Le Restaurant Le Piquebaure — Restaurant in Apt

We had the most delightful day roaming Luberon and visiting the wineries & small quaint villages, meeting amazing & gracious locals. Unfortunately that could not be said of the hostess (?owner/maitre d) & the young man helping her tonight. We arrived around 9:30pm, without a reservation. After a little hesitancy by the young man, the hostess seated us to an outside table. So far so good. The minute they knew we didn’t speak or understand the French menu, it was apparent the service degraded terribly. Food was mediocre at best, no offer of water at the table with the meal, no salt/pepper on the table, ate a steak with a regular table knife, no steak knife given.

The service was marred by a total inflexibility typified by "No you can't have cheese rather than a desert even if you are prepared to pay a little extra because the meal of the day includes a desert that you can't change." There were two boys serving who had obviously had their training at Burger King. As for the atmosphere, the terrace sounded great until you realised that it was surrounded by a wall that was higher than the eyesight of everyone sat down eating so the veiw was only of the hill tops some distance away. To cap it off the house wine by the glass was undrinkable. In summary, despite some nice tasting food, the restaurant failed in its primary goal of making the...

Called in on special and I’m so glad for google maps helping me with restaurants- this place is gorgeous- we had just finished the ochre trail in the village and wanted something nice to eat. We had a table outside at the front (I think the rear terrace was for bookings. We chose a tuna main centre each and we enjoyed the amouse bouche and a glass of wine. The service was friendly and the food incredible and I would highly recommend to come here....
