almost within touching distance of the beautiful colourful flowers. On one occasion it was raining but this did not affect our dining experience. After a long relaxing, enjoyable lunch with wine and coffee included in the price we ventured into the wonderful gardens with fish pond, play area, vegetable garden and so many colourful flowers and foliage. This was a delightful way to end our lunch, walking through the gardens talking to friends and family.

We had a successful family lunch here on a sunny Sunday. The gardens are really impressive and contain lots of distraction for children. The food is good, although we should have been told when booking that the Carte on a Sunday starts at 28 Euros whereas, during the week, it's 14 Euros.My "average" for service reflects that, although in the doing-of it was perfectly good.
