La Verdoyante
About
La Verdoyante is a family‑run, Michelin‑guide‑famed gourmet restaurant located in the idyllic village of Gassin on the Côte d’Azur, overlooking the Gulf of Saint‑Tropez and the surrounding vineyards. Since 1979 the Mouret family has turned this 19th‑century farmhouse into a culinary destination that blends the authenticity of Provençal cuisine with refined Southern French flavors in an intimate, rustic setting. The restaurant’s open terrace is a highlight, offering panoramic views of the turquoise sea and lush vineyards. Inside, a bastide‑style interior exudes bourgeois charm, with spacious tables that foster privacy and conversation. The welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for family gatherings, romantic dinners, or relaxed meals with friends. Chef Laurent Moure continues a family tradition of seasonal cooking, sourcing fresh ingredients from the local terroir. Signature dishes showcase Provençal specialties such as fish soup, bouillabaisse, and olive‑oil‑based sauces, all prepared with artisanal care. The menu evolves with the seasons, ensuring that diners experience the best of the region’s bounty each visit. Reservations are encouraged to guarantee a table, especially during peak periods. The restaurant can be reached by phone at +33 49 56 16 23, or online via its booking page.
