La Cantine Gourmande

During a recent trip to the Provence area of southern France, my husband and I had the chance to eat at a restaurant called La Cantine in the village of Lambesc. It was clean, well decorated, and the service was excellent. But the reason we drove back to it a second time was the food. We were with local people on both visits, and though I am not a French cuisine expert myself, our companions are, and they had nothing but praise for the authenticity and quality of the food. I just know it was delicious enough to go back for! We look forward to dining there again on our next trip.

Unsophisticated menu. The food needs finesse. For example, the Corsican charcuterie board meats should have been sliced thinly (cured meat is dry and quite tough thick slices and chunks require the strongest of teeth so would have also benefited from accompaniments such as cucumber and tomatoes to offer moisture and another texture). The starters should perhaps not be so obviously pre prepared (chilled items in round shapes placed in a centre of plates). Friendly service. Accommodating for families. Nice big car park giving easy access.

My partner and I had a great meal here while staying in this beautiful town. Lovely French food, great local wine recommendation and very relaxed environment. Great to feel so welcome and have superb service despite our very limited command of the French language. Would highly recommend.

Very nice lunch and local wine. Many different choices of specials of the day. I ordered fish which I regret. My friends had chicken which was delicious. Lots of locals. Don't be in a hurry and you pay at the bar.

This was a good meal, well prepared from fresh ingredients. It is not sort sophisticated but more then good enough to return to in the future. And the value for money fit the gourmandise menu was excellent.
