Tucked away in the heart of Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, one of Provence’s most picturesque villages, lies a hidden culinary treasure—Château Olive et Raisin. Nestled alongside the famous river Sorgue, this charming restaurant combines rustic French elegance with a touch of Mediterranean flair, offering visitors an unforgettable dining experience.

We had the pleasure of stopping here for lunch, and let us tell you—it was nothing short of divine. The setting alone will take your breath away. Whether you’re seated on their peaceful terrace, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, or inside the beautifully restored stone building, there’s a magical quality to this place that makes every meal feel special.

What really sets Château Olive et Raisin apart is its menu, which changes frequently to reflect the seasons and the best local ingredients. There isn’t one particular dish we could recommend with certainty—because the joy of dining here is discovering the chef’s latest creations. However, if the trout is available, we highly recommend it. Delicately prepared and bursting with fresh, Provencal flavors, it’s a dish that embodies the essence of the region.
