A gourmet stopover among the vines, fifteen minutes from Vidauban
Vidauban, its estates and its Côtes de Provence: a few minutes' drive away, Lorgues carries on the same landscape of vines and villages. It's here, on avenue Allongue, that Carnets de Voyage opens the doors of a house built in 1780.
You lunch beneath the plane trees, you dine in a hidden garden: the setting of a true Provençal restaurant, with a refined table and a warm atmosphere — rated 4.7/5 across more than 610 reviews. Notre maison compte parmi les lorgues restaurants où l’on vient dîner sous les platanes.
Provence, at the table.
Vidauban is part of our journey
Our address reaches across the whole green Provence: people come from Vidauban and the neighbouring villages to sit at our table. To place the restaurant on the scale of the département, start with our pillar page:
Fusion tapas to share, in the evening
In the evening the service changes shape: tapas to share, set down in the middle of the table. You pick, you taste, you order again whatever went down best — a meal that lasts and gets talked about, rather than a run of individual plates.
Every mouthful keeps the same bearing: a French anchor, then a twist from elsewhere — a spice, a technique, an unexpected pairing. And for those who'd rather have their own plate, the butcher's cut and its homemade fries stay on the menu.
We share, we order again.
The hidden garden, as the light fades
After dark, the garden becomes the finest room in the house: you dine in the shade of the olive tree, away from prying eyes, in a 1780 house. Fifteen minutes from Vidauban, it's the evening with friends that doesn't end too early.
