Ferme Dagobert - Rochebrune

After seeing Julie Andrieu's superb TV show on this inn, we were looking forward to tasting this cuisine and had rented a gîte nearby to do so. . . Unfortunately, when calling the hostel, a very friendly Mr informed me that since the Covid crisis, the hostel only receives groups by reservation. . . Too disappointed. Too bad this information is not on their site. . .

We discovered the restaurant a few years ago through a leaflet at the tourist office in Nyons, probably the year it was set up, and have been going back from time to time ever since. It 's a great place to take visitors from overseas as it is unique. The food is very good, currently 28€ for the set menu of 3 courses including a kir with sparkling wine, the plumpest Nyons olives imaginable and coffee/ tea. A cheese course is available at a supplement. It was quiet for a Saturday night, only us 2 and a table of 5, so a little lacking in atmosphere and decidedly chilly until the open fire got going. There is a choice of around 4 starters and desserts with the lamb being the main event. Local trout from St Fereol is available for fish eating vegetarians and it would be best to advise the restaurant in advance if this is required. Unsure of how strict vegetarian diners would fare. On our recent visit the lamb cut served was fillet. It was lean and tasty but not as rare as we like. Perhaps the chef made an assumption that British people want meat 'bien cuit '. The wine list is not overly long and features local producers as well as one south of Ventoux. Prices of wine are very reasonable, several under 20€. All in all it was another very nice meal and we 'll be back again, maybe in the summer months.

A beautifully hidden restaurant and a must if you 're on holiday in the region! We keep on going everytime we are around. Dagobert and Christine are amazing hosts and chefs! Everything is organic and local which makes a very authentic experience. Do not miss their delicious tarte à l 'abricot during summer. Also, during summer on Friday evenings they are at the local market in the small village Sainte Jalle and you can enjoy the exact same experience but right in the middle of the market à la provençale! I 'm looking forward to going again and I 'm sure you will too!

You have to visit Ferme Auberge Dagobert ans have lunch or diner in their old sheepfold . The lamb with Spelt is marvelous and the kindness of restaurant owners Christine and Dagobert is enormous . You Will never Forget il !

This is a sheep farm not far from Ste. Jalle. They always serve lamb as the main course (done different ways depending on what Dagobert is in the mood to do). The lamb is absolutely fantastic! No matter how hard I try, I always manage to stuff myself. There are several different starters to choose from. Highly recommended is the tar-tar of locally sourced trout (when available). The lamb is served with local vegetables and spelt (a gluten free wheat variety) which is creamy and absolutely delicious. Nice selection of desserts. A good selection of local wines, etc. Added to this is the excellent service and a wonderful view of the surrounding countryside. Highly recommend that you reserve in advance. As far as I can remember, they are closed on Mondays.
