3 toques Gault & Millau 2010, a member of the international White Toques, of Auguste Escoffier, Maître Restaurateur.
When asked about his ambitions, Marc de Passorio focuses for a moment with passion and he tells us that Valrugues is primarily a gourmet restaurant, a daring kitchen and that he expects to give his "letters of nobility" to the House.
"You have to give people the desire to return to this historical area rich in history, but which has now resolutely turned towards the future"... The chef adds :"Having learned a lot from remote and different regions of France the nostalgia of Provence caught my eye... I plan to make a kitchen with simple and original presentation ideas.... "
As an enthusiastic defender of the products of the region and local fabric, Marc de Passorio hopes well to adapt the products of the area and to make them travel, to transmit them, according to experiences' gained at the time of his voyages, a key of exoticism : You won't eat caramel pork for example, instead you will find a filet of red mullet with olive oil from Maussane served with Cucurma candied olives.»
My cooking is addressed to customers of passage, but also to regional and local clientele who are perhaps the most demanding in terms of quality. My suppliers are not simple relations but passionate in their field and therefore are friends.
To make the guests stay even more enjoyable the Chef proposes two dining atmospheres. The chef himself qualifies his cuisine, this new concept is designed to coexist on 2 formulas (bistro and gourmet)
« Notre Maison est un lieu mythique de la gastronomie Provençale ». Les salons du Restaurant ont été re-décorés pour leur apporter plus d’intimité et une jolie touche contemporaine. De ma boutique, en passant par le Restaurant gastronomique et le bistrot gourmand, où mon mari revisite la cuisine de bistrot, tout en gardant les mêmes valeurs simples et décontractés, nos équipes vous attendent et se font un plaisir de vous faire passer un très bon moment.
A Gastronomical environment : in a very beautiful dining room where natural colors are married for a refined atmosphere, heated by the large stone fireplace in the center and the chandeleirs give light to the elegant decor.
The kitchen suggested is more personal and more creative, it uses only the best products and requires much attention on each dish prepared.
An atmosphere Bistro : hushed and intimate, it makes us want to come in but then we no longer want to leave. In a more relaxed environment one will be able to enjoy regional products with a simpler cuisine (stewed, roasted, Plancha...). Vegetables are prepared with simplicity and naturalness.
The Bistro will be open from 12 pm to 5:30 pm, 7 days a week, and a wine tasting is proposed until 11 pm.
The formulas at € 26 and € 32 invites you to discover !
