La Bastide

La Bastide, Capelongue's gastronomic restaurant in Bonnieux, holds one Michelin star for cuisine of great finesse. Under chef Noël Bérard the kitchen works 'of the moment' on terroir, cooking nearby products to order with spontaneous contemporary approach and presenting dishes in a refined, incisive register. The house sets two complementary expressions across the property: at La Bastide plates are chiseled and contemporary, focused on precise techniques and seasonal sourcing. The restaurant prioritizes local sourcing—products from the surrounding area and meats of French origin—and serves set tasting menus with dedicated wine pairings. Bérard's parcours spans major houses in France and high‑profile tables abroad, shaping a rooted, attentive, modern culinary voice. Modern Provençal cooking concentrates on terroir and seasonal produce, executed with contemporary techniques and immediacy. The menu privileges minute cooking of local ingredients and refined, layered flavour combinations. Chef Noël Bérard.
