Simplicity, flavour, coherence, taste and exquisite manners. A completely awesome discovery and proposal 100% recommendable.

This place should have had a star well before it did. I’ve been to a veritable smorgasbord of Michelin star restaurants over the years and been disappointed. This gaff is unbelievable. The depth of flavour makes me believe we don’t always need meat. The understanding of this place is something that most people will not get, not in an arrogant way but old school standards prevail. As a Brit that has been brought up on every brilliant of France from cassoulet to canard. I’ve been twice and it’s quite the most remarkable experience.

By far the best vegan experience I've had in France. Sitting outside in the evening, surrounded by herbs and lit by candles, the food was exquisite and the service friendly and informative. Extremely good value for a top quality gastronomic delight, I can't recommend this too highly!

My absolute favourite place to eat in France, but recently I've been to ONA to try their dinner menu and, although I was once again impressed with the quality and geniality of the dishes, I was disappointed and bothered by 2 things: 1. I spent over 2 hours in the restaurant, having to wait about 30 minutes to have each dish - it is a 5 courses menu. I am all for the idea of taking your time and living the experience, but there is a limit and ONA definitely crossed it. The wine was amazing, the food was out of this world and I would still recommend the place to anyone, BUT... I can't pretend I didn't get annoyed with all the waiting. Definitely something to work on. 2. For some reason the waitress wouldn't interact with me and would only explain/serve the dishes to my partner, ignoring me and making me feel invisible. At first I didn't give it much thought, but in the end when she served the final course and placed it in front of him, ignoring the fact that I was just there, it really bothered me. I am hoping that it wasn't purposeful and that I misunderstood the scenario. That being said, I still have ONA as one of the best restaurants I've ever been to. The food is like nothing else I've ever tried and the atmosphere is charming and cozy. I will be back but I'd love to see those issues solved. Edit: after the owner replied, I'd like to highlight that despite those 2 issues I had, I was still delighted to eat at ONA. I understand the concept of slow food but I do think it was a bit too much. And I am sure that Cindy is lovely, she has been in other occasions, but in this particular night I felt truly ignored because the interactions were always with my partner and I felt like my presence was less important somehow. I believe that it wasn't on purpose or anything, but that's just how I felt and I thought it was important to say that. In any case, my review is always go used on how incredible the restaurant is. Thank you for your reply and I hope you appreciate my honesty!

Looked so much forward to a dinner at ONA - the reason for my long trip to Arès - which got rescheduled then cancelled. Opted for the take out menu offered which is tasty but not what I expect from a Michelin star restaurant. Really disappointed.

We had a really nice dinner / story in new year's eve. Even as a non vegan I enjoyed a very refreshing view on life and food

First Michelin starred vegan restaurant for a reason. Creativity and technical skill combined to offer an extraordinary gastronomic experience.
