Saint-Rémy-de-Provence

Chapeau de Paille

This is the place to go for authentic Provençal dishes, like le grand aïoli, anchoïade, and hearty local lamb. The service is friendly and efficient and the wine list is well-chosen. My favorite place in St-Rémy. Click to learn more

À la Table de Nicolas

Excellent food from a master restauranteur. The chef’s daughter can’t eat gluten so he really understands food intolerances and preferences (vegan, etc.) Click to learn more
