"Anchoring the dining scene at Château La Coste, this One‑MICHELIN‑Star restaurant couples refined cuisine with the estate’s art‑studded, vineyard‑framed setting for a singular Provençal experience." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Hélène Darroze fell in love with the Château La Coste, adding her own stamp to a genuine holistic work of art that showcases contemporary art and wine, on the doorstep of Lubéron. Deep in Provence, the chef has chosen to focus on fruit and vegetables: carrots and aubergines from Bruno Cayron, cherries from Florent Lazare and each dish is named after its producer. The result is delicate food, made with exceptional produce that is exquisitely yet simply presented. The menu also features a few of the recipes that have contributed to the success of this world-famous chef from southwest France, such as Gamberoni in tandoori spices or the Darroze Armagnac baba." - Michelin Inspector
"Hélène Darroze boasts a total of 6 Michelin stars across three renowned restaurants: Hélène Darroze at The Connaught in London with Three MICHELIN Stars, Marsan par Hélène Darroze in Paris with Two MICHELIN Stars, and Hélène Darroze à Villa La Coste in Provence with One MICHELIN Star." - Ty Gaskins
"Dining at Hélène Darroze’s restaurant at Villa La Coste is an eight-course revelation — from cucumber granita, caviar, and oysters to white peach with mackerel, a saffron risotto with thyme, dry-aged Hereford sirloin and tender lamb, and inventive desserts like strawberries with salty black-olive slivers and a baba au rhum bathed in Armagnac — and I talk with Darroze herself, who says simply, "I want to bring them happiness." - Rachel Donadio Rachel Donadio Rachel Donadio is a Paris-based writer and former European culture correspondent for The New York Times.
