"Le Jardin de Berne is undoubtedly our favorite Michelin-starred restaurant for 2024. We were expecting friendly Provençal cuisine, but this dinner went well above our expectations. Louis Rameau's cuisine is infinitely precise, tasty and sincere. This dinner (October 2024) at the Michelin-starred restaurant of the Château de Berne (where we had an excellent stay) was truly a memorable experience, surpassing all our expectations. As soon as we arrived, we were seduced by the exceptional setting: nestled in the heart of the Provencal vineyards, this place exudes elegance and serenity. The view is splendid, and the decor refined and refined. The dining room team was able to welcome us with professionalism and delicacy (a constant during this meal) and every detail of the service is thought of to make us feel privileged. Thanks to them. In terms of cuisine, Louis Rameau offers a true ode to Provence. Each dish highlights local and seasonal products, sublimated with remarkable creativity. The cuisine is frank, direct without ever betraying the essence of Provençal flavors. And the balance of textures and tastes on each plate is perfectly mastered. What we liked was the readability of the plates. No frills here, what is announced is found on the plate and in the mouth. It’s frank, delicate and without unnecessary pretentious folklore around. Huge favorite for the trout poached in olive oil mushroom gnocchi (a marvel of sweetness), the leek cooked twice with anchovies (divine) and the remarkable olive dessert from pastry chef Eric Raynal , high-flying! The menu/card presented to you is in itself a very beautiful object which highlights all the values of the house. A unique, sincere and very appreciable approach. From the ceramist responsible for tableware, to the Provençal producers/suppliers, to the market gardening approach of the house, their production of cheese, honey... the emphasis is on the good, the local, the virtuous. No wonder the restaurant also won a green macaron, demonstrating a committed and responsible approach to gastronomy. Also worth mentioning is the very fine wine list, which obviously gives pride of place to local wines. And thank you to the sommelier for her very good suggestion. In short, this restaurant is much more than a simple meal, it is an immersion in the Provençal art of living, enhanced by an enchanting setting and high-end cuisine. An essential address for gastronomy lovers looking for authenticity and refinement. And without a doubt, soon to be double-starred (it would be more than deserved). We left the Château de Berne enchanted and impatient to return for a new culinary discovery."

"We decided to have dinner on Jan 2 in Lorgues, which was not an easy task as most of the restaurants are either closed for the winter or simply closed on a tuesday. We found Les Planches and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the service very friendly. It was a bit cold in the tent outside but they provided us with blankets. We ordered veal kidneys, a steak and a grilled dorade. Each of the plates was elegantly dressed and tasted very good. We will definitely recommend this to our friends and guests. Btw, the prices were very moderate for this location."

"Original cuisine. Been to a few restaurants in Lorgues and around, but le Chrissandier distinguishes in their menu, taste and ingredients. Fish as starter and both entrecote and chicken for main are highly recommended. Service was friendly and prompt. So we are not recognizing the improvement points on the earlier reviews below. If you have prefer just a daily platter, skip this restaurant. If you like a nice evening out with good food, a little above average budget around, sufficient choices from the menu and proper service: take this pick !"

"Nous sommes retournés dans cet établissement de renommée mais la dernière (et ce sera certainement la dernière !) expérience n'a pas relevé le niveau de la première fois. Cuisine vraiment moyenne pour un établissement de ce standing. Ce n'est pas parce qu'on n'est pas au restaurant gastronomique, qu'on doit servir de la cuisine aussi insipide. Aucune originalité et dans l'ensemble plutôt cher. Alors qu'il y aurait moyen certainement de faire une carte un peu plus originale avec des produits frais et goûteux. Les cuissons n'étaient pas non plus au top !"
