As a group of three, we each enjoyed excellent set menus for such a reasonable price. We tried a variety of meats from tuna, beef, veal, and each dish was so well balanced and bursting with fresh flavours.

This meal was delicious! Big fan of the filet and the red mullet fish. The cheesecake was a little too “raspberry” for me. Raspberry sorbet and raspberry filling, all topped with raspberries.

Had lunch with friends. Lovely french food, great local wine. Service was friendly and the prices were very fair. One of the best places to eat in Provence, and highly recommended

I've been to Maison de Celou for my birthday with my boyfriend. We both took the Menu Celou choosing the two available options for entrées and Plats. The food was absolutely amazing. The fish and the Mirtillo cheesecake were the highlight of the evening. The view is unbeatable! Unfortunately the service could not keep up with the quality of the food and the location. The waitresses/hostess seemed a bit stressed and unfriendly.

Excellent food, nice atmosphere and attentive and professional staff. The starters were very flavourful and creative. The main dishes were superb. Especially the lamb was incredibly tender and perfectly cooked. The desserts were a feast. Overall a great experience!
