The guest table

Putting your feet up, the true luxury of a holiday.

After a day canoeing down the Ardèche or strolling through the markets, you don't always feel like getting back in the car to look for a restaurant.

That's why we spend four evenings a week behind the stove.

On the plate: Local, as much as possible!

Our cuisine is like our home: simple and unpretentious. We don't pretend to be Michelin-starred chefs. Our ambition is simply to delight you with the best that the Ardèche region has to offer.

The menus change according to the seasons and what we find at our neighboring producers:

• Vegetables that have seen the sun.

• Cured meats and cheeses with character.

• Slow-cooked or roasted dishes that make you feel good.

The spirit of the evening:

The communal table is the moment when we take a break.

We settle down (on the terrace as soon as possible), share a good meal, exchange some tips for the next day's visits, and enjoy the mild evening.

If you have any special dietary requirements, please let us know beforehand: we know how to adapt with a smile.

In practice:

• When? 4 evenings a week by reservation: Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

• What? Aperitif, starter, main course, cheese, dessert and coffee, drinks included.

Who is it for? For those who love good home cooking and shared moments.
