Gault&Millau's review 2026

17,5/20
Prestige Restaurant
On the table, to your right, you’ll notice two pieces of silverware and an artisan knife, whose sleek silhouette mimics that of a ship’s hull. This image encapsulates Fabien Ferré’s cuisine—part classic, part contemporary. Classic in the excellence of its technique and in its aesthetics—an academic tradition in the best sense of the word—and contemporary in the inventiveness and elegance of its compositions. This magnificent Provençal inn overlooks the valley and serves as the setting for a rare gastronomic experience, where land and sea come together with infinite delicacy. The chef impresses with dishes that are seemingly simple yet profoundly complex, skillfully capturing the essence of the ingredients and bringing them to life, both in time and space. There’s a perfectly seared mackerel, the lingering warmth on the palate of the flesh confit in jalapeño oil, the smoothness of a velvety sauce made from lightly toasted almonds, and the tang of pickled cucumber. Then there’s the exceptional squid Provençal-style, a masterpiece of simplicity and precision, featuring firm, dense squid, this very earthy take on the dish with a reduced chicken broth, infused with marjoram and basil, which you’ll naturally want to mop up with the fennel-seed and garlic brioche served at the start of the meal. The oxidatively aged John Dory has a certain Jura-like quality, with that small bed of mushrooms hidden beneath the leaves, the John Dory simply roasted in butter, and that magnificent sauce made with oxidatively aged wine from the Domaine de la Bastide Blanche, Estagnol cuvée. We must also mention the red mullet, prepared in the style of a “lièvre à la royale,” with a sauce (always the sauces) made from the fish’s offal—the mullet’s liver blended with foie gras—and an elegant ravioli of celeriac and blackcurrant. The desserts round out the meal without missing a beat. You’ll also be invited to explore the wine cellar guide, a five-volume collection featuring an extensive selection from across the country. Impeccable service.
