The warmth of the sun, the shimmer of colours, the sense of generosity: Florent Pietravalle's delicate, tasty dishes extol the South of France, the produce of its land, and its traditions (langoustine, John Dory etc). Here, everything is on point: from the bold and memorable flavours to the professional, distinguished and smiling service. Note the surprise menu based on remarkable, perfectly sourced seasonal produce from the region (at the end of the meal, you get a map with the names and locations of the suppliers). His dishes, at once technically sound and spontaneous, draw on his time with Jean-Luc Rabanel and especially Pierre Gagnaire. The setting is just as delightful: a superb 18C interior with a gorgeous garden, within the historical walls of La Mirande, a town house right next to the Palais des Papes. Delicious food in an elegant setting.
