Fodor's Expert Review Le Pistou

$$ Chateauneuf-du-Pape French Fodor's Choice

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Provençal specialties such as whole herb-roasted dorade (a small Mediterranean fish), lamb shank with Provençal herb sauce, or saffron crème brûlée are just some of your options here. The welcome is warm, the interior is filled with colorful tablecloths, fresh paint, and pictures, and set menus start cheap (€17–€24). They'll also set you up with a stellar local wine.
