“Where To” In Saint Rémy de Provence: #2

Where To In Saint Remy de Provence, vickiarcher.com


The most important “where to” in Saint Rémy de Provence is the most difficult to answer.

Where to eat? The question everyone wants to know other than, “where to stay”.


It doesn’t matter how familiar a place is, restaurants are a tough one to call. I don’t like recommending them because one night can be very different from another and we all have different tastes and requirements when it comes to eating out.


My list of local restaurants is by no means exclusive; there are some old favourites and some new crushes. I have chosen them not only for the food but also for the ambience and the decor. If you are staying at Le Petit Bijou or anywhere else in the centre of town, they are mostly within walking distance.


I enjoy eating out but when I am in Provence I love eating at home more so I have included my “where to shop” for food in this guide.

Provence is a cook’s dream. The produce is so fresh, so accessible and it makes even the most wary of cooks feel comfortable in the kitchen. I am not a great chef and even I can turn out meals for the multitudes and love every step of the way.


It’s a foodie’s paradise.
