Restaurant de Tourrel

It was within the walls of this handsome mansion that Charles Gounod played the first bars of his opera, Mireille, to the Provençal author Frédéric Mistral, who wrote the libretto. In a flavoursome echo, the chef plays a gourmet melody which delves into the regional pantry (fish from Grau-du-Roi, pork from Mont Ventoux and lamb from Crau), to deftly craft legible dishes that ooze with hunger-obliterating appeal. Fine wine list, particularly from the Alpilles and the Rhône Valley. The rooftop terrace is heavenly!
