La Truffe - Aups

We enjoyed an absolutely lovely and very tasteful evening at La Truffe (Aups), friendly and patient service an a very pleasant atmosphere. The staff patiently explained the menu to us in understandable French and when neves in English. Accidentally found this place and decided to book for Sunday night; no regrets! We chose the four course truffle menu, for the main course we had tuna tartare. All courses had very explicit tastes whereby all ingredients where lovely balanced and could be enjoyed. An accompanying local oaked white fitted all courses surprisingly well. Even the coffee and small sweets were given the same attention. Lovely to see the owners prepare the courses in the fairly small and well equipped kitchen behind a beautiful glass separating wall. It adds to the experience. One can really see feel and taste the pleasure and pride the owners take in serving a beautiful menu and providing a good experience that doubled our appreciation for this region. Thank you to the staff of La Truffe.

It is not unusual for the better restaurants to offer vegetarian options, but a full menu (set meal) option is still quite rare. The dishes were inventive and delicious, the service was good (though not overly friendly I think some reviewers here have been unhappy with this style of service, to which I would say 'try dining in Paris! ' ...anyway, I found it efficient and helpful). Of course the emphasis of the dishes is truffles, and these were (by my experience at least) of good quality, as one would expect in the 'Truffle capital of France '. Although fairly quiet on a cold December day, I imagine that it would fill up quickly at other times of the year, so best to make a reservation. We will certainly return.

Great dishes, we took foie grass and snails and 2 beefs. The meat was not very tender, but the presentation and taste were very sublime. The respect for the customer was very poor. staff were rude and aggressive. Recommend to calm down a little bit.

Always a very good reception of nadine and seb, and always a feast of taste buds with truffle even without truffle

Service very pleasant while being discreet and excellent kitchen
