加莱酒店餐厅

Set in deepest Provence, Mane is both picturesque and steeped in history, which is also true of the 17C Couvent des Minimes, whose admirable restoration has retained its period charm. This provençal Arcadia is home to a luxury hotel, with swimming pool, spa and a fine dining restaurant, named after Louis Feuillée, Louis XIV's botanist, who was born in the village. The kitchens are masterfully run by Louis Gachet, MOF 2023, who seamlessly navigates between his native Burgundy and Provence. Bold dishes and exquisite sauces exemplify the creative consummate culinary talent of this virtuoso chef.

This restaurant, a former mill, stands at the foot of the village’s iconic pointed rock formation. It serves fish and seafood specialities (bouillabaisse to order). The interior sports a modern vibe, offset by an old mill wheel that adds a characterful note to the décor.

In addition to his fine dining restaurant, chef Louis Gachet lovingly oversees this upscale bistro. The space is soothing and relaxing, plus there is a dining room-cum-terrace, whose picture windows are opened fully in fine weather. The menu is a skilful blend of traditional favourites and contemporary dishes with a smattering of Provençal touches.
