We've eaten dinner at Le Fournil several times, and it's one of my favorites. We've always had an excellent meal and experience. The setting is unique-- an old boulangerie built into the rock hillside of the village. The decor, however, is sleek and modern and the restaurant has a somewhat hip, energetic feel. In the warmer weather, you can dine on the attractive terrace by the fountain. Lunch is served a couple days a week.

The dinner menu changes frequently and typically offers 4-5 entrees and 4-5 main courses, plus a variety of desserts. A three-course menu is available for 38€, 48€ with the addition of a cheese course. There is also an a la carte option. The food has always been delicious and beautifully presented. When we visited in March 2006, several in our group had porcheau (young pig), two had duck breast, and one had chevreau (young goat). Fish and vegetarian options are usually also offered. Save room for dessert!

The service is friendly and helpful with some English spoken. On our three visits in 2006 we had an excellent young waiter. Dinner typically takes 2-1/2 to 3 hours, depending on your own pace.

This is a very popular restaurant, and many locals eat here frequently. Reservations are a must.
