Le Saint Hubert

We came away hoping the couple who run this place succeed, because they put so much effort into it and clearly care. The dinner was impeccable and very reasonably priced, with a lovely view across the Luberon. It brought back memories of lunch at the Auberge du Soleil in Napa Valley, though that cost much more. We loved our two-day stay. The charming, comfortable room was laid out just right and opened onto the village square. The village itself has only a light touch of tourism, so there's still real local life here.

A lovely Sunday lunch in September, with a great view and a nice atmosphere. Service was good too. We tried the Marcedoine de bulot and Banon cheese to start, then gnocchi, chicken with crispy homemade fries, and tomato salad. Everything was tasty and well prepared. I'd recommend booking. Ask for a terrace table for the full view. If you'd rather stay out of the sun, the first row inside the restaurant also has a good view.

We've been here three times and they haven't disappointed us yet. The food is fresh, unusual, and creative, with vegetarian choices too. Great service, and a truly gourmet restaurant.

Book ahead and ask for the balcony, since it only has five or six tables. If you don't get one, the restaurant opens its big doors so you can still enjoy the landscaped view from inside. Bring mosquito repellent for the balcony. Luckily, our waiter offered me some so I could eat in peace. Everything felt local and fresh. My wife and I started with gin cocktails, which were crisp, flavorful, and nicely balanced. For starters, she had beetroot gazpacho with feta and I had beef tartare with radishes. The gazpacho was just right on a warm evening, and the tartare had a great texture and flavor. It was the best I've had, though I've only tried it in the United States. She ordered veal with polenta, and the bite I tried had delicious, light gravy and perfectly made polenta. I had trout with pickled cucumbers and seasoned rice. It was fresh, cooked just right, and a good portion. I like pickled vegetables, so that was a plus. For dessert, I had apricot parfait and she had peach tart with crème. The price was very fair for the amount, and especially the quality. Service was attentive throughout, and nobody looked down on us for not speaking French, even though we did our best.
