Auberge de la Reine Jeanne sur Saint-Remy-De-Provence

Summary: Adorable little hotel where you MUST eat at the restaurant. ---------- The hotel is a very cute little home, tucked away just off the main street of St. Remy (itself an adorable little town). We had no complaints about the hotel, but what truly sets this place apart from others is the RESTAURANT: The restaurant is 2 Michelin stars, but was better than most (if not all) 3 stars we have eaten at. The location is cozy and adorable, with a homey atmosphere and staff that truly seem to love their job. We arrived with no reservation and none available online, but they managed to squeeze us in on very short notice. The food itself was some of the best food we have had at a Michelin starred restaurant. The meal was wonderfully light, without skimping at all on flavor -- every dish celebrated local produce, with fruits and vegetables sourced locally in Provence. Lastly, the owner is wonderfully kind. Upon leaving I told him how much we loved the strawberry based dessert, and he sent us off with a free box of strawberries for the road. The next time we are in Provence, we would love to stay again.

Refined and exceptional cuisine. The chef forages for all sorts of aromatic herbs and spices in the local flora. We were captivated by the décor, the menu, and the wines we tasted. The service is very warm and welcoming, not at all stuffy. You feel genuinely appreciated. Every detail is meticulously attended to, from the tableware and décor to, of course, the dishes and desserts.

It was my first time … My first experience in a two-Michelin-starred restaurant, and the flavors were incredible! The staff were so kind and attentive, accommodating my every need. A couple of chefs who were available and approachable. They made me feel comfortable, were present, and listened to my every need.

We had a dream stay with a welcome that was both professional and warm. The couple, Fanny and Jonathan, are a perfect match, much like their cuisine: inventive, briny, and vegetable-focused, with just the right amount of animal products (sardines and pink squab, in particular). A perfectly balanced menu that leaves you feeling light despite the number of courses. The two Michelin stars are richly deserved! We will be back, and I highly recommend it!
