Au Comptoir de Balthazar — Restaurant in Apt

Not to be missed. A gem in the heart of Saignon, facing an iconic church. Chef Mathieu and his wife Déborah offer high-quality dishes that showcase regional and seasonal products—the menu isn’t extensive, but there’s a good reason for that! For example, this week, we ordered a surf-and-turf starter with andouillette that even won over my uncle, who usually prefers traditional flavors. The desserts, especially the ice cream, are a must-try. The wine list is memorable, with a selection directly from their meticulously chosen cellar (we opted for a Bandol rosé). I also highly recommend the Gin T'Olive, not to be missed, garnished with small flowers sprinkled on top. They are delightful and attentive; this restaurant alone is worth the trip to the village.

À ne surtout pas rater. Un bijou au cœur de Saignon, face à une magnifique église. Le chef Matthieu et sa femme Déborah proposent des assiettes de qualité, mettant en avant les produits régionaux et saisonniers - le menu n'est pas énorme, mais c'est pour une bonne raison ! Par exemple, cette semaine, nous avons commandé une entrée terre et mer avec une andouillette qui a séduit même mon oncle, pourtant traditionnel dans ses goûts. Les desserts, particulièrement la glace, sont à commander à tout prix. La carte des vins est mémorable, avec une sélection directement issue de leur cave, méticuleusement choisie (nous avons opté pour un rosé de Bandol). Je recommande également le Gin T'Olive, à ne pas manquer, garni de petites fleurs parsemées dessus. Ils sont adorables et attentifs ; ce restaurant vaut à lui seul le détour...

We ate here several times during a one-month stay in Saignon and loved every meal. The food was excellent (when we got home, I immediately set about trying to replicate their chestnut soup). The couple who run the restaurant (he's in the kitchen, she runs the front of house) were always gracious and friendly. They never showed any impatience with my appalling French or my wife's need for gluten-free dishes. We have fond memories of our dinners there and wish them both the very best...

Romantic place in the center of a small village Saignon, just in front of the local church and municipality. We had a lunch here after a fantastic tour in the village and old ruins of a castle with stunning views. Service here was top, quick, pleasant and authentic. Food - local and simple, but very delicious. Will definitely come back to this charming place. One of...
