Has anyone been to "Chez Bruno" near Lorgues, South of France
I am planning to travel to South of France and will be staying close to Nice, this well known restaurant is about one hour from Nice. Any idea about the prices, last time I was there was around 8 years ago. Specialty is truffles. Would appreciate this info to make plans.

We went a couple of years ago and enjoyed it very much, however it was very expensive. We reflected afterwards that it was the sort of restaurant we would go to once every 3-5 years if we lived in the area as it is a rather unique experience. The restaurant that we absolutely loved was www.lechrissandier.com in Lourges itself and went twice in two weeks. We would want to go every week if we lived there and even considered going for a weekend from England just to eat there.

What andaba says is very interesting, do you know of another restaurant where we might expect to get the real thing at reasonable prices? His son's restaurant in Nice apparently closed. (and based on what you say about Bruno's I wonder what kind of truffles he had!) We will be in the Cote de A'zure area and Provence in early November.

Are you renting a place? The truffle-stuffed ravioli made by Barale in the old town smells and tastes strongly of truffle.
As for other places, I have my doubts about some of them, but unless there is documented proof re their truffle origins, I don't want to name them as it would be libel.

You can get a PDF of their menu. Looks like menus range from 85 to 115 €.
It was a while ago when we went, but I recall that we had a wonderful meal Not only the truffles, but also the mushrooms were fantastic.
