Mas du Capoun

Set back on a country road between St.-Rémy-de-Provence and Eygalières, this luminous modern restaurant is always buzzing with well-heeled locals who come for the delicious three-course lunch specials. The Belgian owners, Michèle and Michaël Roumain—who is also the chef—excel in a small, changing menu of market-driven dishes: beef tartare heaped with parmesan shavings and arugula, sea bass à la plancha with stuffed vegetables, free-range roast chicken with rosemary-infused zucchini cannelloni, and local goats' cheese or a mouthwatering baba au Cointreau with vanilla whipped cream for dessert. Diners sit in a pretty, refurbished barn with a white minimalist décor. Book in advance, since the unbeatable prices at this friendly stylish haunt have put Mollèges—an otherwise unremarkable village—on the map.
