You really need to have an appetite to come here. We went for Sunday lunch, very French, lovely food, all cooked by the owners with local produce. There were many courses with as much wine as you wanted for €35 each - we didn't eat the rest of the day. The menus are set and they do vegetarian options - just let them know in advance and dont expect to a quick getaway. Very popular with the locals so you know its good!

This is a fabulous garden to visit and one of the few in the area worth visiting with children. There is an area with swings and a picnic area and during the summer on certain days children older than 6 can learn rock climbing . During the summer each Thursday evening the gardens are lit by candlelight and various musicians play in different parts of the garden. A magical experience not to be missed.
