When I mentioned going to lunch, my gite's owner recommended La Lyriste, where my wife and I…read moresubsequently enjoyed a wonderful meal. I got a three course meal, and each course was absolutely great. The food was artful, delicious, and well-priced. When I return to Vaison-la-Romaine, I plan on heading straight back to La Lyriste.

Probably one of the worst experiences we had on our recent trip to France. It was partly our fault…read more We tried to eat lunch at about 2pm. Most places have closed their kitchens by this time, so you can't get food at most cafes in the square. We went in and got a couple crepes. They were good. I got a lemon and sugar crepe. Pretty easy (lemon squeezy) and at 4€, i thought it was kind of expensive. My parents shared one of the scrambled egg, bacon and cheese crepes. It was ok. I liked that it was a different dough--buckwheat. It was also very crispy which was nice. Service was terrible. Maybe because it wasn't during the meal rush or maybe because we were the only non-locals. There was also construction going on right next door. It was the only time I didn't want to leave a tip. Except not leaving a tip is sort of a thing in France already....

Great family restaurant. Friendly, staff.

Having visited Vaison la Romaine many years ago, we remembered a very fine meal at Le Bateleur…read more This time we went to Vaison on market day and got caught in a downpour, so we elected to see if they were open for three soaked tourists at noon. Luckily they were able to greet us and provide their excellent creations. The restaurant slowly filled up during our visit. We enjoyed the dishes pictured below. An amuse bouche of mint hummus, followed by appetizers of langoustines. I had scallops for a main and my guests had the pork belly. We had dessert aux fraises that was pretty much a pavlova. This was a great meal, made even better by the fact that we had not even thought that we would be having a great meal on a rainy market day.

As we entered we were allowed to chose our table and of course we chose one by the window overlooking the old river. Our server, also the owner was exceptionally friendly and helpful with drinks and food selections. The grilled octopus, a perfect way to start was tender and tasty. The pan seared sea bass over risotto perfectly cooked and exceptionally flavorful. All the desserts highlighted the fruits of the spring season. Strawberries were front and center and delicious. Very good wine list, focused on the Cote du Rhone appellation. Reasonably priced, Le Bateleur hits all the right marks.
