Welcoming you….
The Restaurant is open approximately from Easter to mid-November, with slightly reduced opening hours at the beginning and towards the end of the season. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays, except for bed and breakfast guests.
The kitchen area is in full view of the dining room, separated only by a serving counter. It’s fascinating to watch kitchen staff in their crisp white uniforms quietly preparing the good things you’ve chosen from the menu. The décor is elegant, unfussy and comfortable, a well-chosen mixture of the antique and contemporary. Dinner is always served by candlelight.
The broad terrace has unforgettable views across the river to the old village, framed by the nearby Pont du Diable. Umbrella-pruned mulberry trees and several pergolas, laced with honeysuckle and roses, plumbago, vines and passion flower, provide shade from the summer midday sun. Here too dinner is served by lamplight.

There are few more magical experiences than to spend summer evenings on the terrace, with the river whispering below, the setting sun gilding the honey-stone of the village houses, and with tumbling flights of swallows and house-martins wheeling over the water.
The greeting is always warmly cordial, and clients are made to feel welcome and at home and that they really matter. The service is attentive and courteous, and staff do their best to speak to guests in their preferred language. (There are sometimes staff vacancies for students: enquiries by e-mail to joan@fleurs-de-olargues.com) At least once a month there is live music, regularly featuring crisp cool jazz from Clem Adelman and his trios, and blues artistes and classical musicians play occasionally. Musicians ask to come and play here.
As Anders says:
Sometimes we welcome internationally known musicians, who love to play in the very special setting and ambience of Fleurs d’Olargues.
Special family events at Fleurs d’Olargues, like weddings, birthdays and christenings, are particularly memorable and indeed beautiful occasions. Joan will be happy to discuss arrangements.
