Le Saint Estève sur Le Tholonet

Breathtaking view of Sainte-Victoire with a beautiful sunset, impeccable service and succulent dishes, we will definitely return!

Great experience, great time. Excellent cuisine.

Superb place. Cuisine in constant progress. Friendly and efficient staff. Very expensive wines.

During our stay at the hotel, we decided to dine at the in-house restaurant for one of our dinners, drawn by the promise of a fine dining experience with beautiful views. Indeed, the views from our table were absolutely stunning, with a breathtaking panorama of the mountains and a charming garden featuring two fruit trees. The dishes served were fantastic, showcasing the culinary expertise and creativity of the kitchen. However, the overall experience was significantly undermined by several issues with the service and upkeep of the establishment. The first sign of trouble came when one of our hosts accidentally dropped a dish. While they assured us that a replacement would be brought promptly, it only arrived after we had to remind them later in our tasting menu. This lapse in attention was further evident in the servers’ lack of diligence in refilling our water and wine glasses as well as the inconsistent speed in the delivery of our dishes, leaving us to spend the evening admiring the scenery while often feeling neglected. Another disappointing aspect was the staff's lack of knowledge about the garden. Despite our curiosity about the fruit trees, none of the staff members could tell us what they were, which seemed like a missed opportunity to enhance the dining experience with some local insight. In terms of upkeep, it was disheartening to see many dead flowers left in the bushes, detracting from the otherwise beautiful garden. Such details, though small, contribute significantly to the overall ambiance and are crucial in a fine dining setting. In conclusion, while the food was delightful and the views magnificent, the service and maintenance issues we encountered were too significant to overlook. Sadly, these shortcomings overshadowed the culinary experience, and as a result, we do not plan to return.

L excellence !!!une table d exception!!!hotel comptemporain, bougies baobab dans les chambres! Déco épurée, zéro défaut !!!

Fabulous table, facing the Ste Victoire. The cuisine is fine, beautifully prepared, accompanied by quality wines, served by a very attentive team.

I had the signature tasting menu. While the flavours were interesting in each of the dishes, the actual taste was not that great. Service was as expected for a fine dining restaurant, but they did check in too much, every 10 minutes or so and it felt superficial. The atmosphere was absolutely stunning with the mountain and olive grove. It was only wrecked by the live singer screeching in the background. For a 250 euro meal, one does not want to sample it with a woman wailing in the background old pop music. The only dish I would say was exceptional was the sea bass. They need not have added salt as the fish was salty enough. The amuse bouche were delightful. The bouillabaisse was actually a chickpea soup, which to be honest was not a good taste. The dessert unfortunately was much like the rest of the meal, just bland. Overall: excellent view, adequate service, bland food and terrible background singing. I would not recommend unfortunately - get a good sandwich anywhere and enjoy the view from somewhere else.

Great views with attentive staff and amazing food. Reserve early for the best views !

This was a wonderful dining experience. An extra plus, was that most everything was recognizable, the tastes were just exquisite with perfect service from numerous staff and wait members. Chief is not trying to totally 'reinvent the wheel' for a good food dining experience.
