Our restaurant "La Cuisine au Feu de Bois" is a friendly place. We offer Provencal dishes, pizzas and salads. In front of you, in the middle of the room, the Chef prepares the best dishes to regale you ... Everything is made on site with fresh products. T

You could walk past this unassuming frontage without realising that it contains a genuine taste of France at a knock down price. As we passed on our tour of Apt's huge market, we reserved a table for 12.30 - feeling a little foolish as it was empty - but it turned out to be very wise as it was full and turning people away at lunchtime. We had the meal of the day for E11.50, which simply offered a 'Provencal pizza' plus salad, dessert and coffee. The pizzas were simple but tasty and filled the plate. The separate big plate of salad was mainly lettuce (as normal in France, where 'salade' means 'lettuce') but it also included tomato and melon. Spray bottles of oil and balsamic allowed you to dress your own. The bottle of chilli oil for the pizzas was a nice touch, and was sweet rather than fiery.Dessert was another pleasure - I counted 7 to choose from, including ice cream, of which there were several varieties including pistachio. My apricot tart was a huge slice, but I couldn't resist eating it all. Our guest had the apple pie - also large and 'moorish'. Coffee was included: our guest drinks it with milk - often double the price in France, but not here. We appeared to be the only English people in the place, but the waitress was helpful and my basic French was more than sufficient.The toilets were also in good order - not always the case in France!We felt this was the best value meal of the fortnight, and especially good for a family with children on a budget.

Everything seems to be closed on Wednesday, except for this tiny restaurant.Food is good and the is a fair choice of wine.We went for the all inclusive menu (choice between four different main courses and four different desserts) and we weren't disappointed.Good for the money!

We stayed in the are for a few weeks, and found ourselves returning to Shannons place every week for lunch. The food is so hearty and good, dessert is always jummy and the wine is great too. Good price too! Think homemade food style with a touch of both American and Norwegian cuisine. Everything is locally produced and in season. We had lam, veal, quail, sausages...JUM! The first strawberries arrived when we were there too, served on top of a lemon cake, it was perfect. It's only four tables inside, so call ahead for lunch to make sure you get a table (it's only open for lunch). Ambiance is great, the small tables outside in the sun is cozy for a glass of wine or coffee. Would go again, for sure.

We had dinner here and enjoyed it so much we went back a second evening. They have five or six daily suggestions which are very fresh and well prepared We had the fish both times and were very pleased( you can also order from the menu as well - either a three course plat du jour or a la carte. ). It was a nice mix of locals and tourists. The waitress/ owner can explain the menu in English and is very attentive. Donât skip dessert. Everything we tried was delicious as were the wine selections. ( we always like to drink local). We ate inside as the weather was chilly but on pleasant evenings there are several tables outside. We made a reservation for our second visit on a Saturday evening and Iâm glad we did. The restaurant was full and people without reservations had to be turned away. If youâre in Apt, this is a great place to try

From the moment you enter, you can tell you are in the presence of an artist - everything from the decor to the menus to the food is a creative experience. There are a lot of traditional elements in the cuisine (mostly French, but some pan-Mediterranean), but they are combined and elaborated upon in a quite artistic way. You could tell by the number of specials on the menu that this is a place where every dish is well considered (it was evident that several of the dishes made use of seasonal ingredients that insured produce and meats were very fresh). The cooking and ingredients are all of high quality, My wife and I both ordered a fois gras that was perfectly salted and cooked. Both of our entrees were excellent and the kind waitress was friendly and very helpful in finding something our baby could eat. The establishment was the high-point of our stay in Apt. I would revisit Apt only to return to this restaurant. Merci a la la propriétaire pour votre déterminé penchant artistique!Je n'ai pas tout compris mais j'ai l'impression que vous êtes satisfaits de votre passage à l'intramuros. Merci et peut être á bientot

C'est une pâtisserie qui propose quelques tables et permet de manger des plats simples mais très bien garnis et présentés (pizzas, omelettes, salades, etcâ¦). Les desserts sont naturellement "maison" et on y est très bien accueilli. C'est vraiment l'idéal

Every time we come to the Luberon we rent bikes and explore the area. We use the hill climb to Saignon as a litmus test of our fitness as do many other cyclists it appears!Whenever we explore we like to refuel with coffee and cake / croissants. The best cake shop in the Luberon has to be La Vie en Rose in Coustellet but whilst their decor and cakes are amazing, they don't make a croissant as nearly as good as Chez Christine which simply has the best croissants in the area. Tap the top of the croissant and you get that click sound. Then pull off the top and it peels off in layers. Splendid!Their Cafe allongé (espresso with extra water) is top notch as well although we find we need to order 2 each but at EUR 1.50 each it's not a big deal. And of course if you are having 4 coffees you may as well have 4 croissants!

I asked the owner, who was setting up for lunch service, if there was a table available for lunch, and his response was not just rude but hostile. Disappointing, to say the least, since the reviews for meals have been so positive.
