Le Petite Table - Eygalieres

As I was ill last summer, it was difficult for me to contemplate traveling to some of our favorite restaurants, but this one we had seen and not eaten at the previous summer after it opened. It was a really pleasant experience. Set in what used to be a local home, with a small swimming pool, the tables are set in the garden around the pool and patio. There is an interior full dining room, and the bathrooms are very spacious as they used to be actual bathrooms but the showers have been removed. The food was very well-prepared and planned,a more gourmet menu than many local restaurants, service was quite nice and attentive. My dinner included an excellent lobster dish, soup, and a beautifully displayed dessert. Portions were enough but not too much so we did not feel as though we were overeating, even though we ate three courses. We did notice it is open through the holidays, unlike some restaurants here which are season, but we will return either in the spring or next summer. On this trip we are eating more at home, and staying more with bistro-type food.
