L'Oustau de Baumanière
Creative · ★★★ Michelin
€€€€
A tremendous ambassador of the Mediterranean art de vivre, the Provençal country estate of Baumanière promises a uniquely tranquil, bucolic and elegant experience – this location has captivated artists and celebrities for decades. Within these centuries-old walls, chef Glenn Viel (now a judge on French TV's Top Chef) is clearly enjoying an increasing sense of freedom in his cooking. He draws inspiration for his Mediterranean fare from the wealth of local produce (olive oil from the Vallée des Baux, organic vegetables from the estate's own garden, chicken and pork) but also remains true to the

L'Aupiho - Domaine de Manville
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Set in a luxury hotel complete with a golf course, spa and pool, L’Aupiho pays a vibrant tribute to regional traditions, which is hardly surprising given its location at the foot of the Alpilles and the Baux… This passion for Provence is embodied by a youthful Belgian chef, Lieven Van Aken, who kicked off his career in Brussels before working under Michel Guérard. His recipes are meticulous, but they are also bold and powerful: vegetarian bouillabaisse, saffron rouille; smoked and grilled sweetbread, tartare of seaweed and Mediterranean langoustines. Century-old plane trees set the refreshing

L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy - Fanny Rey & Jonathan Wahid
Modern Cuisine · ★★ Michelin
€€€€
Chef Fanny Rey is at the helm in the kitchen of this grand old Auberge located on the beltway and the old ramparts of this pretty town. In a snazzy designer decor (a curved white ceiling, exposed stone walls, artwork by Francis Guerrier), she skilfully cooks up lyrical market-fresh cuisine, wholeheartedly elevating the ingredients of the Alpilles in set menus with seafood and plants as a common thread. Her partner Jonathan Wahid, an accomplished pastry chef – former French champion –, knows exactly how to showcase the delicious sun-drenched produce of the South of France, such as figs and stra

Le Bistrot du Paradou
Provençal
€€€
This inviting restaurant with blue shutters is a genuine local landmark. Telephone (only) bookings compulsory. The dish of the day changes daily, but comes back every week – e.g. cassoulet on Wednesdays, in the single set menu. On top of that, Provence's culinary repertory is celebrated with generous wholesome dishes, of the likes of aioli, spit-roast Bresse chicken and calf's head with ravigote sauce, to be devoured in a lively and laid-back vibe cultivated by the bubbly, unstarched front-of-house team. Wine and a generous cheeseboard are included in the price of the single set menu.

La Table de Tourrel
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
This handsome 17C mansion was where Charles Gounod played the first bars of his opera, Mireille, to Frédéric Mistral, author of the poem that inspired the libretto. In a flavoursome echo of this prestigious past, the venue’s modern-day chef orchestrates a gourmet score, inspired in this case by the regional pantry: fish from Grau-du-Roi, trout from Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Mont Ventoux pork and lamb from la Crau… The menu, packed in Provençal melodies, is served at a communal table d’hôtes against a backdrop of bare stone walls that set a friendly, cosy tone. The rooftop terrace, which commands vie

Allegria !
Provençal
€€€
In this luxury hamlet of maisonettes with guestrooms surrounded by olive and almond trees, tables are set out on the terrace in the shade of the plane trees, with the song of the cicadas in the background, and in the inviting dining room where it is nice and cool. Chef Julie Chaix, who has worked at Pic and Ducasse restaurants, prepares a lovely market-fresh menu inspired by the ingredients and traditions of Provence. Diners can indulge themselves with dishes such as pork terrine with bread toasted in meat juices and olive oil from Baux-de-Provence, pan-fried tuna with aubergine and a tomato r

Bec
Modern Cuisine
€€€
Established in an old Provençal farmhouse standing in the shadow of a small church and fronted by a pretty courtyard, this restaurant run by a young couple serves fresh modern cuisine with international influences. Lovers of fine food will appreciate the Mediterranean score scattered with Italian nods, dear to the heart of the Italian-born chef: tomatoes, burrata and basil; monkfish, spinach and bisque of Mediterranean blue crab. To be savoured in the inviting rustic-style interior or alfresco on the lush terrace planted with oleanders and Virginia creeper. Your hostess and owner of Sardinian

La Cabro d'Or
Provençal
€€€€
Chef Michel Hulin crafts generous provençal fare using first-rate ingredients from Alpilles and Camargue, illustrated by hot-cold Mediterranean squid cooked like a bouillabaisse or the incredible roast lamb, confit then smoked in AOP Crau hay, courgette flower and parsnips from Moulin de Daudet… The site is jaw-dropping with a terrace shaded by mulberry plane trees and a view over the jagged skyline that has made this enchanting village and its countryside so famous. Thoroughly enchanting.
