Restaurant Le Prieure
About
Le Prieuré‑Baumanière offers guests a gastronomic journey in a former 14th‑century convent, blending historic charm with modern culinary artistry. During the summer months (June–August), the bistro serves a relaxed lunch menu from 12:00‑13:30, featuring freshly sourced seasonal ingredients. Every evening, from 19:30‑21:00, diners are welcomed to a Michelin‑starred dinner crafted by Chef Christophe Chiavola with Mediterranean and floral flavors. The restaurant’s elegant ambiance, attentive service, and intimate setting make it a perfect choice for families, couples, food enthusiasts, and history lovers alike. Bookings can be made by phone, and while lunch and dinner are available almost daily, the venue remains closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The restaurant stands as a testament to Provençal heritage, with its restored stone façade, vaulted ceilings, and lush surrounding gardens—an inviting backdrop for both casual lunch and romantic dinner experiences. Guests consistently laud the quality of the cuisine, the culinary creativity, and the attentive staff, while noting the limited lunch hours, Tuesday‑Wednesday closures, and premium pricing for the Michelin‑starred dinner.
