Les Relais du Serre

We were driving on Provence little roads when we hit the little village: " Le Serre du Turc" near Dieulefit. It was 1:30pm, and we were looking for a quick lunch. We saw Le Relais de la Serre and asked the owner if they would accept to serve us, even if it was quite late for a French lunch. We were welcomed and ushered to a very nice dinning room with fine tablecloth and decorations. Helen, our young waitress was highly professional. The menu is very diverse and everything looked good. My wife and I chose 2 menus at Euro 26.00 and a bottle of local rose wine from Vinsobres. Everything was delicious. When we were almost finished, the owner Loulou, a sympathetic 68 years old local, joined us and we started to talk, about the region, his achievements, etc. In short we spent two fascinating hours. Loulou invited his wife Odile to join the conversation. He ordered another bottle of wine, coerced us to taste his dessert specialty a Vacherin (ice cream dessert), ordered some champagne and coffee. We will certainly come back, if possible during the fall and winter season, when his menu is focused on black truffle and game meat.
