Relais Chantovent

We had a fine relaxing lunch on the terrace on a sunny Monday afternoon. What could we have wished for more? It was the height of the summer so the place was packed I think close to 50 couverts. (tip of the day, make a reservation). Well to be honest this set the stage for the staff, as they worked very hard to deliver everything in time on every table. They managed, but that came with loss of a personal note. One at our table was served the starter without a word, while the waiter was checking the table behind us. I was nicely surprised to see the chef at the table to serve the main plate and dessert. OK, let’s focus now on the quality. Our party took the dejeuner option with one exception. The dishes benefit from the freshly available ingredients and I have to say that they were very well done. For mains I had the salmon together with nicely prepared vegetables. I was genuinely surprised that the dejeuner option allowed choice among a myriad of dessert options. Great, well done. One element of criticism, please skip the whipped cream on the dessert plate. The desserts are so well done that the extra ‘fat & sugar’ can easily be done without.

We come to this restaurant every year when we visit my sister in the south of France and it never ceases to impress. All the staff are friendly, attentive and professional. The setting is wonderful and the view form the terrace is impressive. This year we went mad and had the gourmet menu - 8 courses I believe but we got to taste so many different dishes on the menu that way. All the other menus are good though. The one thing I always have is the white sangria as an aperitif - what a way to start an amazing meal. It is important to book especially if you wish to sit on the terrace, but you will not be disappointed by the whole experience !! Cant wait for next year!

Reservations are a must, and it is definitely worth the time and the drive up through the hills. We had a fantastic lunch on the terrace. Each element of the prix fix lunch was a scrumptious work of art! We were two couples and ordered different options, and all were delicious, as was the local rosé. We will definitely go back again on our next visit to the Minervois.

Delicious scenery if siting outside with the view of the george du Brian. We had the menu at 32 and 22 and both were amazing; the Tekaki Boeuf, un delice!
