POP & BANG

Lovely experience and food. We went for my birthday as a family and had a great time. They managed to adapt the menu for some of the family members food preferences. The menu was diverse and filling. The view is the most beautiful part and the restaurant is really well designed. Great staff too!

Wow! Everything, from the location and service to the delectable food was exceptional. The views, especially at sunset, from the dining area are breathtaking. The waiting staff were very friendly, attentive and explained each course. It was absolutely no trouble to accommodate one of our party, who required Gluten free. A wonderful experience in a beautiful setting, a memory we will treasure. Thank you Dan B and the team.

Absolutely stellar restaurant, tucked away at the top of the hill in the historical centre of Ventabren. Beautiful modern architecture, framing a stunning view - sympathetically blending within its medieval surroundings. Simple, elegant furnishings laid out the canvas… We had decided prior to arriving that we would be opting for the “Expressions” - a full tasting menu - showcasing local produce, outstanding skill and execution as well as the wit, humour and personality of Monsieur B! Although there wasn’t a specific “wine flights” - we were treated to some exceptional pairing recommendations by the flawless service and sommelier staff! I really couldn’t fault any of the dishes - and wouldn’t wish to ruin the surprise for anyone - so shall not go into great detail about each individual plate, however I was blown away by the Sole with pistachio - and especially the rice pudding (served with cloudy sake) !! Michelin marvel - don’t hesitate, if you can get a table!

Absolutely incredible food and experience. The service and food were impeccable and the view, of course, was unreal. We had the most amazing dining experience here. Being vegan, it was astounding to see what the chef could prepare for the vegan menu…I was blown away. Really beautiful work. Would recommend booking in advance for a seat facing the view around sunset time. It beautiful.

What an idyllic venue perched high in this gorgeous village in Ventabren. You are greeted with spectacular views of a verdant Provençal countryside amidst the serene atmosphere in the well-thought-out minimalist-designed restaurant. You are offered the choice of 4 (blind) tasting menus, ranging from 81€ (for 4 courses) to 149€ (for 8 courses). Vegan and vegetarian menus are also available. We started ours with an amuse-bouche of a refreshing elixir of melon gazpacho, followed by a tomato salad in different textures and a superb tomato sorbet (while my husband had watermelon with smoked aubergine purée), Maigre (fish) for main course, choux topped with peach and a peach espuma and petits fours. Top-notch cooking by the chef patron, Chef Dan Bassoudo, creating magic using top quality fresh produce. Excellent service by the staff (who spoke English), attentive, courteous and described the food well. We would love to go back one evening when they open the glass doors (which are concertinaed to one side). Check out my Instagram @yippielovesfood for more restaurant reviews.

Wow! What an experience to visit and dine at Dan B. Our party of 5 (two couples and 1 child) recently enjoyed the tasting menu on our last night visiting the beautiful region of Provence. We were greeted by exceptionally friendly and welcoming hosts who were very accommodating to our specific dietary needs (child, vegetarian, and I’m expecting). The tasting menu was phenomenal and expertly curated by the chef - who was so kind to greet us near the end of our meal. The views of the sunset are also breathtaking! We will cherish our memory of this dinner for many years to come!

Lunch was delicious, with an excellent view. They were accommodating to us being late to our reservation. However I'm taking 2 stars off as they straight off recommended an appetizer set that ended up being 125 euros, without informing us of the price. Usually you don't expect an appetizer to be more than 20-30 euros. I think it's just a really distasteful thing to do to guests. Good restaurant otherwise!

Hands down the BEST meal we have ever had. Prepare to be wowed…by every bit of the experience! **We visited a second time and it was another fantastic gastronomic experience.
