L'Oustalet
In a wine-producing village, this picturesque stone house, whose terrace overlooks a small square shaded by ancient plane trees, is the quintessence of rural France. Supremely fresh ingredients that celebrate Provence are deftly assembled into flavoursome recipes: squid, wild garlic, morels and green peas; saddle of Alpilles lamb, green asparagus and smoked eel… The wine cellar is a treasure trove of surprises, including the wines by the glass. Delivers the goods every time!

Located in Gigondas, L'Oustalet offers modern refined cuisine. Reviews highlight high food quality, with standout dishes like pigeon, sweetbreads, and seafood, complemented by an extensive wine list and knowledgeable sommeliers. The ambiance is elegant, featuring a charming terrace with great views. Service is generally praised for being efficient and attentive, though some guests noted issues with meal pacing or minor service oversights. Value is mixed; while many appreciate the experience, others feel portions are too small or prices high relative to expectations for a starred restaurant. It remains a strong choice for those seeking culinary excellence, despite occasional inconsistencies in service and portion sizes.
Ideal for diners prioritizing culinary quality and ambiance, with prior portion preference confirmation advised.
