"Mathias Dandine made his childhood dream come true when he became chef at this handsome 18C mansion with a terrace shaded by mature plane trees, situated far from the noise of the city. Here, his cuisine is in perfect harmony with the setting, where he celebrates Provence with breathtaking skill. His unfussy, pared-down Mediterranean cuisine shuns unnecessary frills, with no particular effort made to impress foodies. Yet behind the apparent simplicity, the chef’s recipes demonstrate real mastery in cooking methods, textures and balance of flavours. In fine weather, make sure you take a seat on the terrace shaded by Mediterranean trees." - Michelin Inspector
"Gémenos, in the Bouches-du-Rhône, serves as the setting for this imposing 18C aristocratic residence, which now houses a hotel and restaurant under the La Magdeleine – Mathias Dandine brand. Its lovely grounds and terrace are great assets, as is the vegetable garden which supplies produce for the Michelin Starred restaurant of Mr. Dandine." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
