Michel Trama - Puymirol

My wife and I have booked this restaurant for our jubilee and a rare child less evening and we have the choice largely based on the Michael Star reputation. we arrived as one of the early guests and took the tasting menu with wine arrangement and noticed that the chef already spoke with the guests (it was only 2 tables that we first took as a good sign. the interieur was nice and cozy and we thought we were for a special evening! the dishes started and looked great, but besides some not great things, that came to eat and we ate, but not even we were surprised, impressed, or otherwise remembered why we chose a Michael Star restaurant. the dishes were cooked and presented overall, but the aromen, textures, composition, justaposition etc. were all mediocre. during this uninspiring meal we also found that the cook spent most of its time with sitting and talking with an American couple, rarely vented into the kitchen. we have eaten in 20 Michelin-star restaurants, and that was far from being the best (a 1* in the Champagne region melting a canal when we were in and eating was overtaken terrible! . if you have such experience, you ask yourself what makes meelin more? surely it must be first line to eat and not just to be inside and cooking? to finish the experience, was icing on the cake that they overload us on the bill, not much, but we have pointed out and they did not remove it! our experience made us feel that it is a cash cow facility that rests on its earlier delightfulness, but has forgotten to eat good food. where is the passion? where is the joy? where does this insist on quality? such a shame and such a disappointment.

We thoroughly enjoyed the outstanding dinner, do not miss. Michel was extraordinary in all aspects of food preparation. Notable modern touches to classic french cuisine. also great staff

Spent a night here while touring France. Set in a beautiful hill top village with stunning views. Our room overlooked the pool and was very traditional. Shower was excellent. A little decanter of port with two small cakes in the room was a nice touch....We dined in the hotels restaurant. We chose the menu. It was nice but it didn't wow us. Service lacked warmth and after being served the wine no-one came to top up our glasses during the meal. Only on road parking.

A gastronomic experience in an authentic building with special design touch. A starred chef who proves his salt with traditional dishes. Nice wines. A touch of decadence in the the interior. Worth the trip. Best pigeon I ever had.

An incredible food experience, we enjoyed every element of the tasting menu, dining in the courtyard, I couldn't think of a nicer place to spend an afternoon.
