Mathias Dandine Gourmet Restaurant
in Gémenos, in Provence
Yesterday and today, cleverly combined
Welcome to Mathias Dandine’s 1 Michelin star gourmet restaurant in Gémenos, where the traditional and the modern are cleverly combined. The Chef will be thrilled to welcome you to La Magdeleine, an 18th-century Provençal country house.
This beautiful historical building retains the elegant feel of Provence’s properties.
In autumn, the restaurant moves into La Magdeleine’s large library – a former barn redesigned with exposed beams, terracotta tiles, and a majestic fireplace where the fire crackles. A convivial and gourmet atmosphere that reflects the spirit of La Magdeleine.
Rooms are cleverly decorated in contrasting tones of blue, green and yellow, while furniture has clean and contemporary lines.
The ideal combination for a truly unique setting in which to enjoy a gourmet experience which will transport you, created by Mathias Dandine.

The restaurant at La Magdeleine
