Le Bistrot de Villedieu
Laurent Azoulay cooks up Provençal cuisine channelling the spirit of a local bistro: beautiful stuffed tomatoes, Camargue rice with Nyons olives; Provençal-style pieds et paquets (mutton tripe and feet), mashed potatoes with olive oil. The fragrant, carefully prepared dishes are full of character, and some are cooked in the wood-burning oven of the open kitchen. The space has a contemporary bistro-style aesthetic; on sunny days, nab a table on the shaded terrace in the village square. Guestrooms are available for overnight stays.

Le Bistrot de Villedieu is situated in a charming square in Buisson, Provence, offering shaded seating under large plane trees. The food receives mixed reviews; many praise the traditional, seasonal, and inventive local cuisine, while others find it mediocre or disappointing. Service is generally described as warm and attentive, though occasional lapses in communication and coldness have been noted. The wine list is extensive and fairly priced. While the ambiance is consistently highlighted as a major strength, the culinary experience varies. It suits travelers seeking a picturesque setting and authentic regional flavors, provided they manage expectations regarding consistency.
Ideal for diners seeking a picturesque Provençal setting and outdoor seating, with advance booking confirmation recommended.
