Thierry Germain is passionate about local produce and Provençal cooking, which come to the fore at his smart restaurant. Cévennes lamb, Mediterranean seafood and bull meat from the Camargue are among the ingredients you might find on the menu. The interior is suitably chic – white tablecloths, table lamps, Provençal colours – but the little terrace is the place in warm weather.
