A Provençal setting they don't make anymore,
in the heart of the Var
Push open the door of an 1780 house in Lorgues: a shaded terrace, a hidden garden beneath the olive tree and curated lounges. The setting of a true Provençal restaurant, in the green Provence.
A Provençal home with a soul
In the heart of Lorgues, our walls are more than two centuries old. This 1780 house, once a church house, has kept its serenity: weathered stone, generous volumes, the coolness of old Provençal buildings.
Bougainvillea cascading down the façade, shutters in the colours of Provence, cicadas in the background — you step inside as you would open a travel journal.
A setting, not just a restaurant
In the shade of the olive tree, time slows down
Behind the house, a garden no one would suspect from the street. Just a handful of tables, beneath a magnificent olive tree, a bougainvillea and the song of the cicadas.
On the terrace, you settle in for good: attentive, warm service, a glass of Provence rosé, a lunch that lingers in the Var sunshine.
Settle in, we've got time
Curated lounges where the evening lingers
Past the threshold, the mood turns soft: leather sofas, a marble table, works by local artists and objects brought back from elsewhere. You have a drink, you share some tapas, you stay a little longer than planned.
