La Terrasse de Gordes

Don’t be fooled by the blackboard, the menu is the same every single day. No emphasis on seasonal ingredients or local produce. I had the plat du jour one day which was pork ribs that were completely inedible due to all the fat on them. My son’s duck was too tough to cut or chew. It’s in such a cute little spot, it’s a shame that they are obviously catering to tourists and not looking for repeat business.

We had a wonderful meal. The food is fresh and well prepared The staff were very nice and the setting is lovely.

The restaurant is a bit off the the main square but the outside seating is protected from the evening winds. We've ordered a 3 course menu; I went for Fricasse de seiche, Saint Jacques risotto, and Gratin abricot €28). Both my wife and I have sorted out that this was the best risotto we've ever had special flavour that matched the Saint Jacques taste so well. We also loved the Gratin abricot. The service was also on a very decent level but could work better in English note: they only received cash no credit cards).

Loved eating outdoors, right in the center of Gordes. The service was excellent and the meal was not only delicious but was served with much presentation that is typical of France.

We happened to find this place when walking in Gordes. It seemed like a small quaint restaurant that was quiet and peaceful. Unfortunately, there was no view despite being on hill. The staff were friendly but as the restaurant started to fill up, the service was extremely slow. The menu is shown on a blackboard so it was quite limited. We shared the plate of the day, white asparagus and oven baked Camembert. The asparagus was delicious and light. The Camembert was extremely tasty but filling. In addition, there were large slices of ham but they were nothing special. The plate of the day was a tajine but it didn’t seem at all French. For dessert we shared the chocolate cake which was delicious. Overall, it was a satisfactory meal but it could have been better if there was a view and a wider selection of meals.
