La Grignotière

Gorges du Verdon


Hidden behind the soft-pink façade of Moustiers' Musée de la Faïence is this peaceful garden restaurant. Tables sit between olive trees and the colourful, eye-catching decor – including the handmade glassware – is the handiwork of talented, dynamic owner Sandrine. Cuisine is ‘picnic chic', meaning lots of creative salads, tapenades, quiches and so on.
