Excellent food in a pretty setting but very slow service. Waited 50 minutes from no arrival to any food at all and twenty mins before being given a menu or asked if we would like a drink. Good with that caveat

Le Castelleras is a wonderful restaurant with wonderful views and great food and wine. The restaurant sits overlooking the scenic village of Fayence and has really beautiful views from its terrace. Spring and summer are my favourite times of the year to eat at this fantastic dining spot. The restaurant is a family affair with a lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. I have always found the service to be warm and helpful. Most speak English for the non French-diner and I have always enjoyed a great night here. The restaurant offers a relatively narrow menu but I have found them very flexible and on one occasion I attended with vegan friends and this was no problem… they accommodated on the night with wonderful options. The food is excellent… we recently had a wonderfully prepared starter of sautéed wild mushrooms, followed by a delicious main course of turbot. It was delicate, tasty and elegantly presented. They serve a cheese course with truffled brie made on the property which was also very tasty and then we chose a fig tart with ice cream which was lovely. Their wine selection is excellent… I am a big fan of the Chateau Rasque Clos Madame Rose and White but they have excellent examples of the best of Provencal wines and for those who want something further afield there are nice burgundy and Bordeaux options. On Wednesday’s in the summer, they often have a lovely jazz evening with live music which is great fun. Overall I highly recommend le Castelleras. We have been coming here for a number of summers and it only seems to get better. In my view, this is definitely Michelin star quality cooking in a fabulous outdoor setting.
