La Table de Pôl in Lorgues – Modern Provençal Cuisine, Michelin Recommended

La Table de Pôl

In the centre of Lorgues, on the Place Georges Clémenceau, La Table de Pôl is a place where a decade of history meets a fresh new chapter. Founded in 2009 by Raphaël Revalor and named after his son, the restaurant was taken over in 2022 by chef Julien Collard and his partner Rachel, who had already been running the kitchen and the dining room since 2018. Together, they have carried forward the convivial spirit of the house while putting their own stamp on it.

Julien trained at Alain Ducasse’s Abbaye de la Celle, and he brings that rigorous, ingredient-led philosophy to a cuisine rooted in the Var region. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on local producers to create food that is both generous and refined, balancing the flavours of the Mediterranean coast with the inland Provençal countryside. Diners will find a modern style that is anchored in tradition — what the restaurant describes as a cuisine "between land and sea." Signature dishes are kept on the carte for regulars, ensuring a sense of continuity alongside the seasonal shifts.

The setting is straightforward and welcoming: a dining room with 35 seats, where the atmosphere is warm and unhurried, and a terrace for enjoying the Lorgues sunshine. The team is small and close-knit, led by Julien in the kitchen and Rachel in the dining room, with Iestyn as second chef, described as the steady presence that balances a young brigade.

This is a restaurant that has quietly earned its stripes. Michelin has recognised La Table de Pôl with its "Recomended" distinction, a reflection of the consistent, thoughtful cooking that emerges from a kitchen devoted to the best of the region. Whether you come for the midday menu or a full evening meal, what you find here is honest, seasonal cooking, served in a place that clearly values both its guests and its origins.
