Generous salads ..Italienne can be recommended... to specials. I had an Assiete Montagne, hams, saussison, salad really tasty raclette type potato, a little onion and melted cheese. A real winter warmer eaten outside under a deep blue January sky. One cafe gourmand to finish. Together with a demi of rose...48Euros. A real favourite of ours and I even appreciate J-P's humour...and of course Sophie's cooking and hospitality.

The small cooking space means that it 's heavily biased towards excellent salads with much of the produce home made by Sophie. Other typical dishes available..steak tartares, farcies so meals that are not elaborate or take a lot of cooking on the day but are presented beautifully. 3 Salad Italiennes..a good quantitiy of excellent Parma/Melon Mozzarella/Tomatoes marinated vegetable mixed salad..16 Euros. Most dishes in the range 14-16 Euros which is OK but it 's the care with presentation and enthusiasm for her home cooking which stands out. Excellent home made tartes as well as ices.

We tried the daily special omelet with mushrooms. It was very good, served with bread. There were so many mushrooms, we pushed half to the side! The jug of house wine was great, and not expensive.

We were there (chez Kiki) listening to the local band and taking a Sunday lunch apero, when the muchies kicked in. We staggered down the hill in full sun and wobbled into Salad in . We were cheerfully received and installed under a parasol with a pichet of Cote de Rhone rouge in an ice bucket (red wine above 17 degrees Celsius is out of the question and this was understood by the proprietors. Things were looking up! We both went for the plat du jour ; Magret de Canard, sauce au poivre, gratin d 'aubergine, pomme de terre au four et salade a cote. The potato was over salted, but hey the charming chef may well have been in love so all is forgiven. The gratin was also over salted and dry, shame because done well it can be magnificent; but hey if she is in love I 'll go with it! The duck breast for me was perfect in its state of doneness ie very pink (the blonde disagreed but got tucked in anyway) and the sauce au poivre was so so; I like a good kick of whole green peppercorns in a sauce of this nature which a duck breast, with its skin on, can easily be a foil to. The side salads of frisee and other mixed dressed leaves was refreshing but my palate was probably salted out, so I couldn 't judge its seasoning. I had a coffee and paid the bill whilst the blonde went to the museum next door to look at some patchwork artwork. The total was €36.50 which I felt was good value. Especially since we had real linen napkins and table cloth a thing lacking if far more pretentious joints. I left €40 and asked for some business cards to place in my villa which I let to holiday makers that they might profit of their services. The waiter handed over 2 cards and when asked if a few more could be had, another two were reluctantly doled out! strange since I was offering free publicity!
