There’s no doubt that the food in Provence is amazing. So each year, we like to award a restaurant for the best food of the trip. We have our favorites—Le Fournil in Bonnieux, les Remparts in Venasque, and la Bergerie in Maubec. But this year, le Petit Café wins for most delicious meal of the trip!
This restaurant has been one of our favorites for some time. For one thing, it is located in the enchanting village of Oppède-le-Vieux, where the evening ambience is captivating to say the least. Yet, the food is downright delicious! Here’s a sample of the menu, which changes weekly.
We had the tagliatelle with artichokes, tomatoes, ham, and pesto, as well as the beef with tomato, arugula, and Parmesan, accompanied with potatoes.
The biscuits with chocolat, caramel ice cream, and sea salt were a hit. And the tiramisu was perhaps the best ever!
We were really looking forward to seeing our majestic canine friend sitting on his spool. But apparently, he was confined to his room, as we caught sight of him from his window above.
Le Petit Café is a characterful little find that won’t disappoint, especially at night. Reservations recommended, as it books up fast.
À bientôt!
Oppède-le-Vieux is such a beautiful town! The first time my wife and I visited there, a photo shoot was taking place just across the street from Le Petit Café’s terrace. A lovely young model was photographed in front of the weathered walls and it was as charming as can be!
