Hostellerie des Gorges de Pennafort

We have visited many fine restaurants throughout Europe and North America over the years. Apart from "Daniel" in NY, this was probably our second favorite dining experience. The dishes were absolutely incredible. We were with a group, some of whom were hesitant to try the tasting menu as they had allergies which were ignored in other supposed "fine" restaurants. Although those persons opted for a la carte, the chef insisted that they have the full gastronomic experience and customized tasting dishes that fit their needs. The wine choices were rare and exciting. The staff were knowledgeable, accommodating, friendly and classy without being snooty. I would recommend this establishment to even the most discerning of patrons.

Beautiful grounds and surroundings. Served as a great home base to visit some wineries/vineyards in the area. The room was very clean and full of character. We had dinner at the (previously) Michelin-rated restaurant, which was pretty good too. The staff was very professional and friendly.

The food is pretty good. Staff are professional. The location and grounds are quite nice. Apparently there's a Helipad but I didn't see it. I had the degustation menu which had some great dishes but as a whole it seemed a bit disjointed, for my taste. Overall a good effort.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The room (standard room) was small but nicely appointed and clean. Facilities in the room are good but I think there should be tea and coffee making facilities in addition. The pool area is very attractive and there is a bar on the terrace. However we were shocked to pay €25 for a glass of rose wine and a bottle of beer. In fact, having failed to check out the dinner menu in advance, this made us fear for our bank balance! However, although the dinner menu was pricey (for us) it was utterly amazing and worth every penny. We chose the ‘menu decouverte’ (€85) which appeared as a four course menu. However the chef’s surprises increased this to twelve courses!! The food was incredible and plentiful - such a treat! The wine varied in price - we selected the cheapest rose at €50 which we felt was delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly without being intrusive. After 7 days travelling around this region, this was our best experience without a doubt. Do not hesitate to visit 😊

We stayed at the hotel for a few nights. The reception staff, accommodation and pool were lovely. The food at the restaurant was amazing and a true delight to sample the great work of Philippe Da Silva! We opted for the prestige menu and it was great. Unfortunately the service we received was very disappointing. At times forgotten about and they chose to serve others who were not even waiting before us. The flow of the menu was missed and it really impacted our experience. Such a shame for a wonderful place. We have all received disappointing service at times but none to ever make me post on Trip Advisor.

Overall, for 3 nights, a great experience. The room was smallish, but neat and clean. Pool area awesome, but the 'winner' was the dinner at the hotel. 4 people for dinner with some wine was 'the best we've ever had' - along with the price....

We have eaten at the Gorge De Pennafort many times and have never been disappointed with the food. Dinner in the terrace was as always very very good with some wonderful tasting food. Can't fault the food at all - there was a very strange pulsating light on each table, quiet strange ||However this time as well as eating there we also stayed for two nights ||At check in we were met by a delightful lady and gentlemen and they checked us in, nothing was a problem and they were very pleasant ||Our room was a garden view room on the ground floor - not sure how to describe the room really, it was spacious but non of the interior design matched - purple, blue, grey and brown in the bedroom and to many colours and tile finishes in the bathroom - very strange that there was no toilet door ||The bed was comfortable - there are no complaints ||The swimming pool area was a little disappointing - not enough chairs so we could not sit by the pool and relax. The sun goes in the afternoon so no evening sun ||So I would recommend the hotel - but beware, it's primarily a restaurant not a hotel in my opinion

It was a lazy and hot Sunday! After the beautiful market in Le Muy a surprising lunch at the Hostellerie.|The four of us decided each to take the menu not the biggest not the smallest ;-) amouse bouch and 5 courses, three of them with a choice of 4 !!!|After three greetings out of the kitchen the amouse bouch came, and then it starts...|The Garçon opened the first starter with the words "Philippe da Silva harmonised the Menu"|That means each of the choices of the starters, pre main course and main course were served. All in all we had 15 (fifteen) courses, all of them delicious at it's best. Nice and humorous service, all in all a unique and unforgettable Sunday afternoon. Great wines as well, of course ;-)
