Ropanicea - Bagnols-en-Forêt

I'm no snob, but this was really bad! All food was under cooked exept pasta which was over cooked. Kitchen looks like worst case from kitchen nightmare. Afraid I'm getting food poisoned, seriously wish I had skipped it and gone home and eaten some dry bread - I'm totally serious, stay away. Nice location though..

The name of this restaurant derives from the initials (or first two letters) of the names if several members of the family who run it; that should tell you a great deal. We were met on a sunny terrace with one of the warmest welcomes that we have encountered in France. From the chalk-written 'try our home made Sangria' sign to the local honey pots, from the display bottles of locally-produced beer to the potted plants so recently watered that you have to step over the puddles, this place is about as far from a "McDonald's" as it is possible to get. The choice of dishes is possibly too extensive (and as a vegetarian, I don't often get to say that); there are salads, pasta, pizza, crepes and for the carnivores steaks et al (we opted for salads and a pasta dish, all of which were delicious). The choice of wine, however, is reassuringly simple - you can choose from 'this local wine', 'that local wine', or 'this new local wine that we're trying out'. This is not haute cusine (it's not even 'moyen cuisine'), this is well-prepared, well-presented, family cuisine served with a glint-in-the-eye that you rarely find anywhere, let alone in France. I'd eat there again tomorrow, and maybe again the day after.

Lovely place with a great view from the terrace, friendly personal and probably the best food in Bagnols-en-Forêt.

Really lovely restaurant in a beautiful setting and we were made to feel very welcome straight away. We were brought great spicy olives with our drinks. I had a goat's cheese crêpe and my husband had a spicy pizza, both delicious. We shared an ice cream, huge and also delicious and ended with coffees. Food and drinks (4 beers & coffees) 50€. Would revisit without hesitation.

A family friendly and informal restaurant. Great ice creams and the salads are lovely, loads of variety of veg and fruit and huge. The owner and her waiting staff are very friendly and welcoming.

Very friendly staff and great view.I enjoyed my food but kids said their pasta was a bit bland and tasteless, might have been a one off. Wasn't the cheapest meal I've had on holiday but not the most expensive either ! Would consider revisit next year for the views

Imagine a Nicoise with deep dark lovely tuna and tons of vegetables perfectly dressed, a lettuce and apple salad with fried chicken livers--you cannot believe all the creative salads and how good and fresh they are. Make this a stop around or through Bagnols en Foret.

Called in on a Sunday afternoon for crepes and coffee. The crepes were lovely. It's a small and quaint place, beautiful view on the terrace. Lovely service.
