"What a gem ! If you are travelling in the Languedoc this summer, near to the Lac de Salagou, Clermont L'Herault or the mythical Cirque de Moureze, the restaurant Chez Eva at Moureze is a real gem.First, its location : adjacent to the celebrated Cirque de Moureze, it is a very very convenient stop-off point for geologists, geographers, anthropologists or simply walkers, ramblers, or tourists, for a beer, a coffee, lunch or dinner.Second, its site : in the medieval village of Moureze, it is situated on the principal road through this quiet, small but picturesque village. The restaurant is primarily outside in the garden in a haven of greenery, complemented by a patchwork of pebbles and stonework. Shaded from the blue sky of Provence by some large trees, there are a multitude of pastel coloured parasols to provide further added protection and the slight difference in levels provides a further intimate attraction (not inconvenient - see below wheelchairs).I passed by twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. The teams offering service had changed for the evening but both were welcoming, friendly, polite and professional. Eva offers both a 3-course fixed menu (with 2 choices) at 18 euros, an a la carte menu including vegetarian. I chose the a la carte menu on both occasions sampling for lunch the "seiches a la plancha" (17 euros) (squid done in a butter garlic sauce) accompanied by a cassolette of moules, sorry mussels, aioli and a side salad, washed down by 2 beers. With a small tip included, I left 25 euros. In the evening I again opted for an "a la carte fish" ( steaks, duck and salads along with pizzas are also available ) choosing the "gambas persillees au whisky" (gambas in parsley flambeed in whisky ) accompanied by rice and a creamy mayonnaise and a side salad. This time I quenched my thirst with a half litre of rose ( I can recommend Les Roses Domaine Farrieres at 12 euros ). However most of Eva's wine selection comes from the local vineyards and are normally of good quality, on average at 17 euros a bottle ( these are not Parisian prices !) or there are high quality wines en carafe at 12 euros a litre. I left 35 euros ( gambas at 20 euros, my wine at 12 euros and a small tip). All in all this was very very good value for money !I was not tempted by the starters nor the desserts (eg creme brulee, crumble, death by chocolate) but there is a wide choice of both.If you are lucky, Eva, the owner / hostess will prise herself away from the kitchen at the end of the evening and you will be entranced by her warm, magical and welcoming smile along with her English !This is a real gem. What's more not only are the location, site, welcome, service and food very good but toilets can often make or break a place. These are very bright, very clean and if required a discreet baby's nappy-changing area is available. The ultimate is that Eva has installed a Dyson Blade Hand-dryer. That is a recommendation in itself for any toilets in a French restaurant !Wheelchairs represent no problem as was demonstrated last night ... and should the blue sky of Provence give way at short notice to the summer storm there is suitable undercover accommodation.Try it ! A real gem ! C'est genial !Mike, Wales"

We thought this would be a nice place to stop and have a drink after our hike in Moureze. This was by far the worst service I have had in France. The waitress was very unfriendly, unprofessional and took forever just to greet us (which was more of a "why are you bothering me" attitude. It's too bad the service is so bad here. There is a very nice atmosphere. Don't waste your money here. You will only be writing a negative review after.

We stopped here for a quick lunch before visiting the imposing Cirque de Mourèze, thinking of a sandwich. We were surprised by the range of choices for a small, road-side cafe. We chose a salad, with fresh pieces of chicken in batter. Very nice! And a lovely local rosé, a gris. Service a little slow, because only the chef and a single waitress, but very pleasant. Andyguck must have arrived with an attitude, but Mike D. has said it all; we concur heartily!

Tonight was our second visit to this little gem of a village restaurant serving delicious local food. Thankfully, it was open as there was nothing else available on a Sunday evening! Chez Eva provides an eclectic menu supported by good regional wines, and the restaurant was surprisingly full this evening - or, unsurprisingly given the lovely food. The Magret de Canard was perfectly cooked, followed by a petit Creme Brûlée with espresso. Highly recommended.

We stopped here mid-way through a bike ride for some lunch. The venue had been recommended to us and didn't disappoint.Eva herself welcomed us, explained the menu and took our orders, carefully looking after my vegetarian fiancée and providing a variation on their vegetarian assiette to accommodate personal preferences. The house special steak tartare (with chips) was great and replenished some much-needed energy!Was clearly popular with a mix of locals and tourists - would happily go again if in the area (depending on what other options there are to explore)!

Our first meal out in Moureze didn't disappoint. At Chez Eva we received a warm welcome and managed to navigate the menu, despite our very limited French. All selections were delicious and served with a smile by Eva's daughter and her cousin.Dishes selected included Salmon rillettes, Foie Gras, Meat platter, Steaks, with great wine. Three courses for eight people came in at 330 Euros - not the cheapest meal ever but certainly not the most expensive either. The setting is beautiful and on the evening of our visit we were entertained by a four piece band. Chez Eva's is not to be missed if you are in the area.

Went to Mourèze for one week and were there during the festival.The surroundings are beautiful and during the day are always plenty of visitors to visit the Cirque which gives the village a nice atmosphere. During the festival this continued at night.We visited the restaurant several times and enjoyed the nice food but even more the pleasant service. Eva and her staff made sure everybody was well served but also took the time to talk and make you feel at home whenever they had some time.Spent an evening there with jazz music (Jazz Box) which gave the place an even more idyllic feel.If I'm in the neighborhood again I will surely visit the restaurant again.

We were staying at the hotel 500meters walk away. And it was well worth the walk. Very quaint with plenty of outside seating, the restaurant can be opened to the weather during the day. Beautiful setting. Our host had a wonderful smile and no English but did produce an English version of the menu. We both started with a green salad with raw mushrooms, lovely and fresh. Then entrecôte steak for me followed by chocolate fondant and for him 'what the chef feels like' for the vegetarian, basically a tapas type plate including gazpacho, omelette and salsa (he loved it) and then lemon sorbet. Wonderful meal, and then a waitress came on who spoke such good English, we couldn't believe she was Frenc...
