The story
In the heart of Manosque, on the Place du Terreau, Chef Bastien Delgado has returned to his roots. The restaurant Chez Bastien occupies what was once Le Petit Lauragais, a long-standing landmark in the city of Jean Giono. It was in this very kitchen that Delgado began his career, making the opening of his own restaurant here a deeply personal milestone.
After training at the hotel schools of Manosque and Sisteron, Delgado honed his craft in several well-regarded and Michelin-starred restaurants. Now, he brings that experience home, sharing his passion for modern cuisine with the local community. The restaurant’s recognition with a Bib Gourmand in the 2026 Michelin Guide underscores the quality and value of the season-driven menus he and his team prepare.
The atmosphere is welcoming, with outdoor seating available and a fully accessible dining room. Whether you are a longtime resident or visiting for the first time, Chez Bastien offers a genuine taste of contemporary Provencal cooking from a chef who knows this city well.
