L'Oasis du Petit Galibier

Some young family members, who already knew the place invited us, and we had a nic table just next to the pool, while an anniversary was celebrated on the terrace. Started with a champagne and followed with a margaux both at extremely sympathetic prices, as were also the menus and the á la carte. For starters, we all had the buffet with local specialties. I guess, you either love buffets or you don 't like them at all. In general, I belong to the latter category, but it all tased comme il faut . The main dishes were on the heavy side, and I was glad I had opted for lamb chops without too much fuzz. And, as for deserts, it seemed like all of us were happy again, I opted for the simplest possible choice; three scoops of ice cream... As a food haven, it 's acceptable just a hunch above mediocricy, but the place has its own peculiar charme, and there 's something auhentic and personal about it all, which compensates for the ulinary flaws, so all in all a good experience...

I came with my family for lunch on a warm sunny day in June. The place is outside St. Zachary, up in the hills by a narrow country road (but just a few minutes drive from town). If you don't know where you are going you'll never find it. We sat on the nice shaded terrace, in a relaxed atmosphere. The service was good, though my lack of French was a bit of a problem. The menu is in French only, and the waitress spoke little English but she tried and managed to explain what we needed. The serivice was good. The wine was good, and the food too. Felt like a home made wholesome meal.

Location is in the middle of nature; Food is based on quality fresh products from the market; Cuisine is nicely inspired from Provençal cuisine; Meat very tender, fish was delicious; deserts are original and based on classics, very well done; Welcome is friendly discrete and efficient;

Super pleasant restaurant, very nice reception by professionals. a meal with provencal flavors of very good quality. a very good address.

A beautiful setting, a splendid view with the pool at the 1st plana map has more than competitive prices (for us formula at 35 € all included) an explanation of the products of the card by the boss (finally I presume) precise and in addition to a great sympathy as well as the waitress a fast service, well-stocked plates with fresh and local products and all this accompanied by rorevity and local red perfect friends will not
