La Bastide Saint Antoine - Jacques Chibois

When we planned our trip to France, my 82 year old mother had only one request: to return to the restaurant that she and my father had visited together 18 years ago. She always referred La Bastide Saint Antoine as the best meal of her...life. In truth, I was just a little nervous to go back could it possibly live up to her memories after all this time? The answer is a resounding yes. We decided to enjoy the Sunday tasting menu of 6 or so courses accompanied by wine. Each course was such a delight and, like other reviewers, I can't find fault. It is pricey, $155 Euro pp, but it's a special meal after all. And the setting is gorgeous the courtyard with all of its flowers, the impeccable servic...

Really disappointing . The service was faultless. Everything else was disappointing. We all had the menu decouverte . It was uninspiring and unimaginative apart from the final dessert which was beautifully presented and delicious. Amuse bouche cold and tasteless. Two mediocre starters that could have...been in any medium rate restaurant anywhere in the world. Then came two hot courses. First sea bass- ok but lacking flavour and served almost cold. Followed by veal that was so rubbery it was almost inedible. Wine not very chilled. bill was over 800 euros incl tip for 3- including one bottle of wine. Not worth even half that.

We wanted to find a Michelin-star restaurant in a charming environment with a nice terrace. This one ticked all the boxes. The food was great (we took the 5 course menu), the dishes beautifully presented. The garden and the view are really worth the visit....The service was a bit old school, not very engaged, and too formal, but fine. Some dishes took too long to reach us, so the service flow can be improved. The wine selection is great and the sommelier picked a very good bottle for us. In summary, the food was excellent so I highly recommend it.

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday. To our luck the weather was great. So we started our drinks in the garden and worked our way back inside to the restaurant to start our adventure of the 4 set menu prepared by the renowned chef.... What an amazing surprise of flavours . We early enjoyed every dish presented to us. The choice of wine with each dish was excellent.

Very average dinner served on the terrace because the hotel was all consumed by a corporate dinner being served in the main restaurant Skeleton staff serving and quite obvious the kitchen staff were also otherwise occupied. Most definitely not Michelin star quality. We will not...return
