Résidence Les Petitons

Slices of Mediterranean dentex served raw, caraway, cauliflower and elderberry vinegar; Camargue bull, oyster tartare from the Étang de Thau and salicornia-pistachio pesto: there's no doubt that chef Jérôme Faure has a masterful understanding of gourmet cuisine.

This restaurant has an incredible location at the foot of the famous fountain from which the Sorgue river springs, and it certainly knows how to play on its bucolic charms. Father and daughter (the house has been in the family since 1926) offer a cuisine that plays the traditional card. Smiling and efficient service. Booking is obligatory in season.
