The story
In the heart of the medieval village of Villedieu, just a few steps from Vaison-la-Romaine, Le Bistrot de Villedieu is a celebration of authentic Provencal cuisine. The kitchen, led by chef Laurent, centers on a wood-fired oven, turning out dishes that speak directly of the region. The menu is a true Provencal affair, evolving with the daily harvest and built on ingredients sourced from a tight radius of 30 kilometers.
The setting is a classic bistrot, updated for comfort, with 90 seats on a terrace shaded by century-old plane trees. It faces the village fountain and the old ramparts of this former Templar and Hospitaller village—a genuinely evocative spot for lunch or dinner.
The wine list, curated by the team, focuses on local, organic, biodynamic, and natural wines. It is designed to pair perfectly with the food, with a selection of natural wines from neighboring regions also available.
This commitment to honest, high-quality cooking at a fair price earned Le Bistrot de Villedieu a Michelin Bib Gourmand award, a recognition for good quality, good value cooking. It is a place that delivers on the promise of a generous, locavore meal in a setting that feels like a true Provencal postcard.
