Chardon

The Alpilles > Arles

Le Chardon operates as a residency-based restaurant, welcoming different chefs for limited periods while maintaining a consistent focus on locally sourced ingredients. The menu evolves with each residency, reflecting the approach of the visiting chef while remaining rooted in fresh, seasonal produce from the surrounding area. The setting follows a bistro style, with a well-curated selection of natural wines that complements the food. A changing address that encourages repeat visits.

Since two thousand sixteen, Le Chardon has hosted chefs in residence for periods ranging from two to eight months. This format allows each chef to develop a menu shaped by the local terroir and the season during their stay.

Located between the Camargue and the garrigue, the restaurant provides a setting that encourages interpretation of regional produce through different culinary perspectives.

The concept highlights the work of visiting chefs while maintaining a consistent focus on seasonal ingredients and local sourcing.
