CHEZ FLO - Lorgues

Four people want to have a good meal so we search the reviews and up pops "Chez Vincent". Well, as they say, it's always a ****-shoot, but we decided to take a chance and were most definitely not disappointed and as we awaited our first course we whet our appetites with a simple amuse-bouche and a sip or two of Chateau Les Crostes rouge. Three of us had decided to take the 30€ menu and to start the meal our friendly waiter, Vincent's brother-in-law, placed before us Salade St Marcelline, a well filled bowl of fresh lettuce topped with among other morcels, a deliciously gooey piece of the eponymous cheese baked in crumbs and herbs, several pieces of jambon cru, artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes. Happily unrushed we chatted away, contented to be inside on a damp rainy evening, until our main courses arrived, Confit de Canard for those of us taking the table d'hote and Roti Saumon for my wife. Not a disappointed face anywhere and four clean plates told the story. The duck was tender and tasty, the salmon light and moist, and the sides and sauces well suited to each. The rains got heavier as we relished our vittles and so arrived at the time for the sweetest of decisions, Fondant Chocolat for two, a Creme Brulee for one and Croute de Pommes for me. We could not have asked for a better meal, with friendly service in comfortable surroundings, and all at a reasonable price that well matched the quality we received.

I read a few negative comments but we tried this restaurant this night and we were really satisfied. The owners are friendly and charming. We had our kids with us and they got served almost immediately (since kids can be really hungry ) . The food itself is good. Not exceptional, but perfect value for money within this area. We had the cheapest red and white wine and they were both very good! I had the shrimps as main dish and tomato carpaccio as starter . That last one was excellent. I would recommend this place!!

We had a very nice dinner ar Chez Flo, earlier known as Chez Vincents. 10 guests with various needs and preferences were all served effectively and with civilised charme! Food was excellent and the staff were welcoming. This place deserves succes !

As residents of Lorgues, we booked because of nice comments and new owners. It was a special occasion for us. We dined with good friends. There was no menu only à la carte. There was a dish of the day but it didn't take our fancy. Starters, salads starting from 16 euro's, Foie gras 27€. We shared 2 of those. The Foie was already greyisch of colour, a poor quality, which you wouldn't expect for that price. Main course lamb (noix), our requested dish was only available for 1, the waitress who took our order suggested an another lamb dish, which was not on the menu and as we found out when settling the bill 5€ more expensive!! The others changed to . The veggies are over cooked, the mash is thrown on the plate. The wine ordered was warm, we could get some ice cubes, excuse me?? It is a rosé wine it should be chilled. For a very simple meal , no desserts no coffee,we paid 115 euro per couple. 1 starter, 2 main courses, 1 bottle of wine. Way to expensive!! Price/ quality way out. Since most of the restaurants in Lorgues are to expensive, we mostly dine elsewhere. We also had a dinner in Moustiers, at La treuille de Muscade and it was a bliss!! ( Guide Michelin) 3 course menu, 1 bottle of chilled wine, water, coffee only 92€!!! Just to show you the differance.

Seating outside puts you in the centre of Lorgues. Cars passing but not in a bad way. It's a small town and everything feels local because it is. Service was sweet. Had the big tour the menu in french which I do not speak. Found out everyone spoke English fluently. So the food was a mix of several choices. Two had the entre-cote/frites with truffle sauce. It was fine, not fancy. One had the risotto with clams. Also very good and very rich in taste and calories. I had a dish with grulled thna. Big mistake. It was overcooked and not a presentable slice. The polenta was dry. Veggies were very tasty. Would I come back? Yes!
