Gault&Millau's review

13/20
Chef's Restaurant A little before Le Sambuc, the place is so discreet that it's hard to spot the long path lined with flowering laurel trees that leads to the elegant white mas amidst the trees. Jacques Bon and Lucille turned this 17th-century residence into a charming hotel. Their son Frédéric and his wife continue the same philosophy. We're in the heart of the Camargue, in the emblematic manade where bulls and white horses graze. A chic atmosphere for lunch under the canisses, and in the evening in the beautiful dining room with its uncluttered decor. Since the departure of Grégory Brousse, the mas has been collecting chefs. Let's take a look at the latest, which is certainly not lacking in interest. Colombian chef Juan Ipuz's travel-inspired cuisine combines classic Camargue dishes with a touch of the exotic. The citrus-crusted lean lobster arancini with bell pepper escabeche is a perfect match for the bull tomahawk with seasonal vegetables. A delicious sauce of tiger leche, fennel, red onion pickles, coriander, garlic, lemon and passion fruit juice. The bull carpaccio is beautifully tender, with a powerful taste enhanced by croutons and cubes of tomato gel. With a glass of Mas de Valériole "Cham Cham" Terre de Camargue (€9 a glass), with notes of ripe lemon, acacia and raisin, we praise the irreproachable fillet of bass cooked on one side on a plancha, the skin crisp, the flesh pearly, which is accompanied by a simple sauce vierge. For dessert, there's a choice between exotic rum baba and apricot declension, nicely dome-shaped like a panna cotta (a little bland), made up for by an effective apricot concentrate and coulis and a vanilla verbena ice cream. A place of serenity that promotes the art of living.
