Le Jardin of Berne

Michelin-starred gourmet restaurant in Provence

one Michelin star and one green star for sustainable gastronomy

A unique and poetic taste experience "from the bark to the soul".

At the "Jardin de Berne*", chefs Louis Rameau and Eric Raynal search for the hidden truth in each ingredient to create new combinations, original pairings and surprising textures, while respecting nature's original intentions.

 "We work with the whole product. It's a choice that allows us to get closer to its intimacy... and a real source of inspiration, for a table that changes with the seasons", underlines Louis Rameau. 

Open Wednesday to Sunday evenings.

The Chef's kitchen

Each dish is a personal encounter that continues beyond the table in a preserved environment and cultivated tranquillity. To book a table at Le Jardin de Berne* is to take a second journey. The two men are keen to bring out the full potential of each ingredient, creating dishes with combinations that are easy to understand, yet natural, almost raw. Some of the fragile, fleeting aromas are so subtle that they can almost be savoured on their own. Their noble intention is to create an experience of pleasure and tasting, sublimated by the mastery of the gesture: a true ode to nature's incredible know-how. 

In harmony with a wine list chosen just for you

The gastronomic restaurant offers a very extensive wine list representing all the regions of France and some foreign wines too. Of course, the wines of our beautiful region are particularly well represented, as are the white, red and rosé Côtes de Provence from the Domaine du Château de Berne.
