Le Bateleur

We discovered this gem by accident. Could not have been more thrilled. We were impressed with the introductory artichoke puree with Chile; the first course octopus and pomme de terre confite were unique flavors for us. The brisket was perfectly cooked and the risotto Verde was yummy. Very happy with the ambiance, view, and darling wait staff. Wish our French was up to the task to compliment them appropriately.

We had a nice meal at Bateleur but nothing out of the ordinary. I had fish with potatoes in a mint/pea broth and my husband had veal with risotto and fresh peas, finishing with a cheese plate. There was only 1 server and she was running to keep up so service definitely suffered. For instance, the cheese plate was dropped on our table without any explanation of what each of the cheeses were; we figured it out but would have appreciated even a simple explanation. The prices are on the expensive side as we had 2 main courses, a cheese plate and 3 glasses of wine totalling €115.

Nice indoor setting & delicious meal, be it fish or meat. Though selection is limited, food ingredients are of fresh produce. Waiting staff is truly courteous & attentive to needs. Really worth a visit (or more 😉).

They had one 3 course menu (vegetable soup, veal with ratatouille, and peach-mango dessert) but it was the best thing we've had in Côtes du Rhône !

The choice is limited to 2-3 items but do not be afraid as it is all delicious. Discover things you might not have thought you would enjoy. The team are super friendly and helpful. Part of our regular stops in the region.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal here. We were a party of 6 with two children and they were very accommodating making up a children’s menu which was a small portion of a main course on the menu plus ice cream. The food was excellent, the dessert particularly. We chose the chocolate and it had a fondant, ice cream and mousse like a cloud!

The food was good quality,but small portions and high prices. The view was surprisingly nice hugging a small cliff over the river, facing old town.The staff was professional but not really warm. I was more comfortable in La Lyriste a few blocks away as it was family-owned, more traditional home-cooking, and the owners were super-charming and warm without being overwhelming; all that and it was a better value for the money.

Not inexpensive, but a fantastic meal. We did the price fix option which included entre+plate+dessert. Service was very good and several additional little items came to keep your tasty buds singing.

A very pleasant dining experience with an interesting fusion of French and Mexican cuisines - the best of both worlds. As we entered we were allowed to chose our table and of course we chose one by the window overlooking the old river. Our server, also the owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful with drinks and food selections. The grilled octopus, a perfect way to start was tender and tasty. The pan seared sea bass over risotto perfectly cooked and exceptionally flavorful. All the desserts highlighted the fruits of the spring season. Strawberries were front and center and delicious. Very good wine list, focused on the Cote du Rhone appellation. Reasonably priced, Le Bateleur hits all the right marks.
