Literally located under the Thèátre Antique d'Orange - This beautiful subterranean restaurant boasts not only a brilliant wine list and sublime food, it's the first place we've ever been that was the wine storage facility for the Romans who lived here two millennia ago. In Washington, where we're from, old is from the 1800s...this was next level. Upon entering you're greeted by a delightful host (who I believe is the owner) and taken to your seat. The ceiling is roughly 9 feet high and carved under the coliseum like amphitheater above. They have prix fixe and stand alone options. We were amazed at how reasonable the prices were. Around a 30€ for four courses was incredible. The foie gras ( cooked or raw) was the best we've had. We had duck breast, veal and a wonderful beef dish between our two adults and three kiddos. The wine list was solid with affordable and high end options. Dessert was classic and delicious- tiramisu and crème brûlée that were both amazing. And we had a lovely cheese course! Service was excellent and we left satisfied and looking forward to our next visit. This is a must for anyone looking for good food and as a unique a setting as we've ever found. We highly recommend it!

Luckily, one of our hotel staff mentioned that we may have luck in Orange - it was already after 9pm on Tuesday evening, but ONE restaurant was open until 11pm... Chez Rene. Upon arrival the hostess/waitress greeted us and was very accommodating. The chef/owner, I believe, was gracious and patient with us while we placed our order. The food was Italian and decent, and because the staff was so helpful, I must give this restaurant 5 stars! Merci!

Unfortunately we have not finished it and they already removed it when the dish come. Our main dishes are shrimp with red sauce and frog leg on sizzling plate. The shrimp is good. Not excellent. But good enough. The frog leg is big. It is definitely a good dish to have. Both dishes is good. Price is a big in high side. Service is good. Not much of English communication skill.
