Restaurant Tayac MENERBES — Restaurant in Apt

Our lunch at Le Tayac was something out of a dream! From the moment we walked in, Margaux's enthusiasm for hospitality and the exceptional food and wine infused our experience. We sat on the terrace to take in the gorgeous view of the vineyard and surrounding valley – the perfect way to remember how much of what comes to the table is from the surrounding landscape. Margaux took the time to make recommendations about wine to go with our meal – a cheery sparkling to start and then a flavorful rosé during the meal, both from the vineyard. My husband and I picked different dishes from the tasting menu so by the time we tried each other's, we had everything. Thank goodness we didn't miss a single dish. The food is so thoughtfully conceived that the ingredients create a symphony of flavors and textures. We loved visiting the gardens above the restaurant after to see where Nicolas gets the inspiration and the ingredients for the meals. Le Tayac is something special because you can feel Margaux and Nicolas's warmth and skill...

Had lunch at Restaurant Tayac a few days ago and had a great experience at this place. The food was amazing and the service was attentive, professional and personable. As it was November, we dined inside and we were pleased with the intimate dining room and beautiful table setting. We were welcomed by the owner who was also our server and was very friendly and efficient. She spoke very good English and made us feel welcome at the outset. I can’t wait to return to this establishment and highly recommend a visit to Restaurant Tayac for lunch or dinner. I strongly suggest that you make reservations as seating is limited but remember that you will be rewarded by a memorable...

What a wonderful place to have lunch. The value for money is extraordinary, given the quality of the food. It is clear this is a place that takes local produce seriously, and this is reflected in the vitality and freshness of the food. The wine and (extremely local) IPA were also fab.

I had monkfish, chicken and then a pistachio cake whose sponge was delicately (and gorgeously!) flavoured with olive oil. It just worked - and demonstrates perfectly how this lovely little restaurant balances simplicity with a special (but unfussy) eating experience.

Can't wait to return when I'm back...
