L’Ostal is a Provencal restaurant rooted in history and tradition celebrating the cuisines of Southern France & its boundaries. Stemming from the old Occitania language, the word ‘ostal’ refers to house & the warmth of hospitality that encompasses welcoming one into your home. Throughout the six dialects of this language starting in Catalonia, stretching through the Languedoc into Provence and onto the Alps of Piemonte, they all embrace this welcoming through their cooking. We celebrate the traditions of each country through their amazing cuisine as well as showcasing the wine and heritage of indigenous products. We look forward to bringing our warmth in hospitality & dining to the great community of Darien, Connecticut. Welcome to our home at L’Ostal.

The food is very authentic especially the Southern Indian dishes. The staff are very courteous and attentive. The tandoori chicken and rack of lamb were outstanding . That cauliflower and okra were delicious. That mango lassi was well made and refreshing. We (5 adults and two children} celebrated my grand daughters birthday . They were very accommodating . we were given several containers and a convenient bag for left overs. This was not my first visit and it will not be my last either!!
