MY BOOK OF SECRET GOOD RESTAURANTS
As the director of Gault Millau for nearly ten years, I enjoy to open my address book of favourite restaurants within half an hour of the Domaine des Peyre. We are lucky in Luberon to have very good products and very good restaurants with good quality/price/pleasure ratios, you just need to have the right codes… here are some of them. Do not hesitate to give me your opinion.
LES BEAUMETTES
DOMITIA- MAISON DE CUISINIER
Bistro

What luck that chef Jérôme Faure has come to live so close to the Peyre estate! You will love his gourmet cuisine, his precise dishes, his perfect cooking in his “cooking house” where the products of his neighbouring producers never cease to inspire him! In the summer, you will not see the time pass on the terrace and in the winter, you will love the cocoon dining room. Nice local wine list at reasonable prices. Reservations highly recommended!
Closed on Thursday
Rates: 30 € – 50 €.
