Fodor's Review:

For total Van Gogh immersion, have lunch in the restaurant he patronized regularly more than 100 years ago, in the building where he finally expired. The EUR 39, three-course menu changes regularly, with saddle of lamb and homemade terrine among Loran Jattufo's specialties, but it's the genius loci that makes eating here special, with glasswork, lace curtains, and wall blandishments carefully modeled on the original designs. Table No. 5, the "table des habitués," is where Van Gogh used to sit. A magnificently illustrated book, Van Gogh's Table (published by Artisan), by culinary historian Alexandra Leaf and art historian Fred Leeman, recalls Vincent's stay at the Auberge and describes in loving detail the dishes served there at the time.
