The story
Les Bories is a 5-star hotel estate in Gordes, Provence, set among olive trees, cypresses, and lavender on eight hectares of former shepherds' land. Its gourmet restaurant, recognised in the 2026 Michelin guide, offers modern cuisine that draws on the region's character. The chef and his team welcome guests each evening for dinner in an elegant dining room or on the large terrace, where the view across the Luberon valley is the defining backdrop.
The cooking is rooted in the Provençal landscape, though the menu changes with the seasons. The atmosphere is refined but unhurried, with the sounds of the garden and the soft light of the Luberon filtering through. The restaurant's Michelin recommendation speaks to the precision and sense of place in every dish.
For a lighter meal, the Bistrot des Bories serves lunch daily in a chic, timeless setting. In warmer months, it gives way to the restaurant by the pool, where the same commitment to quality continues. The bar offers cocktails and wines to be enjoyed on shaded terraces around a fountain.
Les Bories is more than a restaurant—it is a destination where the landscape, the architecture (including restored borie stone huts), and the kitchen work in harmony. The modern cuisine here is not about novelty for its own sake; it is a thoughtful expression of Provence, served with the confidence that comes from a team that knows its terroir intimately. Whether on the terrace at dusk or in the dining room, the experience is one of quiet luxury and genuine welcome.
