We stayed in L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue for 5 weeks, in September and October. It is a perfect town to…read morestay in while visiting Provence, as you can make many easy day trips to many interesting sites, and the town itself is lovely. We ate at La Balade at least 3 times a week, sometimes more, and always at lunch. We ate both inside and outside by the river. So, we tried virtually everything on both menus, and we were delighted with every meal--especially the Iberian pork. Wow! We also loved the grilled mackerel with sorbet on top; who knew that could be done so deliciously! We never had any doubts about the kitchen, so we would try anything and everything they served, and we were never disappointed. As for the service, it was always very friendly and professional, but not stuffy. The servers belied the myth that French waitstaff aren't friendly and chatty. We felt like locals, even though our French is limited.

Brilliant, simple, clean modern design is both exciting and soothing. The location is right on the river and I'd guess in the summer sitting on the deck with a glass of wine is pretty fabulous. The food was stellar and for the quality well-priced. We all had the Marche Menu--three courses for 30E. The starter was a amazing scallop carpaccio with sea urchin, salad, some crisps; the plat was a deconstructed duck breast, with some potatoes, mushrooms, and a few other things--amazing taste and lovely to look at too; the dessert was (and this is going to sound odd) a chestnut cake with marinated/carmelized celery. Sounds weird, tasted great. Throw in an amuse bouche and some cookies at the end and for the price of an extra-large meat lovers' pizza back in California, you can have a pretty incredible meal. I'll be thinking about this day for a while.

It's still great, though, and is one of the very fun things to do as a tourist in Provence. But after you have marketed, and have bags full of sausage, cheese, linens, and whatever else tempted you, it is nice to find a quiet place for a glass of vin with your lunch. Most of the restaurants are crowded, a little formulaic, and a little overpriced for what you get. Le Carré d'Herbes is a little off the (tourist) beaten path, has good food, a quiet patio, and is a good retreat from the bustle of the market. A glass of rosé and a pumpkin soup (it was a cold day) and I was ready for the drive home. It's worth seeking out.
