L'Opale Restaurant - Eygalières

Like most everything I review and rate on Trip Advisor be it a hotel or restaurant , price plays a major factor. You just expect more from an establishment that charges premium pricing vs moderate pricing. The review cannot be based solely on the food and service. It’s L’Opales pricing that made me down grade our restaurant experience to four stars. In terms of L’Opales setting and service it is 5 star. Both the interior and exterior dining areas are delightful. The seating on cushioned benches against the wall was some of the most comfortable seating I had during my stay in Provence. The service is 5 stars all the way. A special thanks to Eleanor for her very professional and top notch service. As to the food..... two of the items ordered were very good but not memorable given the price. Was the quality of the food better than when we ate at Aubergine or Le Progress ? Without a doubt it exceeded those two establishments but again for the price paid we were expecting more ....and one of the dishes ordered my guest indicated was just average. Despite my criticism, note that I still gave L’Opale a very good rating. Check my review of Paulettes in Eygalieres and you will see that L’Opale ranked as our second choice for dining in the area.

In a nutshell: one of the best price-quality ratio I have ever seen in an exquisite location. The food is delicious: the chef cooks local products and makes it sparkle! The cherry on the cake is the cosmopolitan staff who is absolutely kind and obliged. A Must-Do!

We’ve eaten here a couple of times and the food and service are second to none. All you can eat buffet for 18€ in a beautiful setting and we even had live music possibly because it was a Saturday. The staff are very friendly and professional. We will be back... ;

Un déjeuner en semaine, menu à 17€ d'un très bon rapport qualité/prix. Et un déjeuner le 15 août, menu à 36€ : plats très bien préparés, goûteux et copieux. Service impeccable, serveur agréable. Rien à redire. Belle carte des vins.

Nous sommes venus samedi 12 août pour le dîner accompagnés de nos amis. J'avais eu de bons échos de ce restaurant mais toutefois un bémol sur le service car trop de stagiaires non pro. Effectivement, quelle déception au niveau du service !!!! Le serveur qui n'annonce pas les plats, ne dit pas s'il vous plaît ni merci, qui pose les plats sur table se rend compte qu'il s'est trompé et retire les assiettes servies sans rien dire ! Bref, nous avions l'air de le déranger !! Je n'y retournerai plus, les plats sont bons mais assez transcendants pour dépasser la médiocrité du service ☹️
