La Petite Maison de Cucuron

★ Michelin€€€Classic Cuisine

This "petite maison" imbued with a genteel Provençal charm and recognisable by its yellow façade is the stomping ground of chef Éric Sapet. He elevates market ingredients like no other: mushrooms, including truffles, to which he dedicates a set menu in season, vegetables from local market gardeners, Provençal cheeses, game and also shellfish. A devoted gourmet and wine-lover, Sapet already has a solid career to his name and delivers classic Provençal cuisine rife with flavours. Be aware that the restaurant often gets fully booked.

Insitio

€€Modern Cuisine

Arkhé (or arche) means both beginning, origin and principle – the Italian-born chef from Milan hasn’t forgotten his Greek philosophy classes! The menu changes weekly but you may taste “surprise” egg with courgettes and verbena; saddle of rabbit with artichokes and fresh mint followed by roast apricot with lavender honey and vanilla ice cream. Flanked by a shaded terrace overlooking the square of this delightful village in which a fountain plays, the location could not be more idyllic, and, who knows, maybe give us time to ponder the origin of taste…
