St. Remy de Provence for Easter--Restaurant Help
 

My husband, 5 yr old daughter & I are arriving in St. Remy (from Nice) the day before Easter.

Does anyone have a restaurant recommendation for Easter dinner in/near St. Remy? And do you think we need to call ahead now from the U.S. to try and get reservations? I've also debated buying food on the way into St. Remy so we can stay in on Easter Sunday (I assume we won't be able to buy food on Sunday). Any advice? Thanks!

Local hotel restaurants shoudl be open, but definitely call ahead for a reservation.

I think you will find most restaurants closed but most of the hotels will serve.
So I would also suggest you make reservations as the pickings will be thin.

Jardin de Frédéric, 8 bd Gambetta is lovely. 90 92 27 76

Just outside of St. Remy near Palud de Noves (sp?)about 8 kms. is the Mas de Bournissac, an auberge with a lovely restaurant, La Maison. Another very nice restaurant, somewhat less pricey than La maison, is located in nearby Maillane, Oustalet de Maillane.

In St. Remy you might try La Source. We prefer only its outside dining so weather a factor.

For all I would seek reservations.

Here is a list of the restaurants that you've been given names for along with their telephone numbers. As far as I know they'll all be open for Easter lunch - but may not be open in the evening.

Outside of St. Remy in the direction of Eyragues or Noves:

La Maison (Domaine de Bournissac)

I'll make a call from home to get reservations. This is such a helpful forum--thank you for the restaurant tips!

Unfortunately La Source is closed. Apparently the building next to it sold and the occupants don't want to look down on a restaurant terrace/patio. The owners are looking for a new location. It is a shame as it was a very nice place.
