La Table de Xavier Mathieu

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Mediterranean Cuisine

Raised in Marseille, Xavier Mathieu is a true-blue Provençal lad. He was introduced to the world of haute cuisine by master chef, Roger Vergé, a family friend. He went on to complete his apprenticeship with Joël Robuchon in Paris, before returning to the splendid family home nestling in the Luberon scrubland. The chef, who sports a distinctive shock of white hair, breathes new life into Provençal culinary traditions, giving each dish a new twist on its original form.

Les Bories

€€€Modern Cuisine

In Luberon, “bories” are dry-stone huts built by and for shepherds and they inspired the architecture of this farmstead on the road to Sénanque Abbey. Overlooking sweet-scented scrubland, the grounds and gardens provide the foundation of the scrumptious provençal-focused cuisine, which showcases regional produce such as Sisteron lamb and Mediterranean fish without forgetting fruit and veg from Luberon.

Domitia - Maison de Cuisinier

€€Farm to table

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. His subtly innovative take on fine dining is based on a rigorous selection of local ingredients. The same goes for the wines.

La Bartavelle

€€Provençal

Located in a picturesque Luberon village, this small but charming family business is run by an experienced couple. In a bid to ensure the dishes attain optimum quality, the chef offers a deliberately limited menu.
