Le Bistrot de Sophie - Coursegoules

Wow! Seriously wow! 6 starsI'm a foodie and I've been in France for the last several weeks.

Place is great- had to make reservation before hand and the only one available was 9:15. The appetizers are adorable (olives, tuna and bread). We get the

Phenomenal French food at very reasonable pricesThe place isn't fussy and has a classic bistro charm.

Sophie is cheerful, generous, hardworking and very good at what she does- provide delicious, abundant home cooked meals to the lucky people who find their way there. We were a group of eight who were very hungry after a long walk: Pate de Maison; Quiche de Courgettes (zucchini);Mushrooms Farci (stuffed); Vegetable Tempura (don't know what they are called), and a large green salad. Then for the main course Coq au vin with curried cream sauce, and Blanquette de Veau. We all shared- family style and everything was very very good.For dessert- a wonderful selection: Tarte au citron (dead ringer for lemon merengue pie but better); Tiramisou; Mousse au Chocolate; A Pear Tarte. Then she brought out her homemade Marc, Limoncello,and Genever Liquors. We all took a nap when we got back!

The only nighttime restaurant in this sleepy mountain-top village but the varied menu certainly makes it worth than one visit. Delicious local recipes on offer, but the more traditional burger is a must-have. Staggering mmountain views from the conservatory seating area at the rear. Highly recommend.
