Restaurant Pierre Grein

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Provençal

Venture into the business park and make your way to this handsome contemporary establishment – you won’t regret it! In a spacious, comfortable conservatory-cum-dining room, chef Pierre Grein curates a modern score of Provençal leaning, steeped in delicacy and high-flying technique: gnocchis with girolles, cream of mushroom soup; local squab roasted whole with fluffy dauphinoise potatoes; a trompe l’œil strawberry and pistachio tart… The sauces and jus deserve a special mention, as does the slick, friendly service.

Bib Gourmand 1

Chez Bastien

Bib Gourmand€€Modern Cuisine

Here in the historical centre of the village, Manosque native Bastien Delgado invites diners to sample his generous modern cuisine that is strongly rooted in Provence. Trained at Dominique Bucaille, he has honed a taste for meat, particularly calf sweetbreads; his time at La Bastide de Moustiers (Alain Ducasse), meanwhile, has influenced his use of vegetables, a prominent feature on his menu. His menu-carte is excellent value for money and showcases refined, fragrant and creative cuisine: semi-cooked tuna with wild garlic, or verbena and peach clafoutis with citrus fruits and almonds.

The menu features a choice of dishes as well as a set menu without options. The chef's enthusiasm is palpable in his seasonal bistronomy creations, which are really well done and sit alongside the good old bistro classics: truffle croque monsieur, Carnaroli risotto inspired by the Cre
