The story
In the hamlet of Calas, within the village of Cabriès, La Bastide Bourrelly - Mathias Dandine is a place where hospitality and gastronomy meet. This former village inn, which was the heart of the community for nearly 200 years, has been revived by chef Mathias Dandine and Serge Perottino. They have preserved its authentic, convivial spirit while transforming it into a five-star hotel and restaurant that now holds one Michelin star for high-quality cooking.
Chef Mathias Dandine, a local who also runs La Magdeleine, leads the kitchen with a focus on generosity and a deep love for his region. Alongside his executive chef, Guillaume Lemelle, he crafts a cuisine that is both inventive and firmly rooted in Provencal traditions. The food is an ode to the Mediterranean, drawing inspiration from local markets and seasonal products—sun-ripened vegetables, fish from the coast, and the bounty of the terroir. Each dish balances tradition with a modern touch, telling the story of Provence through refined, elegant flavors.
The setting is a warm, welcoming house where the décor blends contemporary touches with the charm of a Provencal building. The restaurant’s atmosphere is one of sincere hospitality, a place where the team’s passion for making guests feel at home is immediately apparent. Whether dining indoors or on the terrace, the experience is defined by a simple, genuine conviviality. The restaurant is part of a larger estate that includes a wellness area, a pool, and a pétanque court, all designed for relaxation and the slow rhythm of Provencal life. This Michelin-starred restaurant in Cabriès offers a true taste of the region’s art de vivre.
