The restaurant has held a Michelin star since 1964 and continues to reflect the culinary traditions of Provence. Today, chef Jane Gleize runs the kitchen and shares her approach to regional cuisine with guests.

The menu draws on ingredients from the surrounding countryside, including vegetables and herbs grown in La Bonne Étape's organic garden and supplied by nearby organic farmers. These products guide a cuisine that follows the seasons and the character of the region. Local specialties appear in dishes such as Sisteron lamb, lavender honey, olive oil from Les Mées and Provencal almonds. Citrus fruits are often used to bring balance and freshness to the flavors of herbs and vegetables. WINE AND HOSPITALITY The restaurant also boasts a carefully curated wine cellar. The dining room team guides guests through the menu and wine selections, ensuring that every visit reflects the welcoming spirit of this long-established Provencal house.
