we drove to 07130 Saint-Peray, and had lunch at La Grappe d’Or. This is a small, unique restaurant that serves a delicious, excellently prepared lunch menu. The wine menu is attractive with a great selection of local wines.
Lunch at Restaurant La Grappe d'Or in Saint-Peray
We had the menu du jour, with a white wine from the region.
La Grappe d'Or: La grappe d'or ré-ouvre ses portes, avec une carte plus large, imaginée dans le souhait de retrouver le goût des saisons. Aux commandes de la cuisine se trouve notre chef Pierre Yves Jacques Sébastien, il vous propose une cuisine traditionnelle de produits frais. La carte des vins a été soigneusement élaborée par le maitre de maison, les équilibres sont justes avec les plats proposés. Les amateurs de Champagne pourront découvrir la maison Cattier en 1er cru Brut Antique et Rosé. Notre carte se renouvelle tous les 2 mois, en fonction du marché et du calendrier. Tous nos plats sont élaborés dans notre cuisine, n'hésitez pas lors de vos réservations à nous faire part de vos besoins d'aménagements de plats pour raisons diverses et variées.

Tripadvisor: We were in the Rhone River area visiting friends-they had heard of this restaurant in the neighboring village so we stopped in(check the hours they serve). We were greeted by a gentleman who proceeded to explain the menu, took our drink orders and returned to serve them. He then took our meal orders and "disappeared." There were 2 other tables with customers and he would appear at times to check on them. A little later he returned with our orders and we discovered he was the chef as well!! It Kind of seemed like we had walked into his home for dinner :-). The atmosphere is very personal in this small restaurant, very unique with not many tables but very fresh, light and open. The Wine menu is small but diverse and the menu is limited to a few dishes that are prepared fresh with local produce. A very wonderful, comfortable experience. The food was excellently prepared and very appealingly presented. Abundant and very filling. We all decided on the same dish and I have attached photos...It tasted as great as it looks! Our friends who live in the area have been here another time and enjoyed the peaceful environment and meal. Kudos to the Chef! If by some chance you are in this region give this very lovely restaurant a try.
Formule du Midi
We had the formule di midi with 3 courses.
Bye-bye
Thanks Chef Pierre Yves Jacques Sébastien for a fantastic lunch. Bye-bye.
