La Roque, VieussanTwo great new experiences – the restaurant O’Bontemps at Magalas, half an hour away, a smart place with a really interesting surprise menu from €28 at lunchtimes (we had the €32 menu and really enjoyed it), and (newcomer of the year, and just ten minutes’ drive) the tapas bar Cave St.Martin at Roquebrun – see also this video of its opening party. Here you’ll find a truly excellent combination of carefully sourced ingredients (Spanish ham, French cheeses, locally grown garden vegetables, the very best of local wines) and friendly, relaxed, but attentive hospitality from Raymond, his family and staff, makes for the best evening out in the area. Open all evenings in summer, it is now open, in the down season, Fri.-Mon. 11.00-23.00.
