Dolium - Beaumes-de-Venise

The restaurant has changed hands frequently so it is a bit of a gamble. We were very pleasantly surprised with a good fixed price menu. My pigeon was excellent and the wine suggested was good since it was much lighter than the usual wine in...this area.

An excellent lunch in a buzzy restaurant. The chef cooks a small menu with flair and flavour and the service was good and friendly. Our dogs were welcome.

The welcome, service, food and wine were all excellent. Everything has had thought put into it from the decor to the amazing bread. The food is scrumptious and beautifully presented. Well done, we will be back whenever we are in the area.

I read the reviews before we booked and saw that the service had been criticised in the past, but assumed the problem would have been remedied. Sadly no. We sat for minutes with our dirty main course plates in front of us while staff...wandered around aimlessly. Getting the bill was almost impossible, we had to ask four times. So from a great start, and it has to be said very good food, the evening went downhill. Won't risk it again.

Large car park next to an ugly warehouse does not bode well but in this case outstanding. Well prized menus with surprisingly good food. The different foie gras variants was a huge positive surprise. Staff was very efficient but the interior was a...bit dull and the plastic seats on chairs very uncomfortable in the current heatwave. Keep up the good work; we really enjoyed the visit.
