A shaded terrace
sheltered from the Provençal sun
In Lorgues, push open the door of an 1780 house: behind the façade, a shaded terrace and a hidden garden where a handful of tables nestle beneath a magnificent olive tree. The perfect setting for a cool lunch, in the heart of the Var.
Lunch in the cool, when the Var heats up
The Provençal summer has character. We answer it with shade: that of the plane trees, the cascading bougainvillea and the great olive tree watching over the garden. Beneath the leaves, the heat drops and lunch can linger.
You settle in for good, share some tapas and let the afternoon drift by. It's the setting of a true Provençal restaurant — a refined table, a warm atmosphere, rated 4.7/5 across more than 610 reviews.
In the shade, we take our time.
A shady corner no one would suspect from the street
Behind the house, the hidden garden: just a handful of tables, set in the shade of the olive tree, the song of the cicadas the only soundtrack. On the patio, a shaded bench invites a Provençal siesta. Absolute calm, in the cool, in the heart of the village.
Attentive service, in the shade of the tables
On the terrace, you settle in without rushing. Warm, fuss-free service that knows the day's menu inside out — it changes every week, France & World fusion, homemade.
On Friday lunchtime, chef Benjamin creates a menu at €16. In the evening, it's tapas to share under the string lights: the journey carries on into the cool of the night.
Welcome, settle in.
Why our shaded terrace in the Var
Under the plane trees
At the front, the terrace shelters beneath the leaves: bright in the morning, cool in the heat of the day, ideal for a business lunch or a family meal.
The garden under the olive tree
At the back, just a few tables, nestled in the shade of the great olive tree. Our favourite spot for a meal that lingers, far from the bustle.
The patio, in the cool
A Mediterranean bench and a relaxation corner sheltered from the sun, for a tapas aperitif or a drink in the cool as evening falls.
