L’Orangerie in Gordes, a fabulous experience in an exceptional place
The original restaurant at La Bastide invites you to discover the subtleties of Provencal cuisine in an absolutely superb location. Perched at the top of Gordes village, classified as one of the most beautiful in France, L'Orangerie’s terrace offers a breathtaking view over the Luberon Valley. Its white linen-dressed tables are scattered around the terrace and shaded by mulberry trees. It’s a unique place to come and dine.
The magic of dinner under a starry sky
During the day, you’ll have the pleasure of lunch in the open air, letting your gaze wander over the valley and the hills, the olive groves surrounded by dry stone walls. In the evening, the heat becomes more gentle as the countryside turns red and orange, revealing its authentic Provencal beauty, often captured by the greatest artists. L’Orangerie restaurant is the perfect place for the most romantic dinner. You’ll enjoy a marvellous meal surrounded by nature, beneath the starry Provencal sky, overlooking some of the most beautiful scenery in France.
A refined cuisine inspired by Provencal produce
Chef Yohan Fatela has put Provencal cuisine at the heart of the Gordes’ L’Orangerie menu, creating dishes with great finesse from local products. Flavours and surprising textures combine to make carefully selected ingredients even more sublime. In season, lamb is accompanied by aubergine confit, nori and samphire. Roast pigeon is enlivened with cherry pickles, the acidic note contrasting with a salsify gratin. Those with a smaller appetite might like to opt for one of the well-designed salads, such as an artichoke salad with anchovies or parmesan.
Desserts are created by Chef pâtissier and chocolate expert Cédric Rivière. Gourmets will lean towards his chocolate and pear several ways creation, while those looking for something lighter will love his sorbets and homemade ice creams.
L’Orangerie restaurant, quintessentially Luberon
For those who would rather enjoy lunch or dinner inside, the interior is no less spectacular. The vaulted dining room evokes Luberon feasts of yesteryear: padded banquettes, wood carvings, large mirrors, period paintings and immaculate table cloths are the foundations for the décor of this surprising restaurant. The quality of the materials harks back to the golden age of Provencal craftwork, traditional Indian fabrics, earthenware and ceramics add to the richness of the region. It’s a warm, elegant venue, ideal for friendly lunches and lavish dinners, when the temperature outside is cooler.
