Urban Style Blason du Ventoux

In this restaurant located in a town that is a mecca for antiques dealers, diners are in good hands! Talented chef Romain Gandolphe brings delicacy and subtlety to his carefully crafted dishes, with a focus on both flavours and textures. Sit in the contemporary dining space with an inviting decor, or on the terrace overlooking the River Sorgue and its lush green banks – a real feast for the eyes. Attentive service and an interesting selection of regional wines.

Chef Charlène Estevão's discreet little restaurant is just a stone's throw from the covered market and Porte Notre-Dame. Having learnt the ropes under Christian Sinicropi, Lionel Lévy and Coline Faulquier, she devises a market-based set menu at lunchtime and a single multi-course set menu in the evening. Her modern cuisine, inspired by her travels, reveals Mediterranean notes and makes subtle use of spices. Her take on pissaladière deserves a special mention: a warm tartlet of caramelised onions, anchovy cream, airy onion espuma, black olive powder, pickles and onion gel. It has all the hallma

The owners of the fine dining Le Vivier establishment were happily inspired when they opened this bistro, blessed with a double terrace, in the heart of the Carré des Arts du Luberon. From his open-plan kitchen, the chef rustles up a forthright, modern take on traditional bistro recipes, in addition to nibbles with pre-dinner drinks and choice ingredients grilled on a binchotan barbecue (aged rib of beef, squid, presa iberica, etc.). A concise selection of regional (but not only) wines adds the finishing touch to an excellent, sun-drenched meal…

In a pedestrian area, just opposite the old church, which has been turned into a cultural centre, this former grocery store is now a charming little restaurant. Sustainable agriculture is favoured, with well - packed dishes: for example, the beef carpaccio, slipper lobster jus, marinated seaweed and oyster fritters.

Clinging to the ramparts of a historical village, this Maison is the quintessence of Provençal art de vivre. The chef crafts vibrant, flavoursome dishes, such as a supreme of free-range poultry, sweet corn and different textures of parsnip, together with a lineup of wickedly addictive, decadent desserts. Superlative sweeping view over Mont Ventoux and the Luberon mountain range from the terrace.

In a peaceful village, this small square basking in the shade of the church is the quintessence of rural France. The chef uses local ingredients whenever possible: trout, strawberries, figs, cheese, vegetables… Seasonal food served in a pleasant conservatory-cum-workshop interior.

This cleverly named restaurant (a pun on côteaux meaning hills and couteaux meaning knives) is housed in an old wine cellar. The region is well represented both by the delicious cuisine and by the excellent choice of local wines. Pleasant, contemporary decor and a terrace overlooking the vineyards.
