We came to L'Ecole des Filles on the recommendation of the AirBNB host we were staying with. The restaurant is charming and we were able to get a table when we arrive early at 7pm. By the time we left at 10:30pm on a Thursday, all the tables were full.
The set menu is the only way to go and the options all sounded delicious, so we got one of each of the two options for starter, entree and dessert. They also had a good selection of new world wines by the glass which we enjoyed.
Food was fantastic - but more importantly, the service was terrific. Since this restaurant is usually frequently by locals in the small village where it's located, there aren't a lot of tourists. We didn't know this and made the assumption that they would be able to accept our credit card without chip and pin. They weren't able to. So we only had 70 euros cash on us for a 90 euro dinner... The owner was kind enough to just take our 70 euros and take our word for it that we'd return the next night with the remaining 20 euros. We did return and all was well :) This isn't something a US restaurant would do, so we were charmed by the attitude they took here!
This restaurant was recommended by our bed and breakfast host. We had the set menu, where you get three options per category and can choose one per. The menu changes every week depending on what's available at the market, I really enjoyed my meal and so did my husband. We both ordered different things. The portions are small like any any fancy set menu would be, but the price is very good. You should definitely try this place out.
Charming girls school converted into a restaurant, conveniently located on main road, so that travellers not doing advanced research can stumble upon it when driving, as we did many years ago. Change of ownership hasn't affected the delicious cooking and friendly service. Prices may have gone up a bit, but it's still extremely reasonable. The menu changes every week, so if you stay long in the region, you should definitely go back.
