Les Oliviers sur Bandol

A truly excellent discovery and a well-deserved star! We were delighted with our first experience at this recently awarded Michelin star. And knowing that the complex, hotel, and restaurant will soon be renovated and expanded, the result promises to be magnificent! Everything was perfect: the welcome, the stunning view, the quality of the staff, the cuisine, and the wines. A special thank you to the Maître d'hôtel, Bryan, for his warm welcome. Friendly, attentive, precise in his explanations, always available, with that touch of humor that makes the service both professional and friendly. He is undoubtedly a real asset to the establishment. As for the cuisine, the Chef*, the newly starred chef, delivered an excellent performance, already demonstrating a strong identity with a beautiful series of signature dishes. We chose the most comprehensive menu: it was a veritable festival of flavors, discoveries, and surprises, perfectly executed from beginning to end. And finally, a special mention to Fleur, his wife and pastry chef: the desserts are exceptional, as beautiful as they are delicate, and bring the meal to a perfect close. A truly wonderful restaurant, a remarkable team, and an experience we will gladly repeat. We can't wait to discover the new establishment after the renovations!

A truly wonderful experience! From the very first bite, we were transported by original flavors and perfectly paired dishes. Delicious dishes. Beautiful surprises from beginning to end. Impeccable presentation. A must-try.

An absolutely remarkable gastronomic experience. From the moment you arrive, everything is perfectly executed: elegant, attentive, and warm service, without ever feeling stuffy. On the plate, it's a true journey. Each dish reveals great finesse, impeccable quality ingredients, and flavor combinations that are as creative as they are balanced. The cooking is precise, the presentation magnificent, and you can feel the genuine passion and dedication behind every plate. Special mention goes to the pace of the meal and the attentiveness of the staff, which contribute fully to the experience. The Michelin star is richly deserved. A truly wonderful restaurant for lovers of fine dining, which we recommend without hesitation. An exceptional moment that we will not forget and that we will be delighted to repeat.

One of my best culinary experiences, truly, no question about it.

A superb experience, inspired dishes, local produce, a team that was attentive yet very discreet. A magical moment.

Excellence was evident: the staff were welcoming, attentive, and highly professional. I indulged in the five-course tasting menu with wine pairings: superb presentation of the dishes, subtle flavors, sophisticated combinations, and exquisite sauces and jus. Each wine was a perfect match, the sommelier clearly demonstrating his expertise. It was flawless; thank you for this wonderful evening.

A unique and very tasty blend of flavors, but the portions were far too small to appreciate them; you need two bites to fully enjoy the taste. The tomato appetizer was very refreshing and flavorful, but too small—just a single slice of tomato. The main course was disappointing: a tiny, tasteless cube of fish, a very good green bean purée, but we would have liked more chunks, and a bland chocolate dessert, perhaps due to the Grenache wine served with it, which was far too strong. Fortunately, the chocolate ice cream was excellent, and the petit fours and amuse-bouches were excellent and original, but you would need at least two bites to savor them. The white and rosé wines were excellent, and there was a beautiful sea view. The restaurant's decor was a bit bland, and there were no tablecloths! The service was pleasant, but I'm still waiting for my ice cubes!

A magnificent experience for three with wine pairings! Everything was perfect: incredible and surprising flavors, a very refined presentation, impeccable, young, and dynamic service. A good selection of wines. A beautiful view with a sunset. We will gladly return to this newly Michelin-starred restaurant, which truly deserves its accolades! See you very soon!

My first experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant was a delight, with a superb view. The welcome and service were impeccable. All the dishes were explained upon arrival and were excellent, always with additional elements beyond the main course. The ingredients were expertly prepared.

Having had the pleasure of enjoying a memorable dinner featuring the excellent cuisine of Chef Martin Feragus in Vals-les-Bains (Ardèche), we repeated this wonderful experience at his superb restaurant, Les Oliviers, in Bandol. The tasting menu offered a succession of dishes that were constantly surprising in their flavors, the delicacy of their presentation, and an incredible mastery of wine pairings, allowing this exceptional cuisine to express what I love most: the expression of a region (the concept of "terroir" with the sea being too limited). Bravo! The first star will undoubtedly lead to a second soon.
