La Bartavelle

One of the best meals and food experiences you will ever have!!!! Great value for money and excellent service and atmosphere!!! A hidden little gem!!!! Going again tomorrow!!! Merci!!!

We visited this restaurant in a large family group (16 + toddler). They took the reservation insisting we come for exactly 8pm, had only two options each for starter and main, dessert obligatory (3 choices), all preordered and decided 2 days in advance. Ironically the 2 kids’ plates arrived quickly and the fish was superb! But for the rest of the meal, it was mediocre at best and took forever between courses (I think it was 45 min for dessert) and we barely left at 10:30pm. Amuse bouche was interesting but not my taste, and the bread was so hard and dry it was inedible. The starters were ok but lacking in fresh presentation - I saw the ‘normal’ clients’ dishes go by and they looked incredible! I had a huge lump of flat-tasting cooked eggplant. I barely forced down half. But the mains were a huge disappointment … the sides were exactly the same for the meat and fish, including a plain chopped aubergine. This was pretty unimaginative considering that one of our 2 choices for starter was in fact a mass of cooked aubergine already. The main fish was frankly inedible. Small portion smothered in sandy sauce and with a very disturbing texture, almost seemed rotten. The side dishes were dry and crusty as if they had been under a warming lamp for hours. The desserts were pretty but huge in comparison, and uneven in taste. As this was our one restaurant meal as a family group during a 2-week holiday, everyone was pretty disappointed. We still paid ‘gastronomic’ prices for a mediocre meal. The staff were lovey and the ambiance nice, but if they really can’t handle a large group at the same standard as usual, they should not accept the reservation. I actually woke up at 4am with stomach pains of hunger for having had so little to eat.

Great food and friendly, helpful staff who were very patient with our bad French ;) A little hidden away in a side street, away from the 'touristy' eateries. Highly recommend but make sure you reserve as it's a popular place.

You can’t go wrong at the Bartavelle. Delicious food, great value, generous portions that are beautifully presented. Friendly, attentive service and a comprehensive wine list! Merci! We will be back.

Great value for money. Very good Provencal cuisine, nice selection of wines. Be prepared: you will not leave hungry. Portions are generous, cheeses and desserts are wonderful. And beautiful patio outdoor seating area

Really nice food here. Lovely service! Also good value for the money!

La Bartavelle never disappoints! I highly recommend the Ravioles and Le Lapin. The Coulant au Chocolat is heavenly. Excellent customer service. Fresh, beautiful food. Fair price points. Don't miss a dining experience here!

Traditional French restaurant with great service! The meaty dishes were okay, but I wouldn’t recommend the vegetarian dishes. The presentation of the coffee is cute at the end
