My wife and I first visited this establishment in 1997, having read Peter Mayle's ' A Year in Provence' and I would say that it is even better than he described. We have been there for lunch 7 times in July or August and it is always a 'must do' when we are in the region. We do not book,... More

We first tried on recommendation from local ex pat on 22nd October & returned happily on 21st Nov. Both times we found a busy, happy & efficient staff with great relaxed warm atmosphere + roaring log fire. The interior appears unchanged from the 1920's /30s which adds to the ambiance, being enjoyed by local residents French; & otherwise. Yes the... More

Cheap price for cheap food and cheap service if this is what you are looking for... give it a try otherwise stay away from it! Very unfriendly service and less than basic food. Too bad the place description and reviews were promising...

We went to this place today for lunch and had a lovely time. As people say, it's simple food, made fresh. The plate of the day today was roast pork and potatoes dauphinoise. Choice of white, rose or red wine included in the price. The white and rose are from the local cooperative. Our three year old happily wandered around... More

This is eating local style (not fancy food). For 15 Euros you can pile up your starter at the buffet followed by a main course and pudding with 1/4 L of wine thrown in for free. Its a bit out of town and not the easiest place to find so make sure you have directions.

In the other reviews i have read of this place, I did not feel that anyone communicated just how genuinely French and old school this place really is. Unlike many other places we have visited, the inside of the restaurant is prettier than the outside or even the view. The floor is exquisitely tiled in 'Fired Earth' style geometric patterned...

Since we are in the area I have eaten at the Cafe de la Gare numerous times. The food is always very good. The fix menu (one main course) is prepared well, the ambiance is loaded with character. In the summer take a table on the terrace.

Firstly be aware that although this is in the old train station in Bonniuex, it's still 6km from the centre of town. It's all downhill if you're walking but the walk is on a road. This place is only open for lunch and there is one menu - crudities and salads to start, which were excellent, one choice main course... More

Loved the experience! The set-up is as described in other reviews. The buffet starters had the edge on the main course (roasted chicken thigh on the day we ate) with some excellent salads. Desserts seemed to be bought in, but the wine was eminently drinkable and it the weather warm enough to sit on the terrace with its fine view... More
