When your partner is a chef and you are a sommelier, the best restaurant will always be at home and the best supplier your local market! But since we can’t always eat at home and sometimes is nice to be served here are my recommendations for some restaurants in different towns in the South of France! Don’t forget to call and reserve is always appreciated by the restaurant!
