1. Brasserie du Corton
$$$ | |Though this brasserie is less formal (and less expensive) than its sister restaurant, three-star La Villa Madie, its dishes are no less tasty. Depending on what's in season and available from local growers and fishermen, the menu in the handsome dining room or on the terrace might include artisanal sausages and braised fennel with squid-ink gnocchi; tandoori monkfish medallions with asparagus, lime crème Chantilly, and Indian spices; or the catch of the day straight from the wood-fired oven. The three-course €60 lunch menu is a steal, and, unlike many area restaurants, this one is open year-round.
30 av. du Revestel, Cassis, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13260, France04–96–18–00–00Known For
- Year-round "casual" dining from a Michelin-starred chef
- Excellent selection of Cassis whites and rosés
- Panoramic bay views

2. L'Agape
$$$ | |At this gastropub hot spot in the heart of the city, chef Julien Gleize applies light, playful, modern touches to dishes that are steeped in French tradition, made with local ingredients, and beautifully presented. Options might include rabbit farci perfumed with wild cèpes and served over a cloud of whipped potatoes and shallot confit or wild salmon caramelized in olive oil with watercress, black sesame seeds, and luscious cream of corn.
21 pl. des Corps-Saints, Avignon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 84000, France04–90–85–04–06Known For
- Devotion to the freshest ingredients
- Superb price-to-quality ratio
- Excellent wine list

Rate Includes: Closed Sun. and Mon., Reservations essential -
3. La Mercerie
$$$ | Noailles |A decor that mixes distressed walls with minimalist industrial-style lighting and sleek designer chairs is your first clue that this neobistro and wine bar in Marseille's emerging Noailles neighborhood is impossibly hip. British chef Harry Cummins, lately of Paris's gastronomic mecca Frenchie, uses local, seasonal ingredients to craft subtle, imaginative dishes that are highly satisfying to all yet also sensitive to the needs of vegetarians and those with food allergies. The three-course lunch menu (€35) and the five-course dinner menu (€62), served inside or on the secluded outdoor terrace, are good introductions.
9 cours St-Louis, Marseille, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13001, France04–91–06–18–44Known For
- All the rage among young foodies
- Healthy dining
- Secluded outdoor terrace

Rate Includes: Closed Tues. No lunch Thurs. -
4. Le Bistrot du Paradou
$$$ | |This spot has seen its share of famous diners, from French movie stars to politicians, but you'd never know it from the friendly, laid-back atmosphere cultivated by the longtime chef and his loyal staff who loudly greet their friends—meaning everyone. From the apéritif until the bill comes (which could be a while, as you'll want to take your time here), you're drawn into the rhythm of Provençal bistro dining, with a bottle of the house red wine ready at your table and a stellar cheese platter all to yourself. There is a set menu for lunch and dinner—a choice of two starters, one or two main courses, and six desserts—ensuring that every morsel is fresh, local, and cooked to perfection. The bistro is about 6 km (4 miles) from Les-Baux-de-Provence and 13 km (8 miles) from St-Rémy-de-Provence.
57 av. de la Vallée des Baux, Les Baux-de-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13520, France04–90–54–32–70Known For

5. Le Carillon
$$$ | |If you're willing to travel 10 minutes to the tiny perched village of Goult, you'll be rewarded with a top-notch, thoroughly French meal at a restaurant that's elegant enough for a celebratory dinner, yet casual enough for a gourmet lunch on the go. Sea-crab soup with fricassee of cuttlefish and homemade aïoli makes a nice prelude to saddle of rabbit with local chanterelle mushrooms stewed with kale (a rarity in France). Top off your meal with a homemade sorbet, pear poached in black current and stuffed with rice pudding, or assorted regional goat cheeses and a local rosé. In summer, try for a seat on the small outdoor terrace overlooking the town square and church.
Av. du Luberon, Goult, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 84220, France04–90–72–15–09Known For
- Classic French dishes with a certain amount of elegance
- Homemade sorbet for dessert

6. Le Vivier
$$$ | |Patrick Fischnaller returned to southern France from London and quickly won acclaim (and a Michelin star) with this dazzler just outside the town center. Start off by enjoying a glass of wine (from €8) while seated on the orange sofa in the Art Deco–style lounge before heading to a table for foie gras and smoked eel terrine, pigeon pie, or strawberry soup with basil and black olives from the €70 menu (or order à la carte). But be sure to try the sublime roast beef with cherry marmalade or the roasted cod with stuffed piquillo peppers. The philosophy that wine is as important as food is reflected in an extensive list. Did we mention that the Sorgue River runs underneath the terrace?
800 cours Fernande Peyre, L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 84800, France04–90–38–52–80Known For
- Riverside views from the terrace
- Excellent roast beef with cherry marmalade
- Long, leisurely lunches

Rate Includes: Closed Mon., Tues., and late Feb.–mid-Mar. No lunch Sat. No dinner Sun., Reservations essential -
7. Mickaël Féval
$$$ | |This is the kind of place that young cooks dream of working in to learn the ropes, and Féval, quite young himself, has trained many a Michelin-acclaimed chef. After earning his fame in Paris, Féval opened this casual-elegant dining room, tucked away on a typically picturesque Aix side street, with a menu of dishes so masterful and flavorful that the restaurant soon became a local benchmark. Olivia Féval charmingly presides over the dining room to ensure that every moment is impeccable.
11 petite rue St-Jean, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13100, France04–42–93–29–60Known For
- Gorgeous presentation
- Market-fresh dishes that change frequently
- Impeccable service
Restaurant Details

8. Pollen
$$$ | |This luminous, casual dining room is an absolute must on any foodie circuit of Provence. Michelin-starred chef Mathieu Desmaret's thoughtful approach to seasonal Provençal products and wild ingredients and exquisite attention to unusual flavor pairings make for a revelatory experience far beyond the usual gourmet cuisine. Beautifully presented dishes both delight and surprise—such as a luscious emerald-green velouté of wild-dandelion paired with chèvre and flowers or perfectly roasted Ventoux black pork with tender asparagus and mussels. Lunch features three- or six-course menus; dinner sees six- or eight-course menus.
18 rue Joseph Vernet, Avignon, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 84000, France04–86–34–93–74Known For
- On a charming street at the center of town
- Prix-fixe menus
- Casual setting for elegant dishes

Rate Includes: Closed weekends -
9. Bibendum
$$$ | |The more elegant sister to Mathieu Desmaret's locavore mecca, Pollen, this dining room set in a 14th-century cloister attracts a chic, upscale crowd that fits right in with the stunning decor. You'll find all the flair and precision that put this talented chef on the foodie map, but with an Asian touch in dishes like candied beets with miso yogurt and kumquat or roasted pollack with lemongrass, ginger, and lacquered leeks. For a more casual meal of appetizers and wine, with many options available by the glass, head to the wine bar and grab a seat inside or out on the beautiful cobbled terrace; there's also a cocktail bar with a menu of creative libations.

10. L'Aile ou la Cuisse
$$$ | |A popular place for lunch or dinner, this modern bistro and terrace in the heart of the Vieille Ville draws a lively mix of locals, expats, and tourists looking for authentic market-driven meals. A small but satisfying menu is generously laced with local delicacies—savory ragoût of wild boar, cod with puréed local vegetables and tapenade-laden croutons, and poached-egg cocotte with foie gras cream and turmeric-balsamic toast. A generous wine list offers plenty of local choices by the glass, and the dessert tray in the window—another big draw—features tantalizing concoctions, like a classic chantilly-topped baba al rhum (a small cake made with rum syrup) and creamy tarte au citron (a lemon tart). Service can be slow, but it's always friendly.
34 bd. Mirabeau, St-Rémy-de-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 13210, France04–32–62–00–25Known For

11. L'Atelier de Nicolas
$$$ | |An open kitchen, a chalkboard menu, a bright terrace, and friendly service combine to create a laid-back atmosphere here, but, when it comes to the food, chef Nicolas Epiard is on his toes, serving up traditional local cuisine with flair and exuberance. Try dishes like the meltingly tender, slow-cooked bull with wild morels and a puree of root vegetables or the sea bass with savory herb pistou (Provence's answer to pesto) and crisp vegetables. Desserts might include fig crumble or white chocolate mousse. A refreshing rosé (the locally influenced wine list has plenty of choices by the glass) is the perfect accompaniment to an exemplary meal that's easy on the wallet.

12. L'Essentiel
$$$ | |This chic hot spot, steps from the Palais des Papes, is part of the "bistronomy" movement, which focuses on creative cooking, a casual atmosphere, and reasonable prices. The quaint terrace on a side street will lure in passersby, and the romantic 17th-century interior courtyard will keep them coming back.

13. Le 46
$$$ | |A 200-plus wine list is a big highlight of this restaurant and bar à vins, yet the main focus is squarely on the food. Beautiful to behold and even better to eat, the Mediterranean-inspired dishes flaunt the bounty of Provence in options like beef carpaccio, sliced razor-thin and served with shaved Parmesan and crispy house frites; a tender zucchini tartlette with chèvre and herbes de Provence; or a salad of heirloom tomatoes, bufala mozzarella, Serrano ham, and basil sorbet. A laid-back atmosphere, friendly staff, spacious outdoor terrace, and excellent prices make this a top choice.

14. Le Fournil
$$$ | |This restaurant's setting—in a former bakery that's tucked into a natural grotto and lighted by candles and arty torchères—is as memorable as the stylishly presented Provençal dishes on both the à la carte and prix-fixe menus. Try the thinly layered beetroot with feta cheese and walnut oil or the veal braised with anise and served with creamy polenta. There's a shaded terrace, too, by the 17th-century village fountain.

15. Le Mas des Aigras
$$$ | |Set amid vineyards just outside Orange, this stone farmhouse restaurant recently updated its traditional dining room and its dishes, while maintaining its charm and its high standards. The sophisticated menu is based on the French classics like salmon mousse, house-made foie gras, beef cheeks, and a fish of the day. In warm weather, the terrace is a lovely place to be.

16. Les Arcenaulx
$$$ | Vieux Port |At this red-walled, library-like haven in a stylish book-and-boutique complex of a renovated arsenal, you can have a sophisticated regional lunch and read while you're waiting. If you've had your fill of fish, indulge in the grilled fillet of beef with fried artichokes and sweet onion. The terrace (on the Italian-scale Cours d'Estienne d'Orves) is as pleasant as the interior.

17. Olga by le Bistrot Découverte
$$$ | |Claude and Dana Douard collaborated with some of the greatest chefs of our time before getting away from the big city lights to open this bistro–wine bar hot spot in the center of St-Rémy. The wine selection is magnificent, and so is the simple food—try the grilled sea bass with chorizo, mashed potatoes, and seasonal vegetables or the grilled Mont Ventoux spiced pork.
