Mas des Lys

The luxurious Terre Blanche estate is home to this restaurant that boasts an exclusive, plush, almost timeless feel and a terrace overlooking the countryside that is exquisite at sunset. Chef Quentin André, former second chef, shines the spotlight on the Var region by way of delicately crafted cuisine embodied by outstanding ingredients: baby veg from Tourves, line-caught fish from St Raphaël, Vidauban poultry, cheese from the Var, without forgetting fresh herbs from the cottage garden. This mouth-watering score is embodied by swordfish jazzed up by vibrant jus of carrots, rum and Hyères curcu

Tomato and mozzarella puff pastry tart, green tomato sorbet and basil vinaigrette; fillet of sea bream, vegetable tian and a warm caper vinaigrette; apricot compote with vanilla, semolina biscuit and pistachio ice cream… The delicious dishes served by this charming couple exude Mediterranean vibes. An excellent, wallet-friendly place!

The restaurant has an elegant, contemporary decor and a terrace beneath the plane trees. The setting is enticing, and the food even more so. Flowers, spices, herbs and the chef's personal touches bring together tradition and generosity.

La Villa Mauresque, a magical five-star oasis that is the epitome of comfort and luxury, boasts a poolside terrace set in an exotic garden and jaw-dropping sea views. It is an idyllic spot to sample Mediterranean-leaning cuisine rich in crisp, legible flavours and razor-sharp technique, which shines the spotlight on first-rate local produce, in particular fish and vegetables.

Quentin and Hermance Joplet are at the helm of this family business in a refurbished house, whose open kitchen backs onto a splendid terrace, which, in turn, commands a knockout view over the valley and the walled village of Fayence. The food is steeped in the colours and flavours of Provence and inspired by the market and the seasons, with dishes such as fillet of Mediterranean meagre, panisse and seasonal vegetables, or fig tart, almond cream and red berry sorbet. The attentive service is tailored to each guest. A handful of guestrooms should you wish to stay overnight.

This former silkworm farm near the road serves an appetising score that changes daily in a bid to shine the spotlight on fresh regional produce. The culinary score reflects the attentive, meticulous personality of the chef: scrambled eggs with truffles, fillet of bream, leeks, Swiss chard, green peas and a lobster emulsion with a tempting citrus fruit tart and a vanilla and lime mousse to finish. Intelligent selection of well-priced regional tipples and attentive service, whether on the terrace shaded by plane trees or in one of two dining rooms done up in a chic, contemporary Provençal vein.

This updated, airy Provençal inn outside town provides the perfect foil for generous, throbbingly good Mediterranean food. Examples include a mouthwatering breast of guinea fowl and truffles with girolles and a millefeuille of potatoes. Served on a pretty patio in fine weather.
