"A house owes so much to its owners... In this Provencal farmhouse, former home of the great-grandmother of the 1920s, all the generosity of the Bruno family is exhaled! Under the aegis of Clément Bruno, figure giant father and benevolent earthling, known for his cult of truffles, the two brothers, Samuel in the dining room and Benjamin in the kitchen, perpetuate the tradition with just the right amount of modernity.If the unique truffle-based menu is still there (black diamonds changing with the seasons), vegetables are now very present. We had a delicious time, in particular thanks to a service that was as smiling as it was attentive."
