LE JARDIN DE BERNE
A Singular and Poetic Culinary Voyage "From the Soil to the Soul"
At "Le Jardin de Berne*", Chefs Louis Rameau and Eric Raynal seek out the hidden truth in each ingredient to curate unique and meaningful associations, never-before-seen pairings and astonishing textures that respect nature's true intentions.
"We work holistically with each product, piercing its secrets and drawing endless inspiration for our ever-changing seasonal creations", underlines Chef Louis Rameau.

A Wine List Curated for You
Our gastronomic restaurant features a very extensive wine list representing all regions of France, together with some international wines. Of course, it gives pride of place to wines from our beautiful region and Château de Berne's Côtes de Provence whites, reds and rosés.
In the Wings of a Michelin-Starred Restaurant
Watching a top chef at work in the kitchen then tasting his creations is every foodie's dream. Chef Louis Rameau brings your dreams to life at "Les Tables du Chef" – a table set facing the vast kitchen where you can savour the ballet of the brigade, or gazing out over the vines for a more intimate eating experience.
See a unique show in the heart of the kitchens
The Chef invites you into his world for a privileged dinner at the "table du pass". Seated comfortably at the end of the counter, your eyes riveted on the stove, you have a front row seat to follow the preparation of the dishes and the setting of the plates. A total immersion in the kitchens of a starred restaurant.

What is a Michelin-starred restaurant?
The awardingof stars by the Michelin guide meets exacting requirements, which only a few restaurants in France manage to meet. These top-of-the-range establishments are then evaluated on different criteria:
- The quality of the ingredients ;
- Mastery of cooking techniques;
- the taste.
Only the cuisine is evaluated, without taking into account the decoration, the service, the price or the welcome, but a score from 1 to 5 can be found to qualify the quality and the general comfort of the establishment (symbol of a spoon and a crossed fork).
A restaurant can thus hope to obtain one to three stars, and thus be listed in the famous Michelin guide. Le Jardin de Berne, for its part, has the honour of being awarded a Michelin star,but also a green star for sustainable gastronomy.
Our green Michelin star
Other distinction of the Michelin guide,the green star assesses restaurants in terms of sustainability. It rewards committed restaurateurs who work with products in an environmentally and ethically sound manner.
Local products and sustainable farming are chosen, to offer customers fresh and seasonal products grown under sustainable management. But the Green Star also rewards commitments to avoid food waste, to reduce the ecological footprint and to favour the treatment and recycling of waste.
Our starred restaurant le Jardin de Berne is committed to this approach, which has earned it a nice green star in the Michelin guide.
