Le Saint-Estève
Le Tholonet - Food guide restaurant
In the homeland of Paul Cézanne, at the end of a charming country lane that winds down to the foot of the Montagne Sainte-Victoire, Mathias Dadine has stepped into the kitchen of a brand new luxury hotel complex, the Lodges Sainte-Victoire. Using a range of seasonal products, this chef – a native of the Var department – manages to recreate the myriad of flavours inspired by the surrounding landscape: soft-boiled eggs, Aigo boulido Provençal soup, ham broth, seasonal truffles, porchetta of rabbit stuffed with prawns, vanilla croustifeuille pastry, mirabelle plum compote and plum sorbet. Majestic yet with an air of faux-simplicity, his food evokes the sensual joys of a stroll through the Provençal countryside and almost immediately earned him a Michelin star.

Inspirations
Lights, Camera, Action! Provence and the Movies
The history of cinema in Provence dates back many years. And similarly to the region's artistic hall of fame, it was inspired by light...
As you may know, the very first moving picture was screened by the Lumière brothers ('Lumière' meaning 'light') on September 21st, 1895 in La Ciotat.
The Sea Urchin
Terroir
According to Marcel Pagnol, "if we only judged things by appearances, nobody would ever have wanted to eat a sea urchin"
Squash
The Gourmet's New Eldorado
It had all but disappeared from the markets, but then – perhaps as a result of Halloween arriving in France – squash made a big comeback on our stalls just over a decade ago
Quince
A story that will make you turn to jelly...
As yellow as sunshine and as warm as a winter fireplace... The quince isn't very pretty, but the people of Provence love it. You could even say that a passion has been born between this irregular-shaped fruit, somewhat resembling a dented, rustic pear and our lovers of jams, jellies and pastes.
