The views are beautiful and the food is nice and innovative, but I expect more from a Michelin star restaurant. Food - interesting and unusual taste combinations, some very tasty, but no “wow-moments “. Instead there were a few dishes I definitely disliked. The chef should perhaps focus on balancing/perfecting selected dishes, rather than producing a multitude of tastes. Far too much sour (and I mean REALLY sour) flavours for my taste. Also, two chicken main dishes in a set menu is not really ok. In general, except for the multitude of colourful starters, it felt quite cheap, especially for the prices they are charging. The strongest point for me was the extensive use of fresh herbs/flowers from their own garden in every dish. It did elevate the taste and overall experience. Drinks - generally very good wines, well matched with the dishes. A very tasty and original aperitif of the house. Nice selection of digestives. For environmental reasons they use their own filtered tap water, which is ok (although the taste was not great). What is not ok is to charge for it as if it was an exclusive bottled water. Service - very friendly and attentive, but lacking the smooth excellence you expect in a star restaurant. Three waitresses for the whole dining room (including the sommelier) is not really enough and the service was sometimes delayed, or not synchronised. Their English was also not really fluent. The explanation/presentation of dishes was much more limited than in other star restaurants. Setting - except for the nice view, the place really lacks some style and refinement. The decor gives a cosy, but cheap impression. The napkins looked and felt like they were my grandma’s age and they were not even nicely ironed. You are expected to use the same cutlery for multiple dishes. The tables outside would fit better in a roadside cafe and the walk to the entrance makes you wonder if you’re entering someone’s (not very tidy) backyard. It is not even lit in the evening - don’t forget your flashlight! To sum up - Aponem is a nice restaurant and definitely worth a visit if you are a foodie and don’t care much about prices. It is definitely overpriced for what is delivered and it definitely doesn’t live up to a Michelin...

where to start?! now we know how lucky we were to snag a table -- I was online and saw that the restaurant was booked out until the end of October, when a table popped in for the same day, a last minute cancellation. Communication with the restaurant was quick and perfect when confirming at such short notice. The drive through wild countryside was lovely, and once arrived it was immediately clear that this is a special place. We chose the "menu première approche" at 65 euros - there is a bigger menu at 85, and wine pairings at 40 and 55, respectively. On weekdays there is a lunchtime menu at 38 euros. The wine list is extensive, interestingly sorted by vintage, and well-priced. The entire experience was extraordinary. Service in the small dining room is polished while not being too stiff - lots of smiles from friendly and competent staff. Good advice given on the wine selection. And the food -- divine! There is no printed menu and it is all a great surprise, and we settled into it. Every one of the many small dishes was perfectly prepared, inventive is saying little, and fully accomplished. Each bite brought explosive flavors and textures -- surprise after surprise. Previous reviews talk about small portions - criticism I have seen frequently by people not used to service of multiple small dishes. We left more than full (and that was on the "small" menu....). We had nice local wine. Next time we will go for dinner, with the big menu and wine pairing -- if we are lucky enough to...

J'aurais pu mettre 5 étoiles pour récompenser la qualité des plats élaborés avec soin, j'aurais pu… J'aurais pu mettre 5 étoiles pour saluer la gentillesse de la serveuse brésilienne qui a fait ce qu'elle a pu, mais elle ne gérait pas les boissons, ni les humeurs de la "chef", j'aurais pu… J'aurais pu mettre 5 étoiles pour faire comprendre à la cuisinière qui est venue nous demander si tout était ok, qu'on ne lui en voulait pas, j'aurais pu… J'aurais pu mettre 5 étoiles pour le cadre charmant et prometteur, j'aurais pu… Mais non, je ne mets qu'une étoile, et pas une de plus, en effet : J'ai osé de façon courtoise sans aucunement hausser le ton demander poliment un autre choix de vin que celui que me proposait Mme GABY, après 40 minutes d'attente sans même un verre d'eau pourtant demandé dès notre arrivée. Les plats (tous succulents) sont arrivés au compte-goutte, sans rythme ni coordination. Après une, puis deux, puis X demandes pour avoir de l'eau, un des convives s'est levé discrètement pour aller trouver la personne au service, pour avoir la suite et surtout de l'eau. (Nous étions début juillet, dans l’Hérault : 1h20 sans eau en terrasse, on finit par avoir soif.) Et là, c'est le drame, ou plutôt, le théâtre, Mme Gaby est arrivée en nous interpellant au milieu des autres convives déclarant que c'était la première fois qu'on se montrait aussi irrespectueux envers elle (???), que chez elle tout n'était qu'amour, douceur, zénitude et gentillesse, avant de nous humilier publiquement. Dans une envolée lyrique, nous devenions ses invités d'honneur et elle annonçait nous offrir gracieusement le repas… pour nous remercier. Après ce spectacle solo, je lui ai calmement demandé en quoi nous avions été irrespectueux, elle n'a répondu qu'en boucle : amour, zénitude, douceur, gentillesse, gratitude… Probablement vexée, après 1h29 à attendre notre première goutte d'eau, la "chef" est revenue avec une bouteille d'eau et des verres qu'elle a remplis au quart, en nous refaisant avec emphase, l'éloge de l'amour, de la gentillesse, etc… Puis, vengeance minable, elle est repartie avec la bouteille. On s'est tous regardés, médusés par le spectacle mais oui, nous n'avions eu droit qu'à 100ml d'eau chacun. On aurait cru une punition d’école maternelle. Face à ce délire d’autorité blessée, et à 22h passées, nous avons préféré quitter les lieux au bout de deux heures, en plein milieu du repas, pour préserver la paix du lieu et ce qui restait de la soirée. Il faut dire qu’on n’osait même plus rien commander. Et malgré notre statut d’"invités d’honneur", nous sommes tout de même passés, courageusement, par la caisse pour régler notre "repas". Et là bizarrement, les 2 premiers couples dont moi, ont eu droit de payer… mais pour le troisième, à l'initiative de Mme Gaby, c'était reparti dans la litanie sur l'amour, la douceur la gentillesse et… "on ne m'a jamais fait ça…" et Mme Gaby ne les a pas fait payer en appliquant la logique mystérieuse d’un lieu où l’on est traité selon l’humeur et pas selon l’équité. Bref, au-delà des assiettes bien exécutées, l'expérience fut un naufrage humain et relationnel. Tout est amour, sauf quand vous avez soif, faim ou une opinion. Pour l'amour et la douceur vous le trouverez sans doute dans les plats mais sûrement pas dans l'accueil exécrable de la "chef" Mme Gaby. Pour les vins, acceptez ce qu'on vous propose, et surtout, ne la ramenez pas ! Et petit conseil, s'il fait chaud, prenez de l'eau avec vous, elle est rare à l'Aponem et surtout, il faut la mériter. Pour Mme Gaby, que dire… rien. Car moi aussi, je suis très attaché au respect (notamment celui dû aux clients) et je tiens à la rassurer : elle n'aura plus jamais à "subir" notre politesse, notre patience ni ce prétendu irrespect sorti tout droit de son imaginaire et qui, apparemment, a suffi à faire vaciller sa zénitude autoproclamée. Il est certain, que même gratuitement je n'y remettrai plus les pieds. Ps : C'était un dimanche soir tapas/ginga - et non un repas entre 80/160€ Les gueux seraient-ils moins bien traités que...

Réservation super. Très bon rapport qualité. Belle découverte. Service impeccable. Beaucoup d'originalité pour les différents plats. Salle agréable avec une vue sur la vallée magnifique

We have been trying to get a table at Äponem for years, every time we we come down to the region, more or less once a year. It was well worth the wait. This is the most genuine food experience we have had. First of the food itself would be enough for a 5 star rating, then adding the view and the position of a restaurant in an old church looking down at the valley. But most importantly, the genuine feeling we got from Gabi and her staff. No prestige, just passion for what they do and inviting you to the feeling of being in their living room being catered top class food and never wanting the experience to end. Go try it. It is worth 7y wait.
