The story
Perched on the Corniche du Liouquet, between La Ciotat and Saint Cyr sur Mer, La Table de Nans commands a panoramic view of the Gulf of La Ciotat. From the dining room, guests gaze out at the Ile Verte and the Bec de l’Aigle, a backdrop of sea and limestone that sets the stage for a meal of quiet precision.
The restaurant has long held a Michelin star, a recognition that speaks to the consistency and ambition of the kitchen. The team describes the house as “toujours récompensée de son étoile Michelin” – always rewarded for its star – a phrase that captures both pride and a steady, ongoing commitment to high-quality cooking.
The cuisine is Mediterranean, rooted in the flavors of the coast. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on the produce and seafood of the region. While specific dishes are not detailed in the available material, the approach is clear: refined, ingredient-led, and respectful of the landscape that surrounds the dining room.
The setting itself is a key part of the experience. The house has been renovated to make the most of its position, with large windows that frame the seascape. Outdoor seating is available, allowing diners to enjoy the breeze and the light. Inside, air conditioning ensures comfort during the warmer months. Parking is also provided, a practical detail for those arriving by car along the corniche.
La Table de Nans is a place where the view and the plate work in concert. The Mediterranean cuisine is not a theme but a natural expression of the location. It is a restaurant that earns its star through quiet confidence, letting the quality of the cooking and the beauty of the setting speak for themselves.
