Surrounded by a vast potager (kitchen garden), which supplies practically all the restaurant's produce, this renowned gourmet table is run by Armand Amal, a former pupil of Alain Ducasse. The multicourse menus are full of surprises, and the bucolic setting is among the loveliest anywhere in the Camargue. There's a vegetarian menu (unfortunately available only at lunch).
