Cafes and restaurants in St Remy??
Planning a trip to Provence and looking for some tips on tasty places to eat and drink around St Remy. Does anyone know of anywhere good? Is it necessary to have a car to travel around the region? Would be grateful for any advice!

If you have a car, you can see the many sights on your own timetable--Arles, Les Baux, the Camargue, Nimes, the Pont du Gard, Uzés...possibly Avignon and the Luberon villages.
Have you chosen a hotel yet?

Here are some of our favorites in the area. If you get down to the Camargue - definitely try La Chassagnette near Le Sambuc. It's about 50 minutes from St Remy - lunch menu is 37 euro and dinner is 60 euro. It's fabulous and worth the drive AND the price.
St. Remy
Jardin de Frédéric
Small, cozy restaurant with a small outdoor terrace. Good seafood dishes. Friendly owner and service is good.
Closed Sunday and Monday lunch
Dress - Casual
8, boulevard Gambetta Tel: 04 90 92 27 76
Menus offered at 25 and 28 euro (dinner) 16 euro (lunch)
La Serre
Charming restaurant in an old greenhouse in the village - chef is the grandson of Gaston Lenotre. Very good, inventive food, reasonably priced.
Don't try it if you aren't fond of long evenings.
Dress - casual
8, rue Commune Tel: 04 90 92 37 21
La Source
Charming, small restaurant fairly off the tourist path. Very good food, beautiful shaded terrace overlooking a garden for summer dining. Closed Wednesday
13, avenue Liberation Tel: 04 90 92 44 71
Lunch menu around 21 euro Dinner menus 30/40 euro
La Gousse d'Ail
Small restaurant which recently moved into a large old house on the 'ring' road around town - across from the church. Chef/owner is actually Dutch. Bouillabaisse is served on Tuesdays. There is sidewalk terrace for outdoor dining in good weather.
I'm thinking of removing this restaurant from my recommendations, as it's not as good as it was when he was in smaller quarters.
Dress- Casual
L'Apostrophe
Newer brasserie . Fusion cuisine - French, Thai, Antilles Islands, Chinese, Moroccan. The food is very good - although some portions are a bit large.
It has a two tiered terrace with a view of the church. And the chairs are very comfortable. Prices are reasonable - entrees are in the 7 euro range and main courses around 14 euro.
17, place de la Republique Tel: 04 90 92 02 13
Bistrot des Alpilles -
The Bistrot has been under new managementfor a couple of years now and has a chef.... from Paris.
The menu retains few of the things for which it was well known... the tablecloths are all white (no more charming provençal prints), the waiters now all carry little electronic pads to take your order and it's all just too 'chic' for words... and the prices have gone up. Dinner for four with one bottle of wine was 160 euro. (almost $150) and the food was barely fair.
There are two terraces, one enclosed and one open.
Dress - Casual, although during the summer 'season' you are likely to see just about anything and everything in the way of clothing.
Reservations recommended during the high season and on weekends.
15, boulevard Mirabeau Tel: 04 90 92 09 17
Outside of St. Remy in the direction of Noves:
La Maison (Domaine de Bournissac)
New restaurant and country inn (about two years old) - in a lovely old mas. Excellent cuisine. Terrace shaded by a fig tree. A bit on the high side.
Closed Monday and Tuesday noon
tel: 04 90 90 25 25
Menu at around 40 euro
Les Baux de Provence
* Riboto de Taven
In the Val d'Enfer, just below the village of Les Baux. An excellent Michelin one star restaurant for thirty-five years, they've turned in their star and are no longer serving a varied menu. They've become a country inn and serve a dinner with a set menu . Call in advance to see what they're serving - and if they have room. The menu changes with the seasons, but always includes regional dishes. Beautiful garden and terrace with a view of the village of Les Baux. Dining on the terrace in the summer months, otherwise indoors in what was once the bergerie (sheepfold).
Dress - Dressy casual, although no ties required for men.
Tel: 04 90 54 34 23
Menu is usually around 45 euro
Maussane-les-Alpilles
Le Fournil
Traditional Provençal cuisine and great individual pizzas (not American style).
Dress - casual Reservations recommended in season
Behind the village church Tel: 04 90 54 40 33
Le Margaux
Charming small restaurant in the center of the village. Although I find that it a bit inconsistent, they more often get it right than wrong. Lovely terrace.
Dress - casual
Just off the main village square Tel: 04 90 54 35 04
Menus at 28 and 36 euro
La Vallée ( Chez Karine )
This restaurant was begun a couple of years ago by Jean-Louis' daughter Karine (Jean Louis of Bistrot du Paradou) and her sister. Her sister has gone on to other things, but Karine, along with the former chef at Cuisine au Planet in Fontvieille are doing good things here. One of their most successful menus has been based on the artichoke.... extremely popular.
15, avenue de la Vallée des Baux Tel: (33) 490 54 54 00
[email protected] website: www.la-vallee.net
* Bistrot de La Petite France
Former Michelin one star restaurant, just outside Maussane near Le Paradou in a renovated farmhouse. They "turned in" their star and changed the style of the restaurant to a less formal bistro. Excellent food, good service. One of the best wine lists in France (the chef's father is the owner of the largest wine distributor in the south of France)
Casual. Reservations recommended Closed Wednesday and Thursday
55, avenue de la Vallee des Baux Tel: 04 90 54 41 91
