We found this spot going up tiny, steep streets, and around a corner and up an unlikely flight of stairs. We opened the door to a wooden-beamed room with small tables, white table clothes and beautiful windows looking out into vineyards and olive groves. Amazing lunch (dinner for us), with local, spectacular wine, a pile (literally) of heavenly foie gras on slices of beef carpaccio and on delicate green peas, lovely (really lovely) service, a fantastic view.

The starters, however, were superb. An amazing dish of fresh juicy sweet miniature broad beans with molten foie gras. Sounds disgusting. Tasted sensational. And a very respectable grilled goats cheese salad. Both of these were served in portions sufficiently large to feed a very hungry person. So let's settle on 4/5 for this unpretentious restaurant. Not cheap by local standards, but if you stick to the starters there is some good food to be had here.
