La Table de Xavier Mathieu

The Luberon > Joucas

Originaire de Marseille, le chef Xavier Mathieu s'inscrit dans la tradition provençale qu'il a cultivée tout au long de sa carrière, notamment auprès de Roger Vergé et Joël Robuchon. Aujourd'hui, il dirige les cuisines du Phébus, installé dans une ferme familiale au cœur de la garrigue du Luberon. Sa cuisine propose une interprétation personnelle des classiques régionaux, puisant dans les produits du terroir et un savoir-faire exceptionnel. Parmi les plats, on trouve un tian d'olives noires du jardin, un gigot d'agneau des Alpilles cuisiné aux herbes de la garrigue et un menu marseillais en deux services. Le restaurant occupe une bastide construite sur des vestiges historiques liés à l'Ordre de Malte, offrant un cadre structuré en harmonie avec l'histoire du lieu. La cuisine, fidèle aux fondamentaux provençaux, est revisitée avec précision et régularité.

Situated in the heights of the Luberon, Le Phébus has established itself as a renowned restaurant led by chef Xavier Mathieu. The establishment enjoys a dominant position, with a terrace overlooking the landscape, particularly appreciated at the end of the day.

The cuisine is based on Provencal traditions, with precise execution and rigorous selection of produce. Dishes include salt-crusted roasted fennel, Provençal raite with cod and yellowtail, and leg of lamb with spelt and split peas.

The region's emblematic recipes are also present, such as pieds paquets. Desserts follow the same logic, with local products such as petit épeautre worked into a sweet version.

The menu is complemented by a structured menu, and a well-stocked cellar featuring wines from Luberon and Ventoux, as well as other regions.
