Restaurant Gastronomique Clair de La Plume
About
Nestled in the heart of the historic village of Grignan, Le Clair de la Plume is a 17th‑century former monastery that has been transformed into an acclaimed gastronomic destination. With a 1‑star Michelin rating and a green Michelin star for sustainable gastronomy, the restaurant offers a menu that celebrates the seasonal bounty of Provence, curated by chef Glenn Viel in collaboration with culinary partners Benjamin Reilhes and Cédric Perret. Guests are treated to a culinary experience that blends Provençal traditions with contemporary haute cuisine. The tasting menus feature locally sourced ingredients—from truffles and lavender to olive oil and artisanal cheeses—presented in elegant, thoughtfully plated dishes that change with the seasons. A carefully selected wine list complements the menu, showcasing regional vintages and rare finds. The restaurant’s setting is as remarkable as its food. The historic building’s 19th‑century glass roof provides a luminous dining room that opens onto a verdant garden terrace, offering a panoramic view of the village and the iconic Château de Grignan. The interior’s vaulted ceiling is a tribute to the masterpiece of the 18th‑century "Verrière", while private dining spaces—including the Pavilion des Amoureux—allow intimate celebrations surrounded by Provençal beauty. Beyond fine dining, Le Clair de la Plume hosts a range of cultural events: seasonal concerts in the centre of the village, wine tastings, and even a breakfast buffet featuring Champagne on the garden. Whether you’re savoring a leisurely lunch, celebrating a special occasion, or simply exploring the culinary heritage of the Drôme, this Michelin‑starred establishment promises a memorable journey through taste and tradition.
