La Table des Amis

The story

La Table des Amis – Bonnieux, France | Michelin 2-Star Modern Cuisine

A New Chapter for a Celebrated Chef

After a career that included three Michelin stars at the Hôtel & Spa du Castellet, Christophe Bacquié and his wife Alexandra have created something more personal. At Mas Les Eydins, a restored farmhouse on a hillside above Bonnieux, they opened La Table des Amis – a restaurant that embodies their vision of genuine hospitality and refined, unpretentious dining. The Michelin guide awarded it two stars in 2026, recognizing the precision and soul behind every plate.

The Philosophy of the Table

The name says it all: this is a table for friends. Christophe Bacquié’s cooking draws on the Mediterranean and the bounty of Provence, following the seasons with respect and creativity. He describes his approach as one of freedom and audacity, balancing classic techniques with modern expression. The goal is not to impress with excess but to create emotion – a meal that lingers as a memory. Guests are welcomed as if into a private home, with warmth and sincerity.

The Setting and the Experience

Dining at La Table des Amis is an intimate affair. The dining room opens onto the Luberon countryside, where the silence of the hills and the play of light set the tone. The kitchen works with local producers, and the estate even cultivates its own olives and lavender. A carefully curated wine list, featuring local Luberon wines alongside Corsican and Bordeaux selections, is paired to enhance each course. The restaurant is part of Mas Les Eydins, a guest house that offers rooms and gîtes, making it a destination for those seeking a complete Provençal escape.

A Cuisine of Place and Emotion

Christophe Bacquié’s modern cuisine is rooted in the landscape. He lets ingredients speak, whether a piece of fish from the coast or a vegetable from a nearby farm. Each dish is a balance of taste, texture, and presentation – never fussy, always deliberate. The result is a cuisine that feels both timeless and deeply connected to the Luberon. For those who seek a meal that is both exceptional and personal, La Table des Amis delivers an experience that stays with you long after you leave the table.
