Le Grand Café Restaurant
in Gémenos near Aubagne
Creative and generous cuisine
Throughout your stay at La Magdeleine 5-star hotel or while just visiting Gémenos, Le Grand Café is the perfect venue to enjoy a delicious dining experience.
With its bistronomic and friendly atmosphere, Le Grand Café is settled in two different places: in the dining room during the winter season and on the terrace in summer.
Le Grand Café is also open all year round!
From breakfast on the sunny terrace, let yourself be charmed by an exceptional setting! Take the time to savor a gourmet breakfast buffet. Jams signed by our in-house pastry chef, cake and madeleines, the famous "brouse du Rove" and local cheeses, soft-boiled eggs... A first meal to start your day well.
At lunch, the light and convivial atmosphere unfolds in two different places depending on whether you are in summer or winter. You rediscover a cuisine that is as simple as it is tasty and generous.
In the evening, for dinner in the twilight, the magic of the site comes to life, for a romantic moment with the accents of the South.
In summer - A rôtisserie in the shade of the plane trees
Once the warmer weather arrives, Le Grand Café moves outdoors into the shade of centuries-old plane trees, right next to the swimming pool.
It has the feel of a village square in Provence, with people coming and going throughout the day, meeting up with a view of the water, spending time together and enjoying a freshly prepared meal.
Whatever time of day it is, whether or not you’re staying at the hotel, take a seat at a traditional forged iron table or a more contemporary loom chair for a truly delightful experience.
This summer restaurant serves beautifully slow-roasted meats – La Magdeleine’s rôtisserie is close by – along with perfectly grilled, flavourful fish, raw and cooked Mediterranean vegetables and colourful fruit.
In winter - Delicious dishes
In winter, the Grand Café welcomes you in a room with large French windows overlooking the park, with wooden floors, exposed beams and period fireplaces.
It's time to cocoon around a cuisine composed of traditional dishes. The golden color of the seasonal vegetable gratins rivals the smokiness of dishes simmered for a long time in a casserole or the delicacy of homemade terrines, naturally. For lunch or dinner, friendly dishes to make you want to take part in a resolute moment.
