Restaurant in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France
Michelin-recognised modern French, no waiting list.
Le V holds two consecutive Michelin Plates and a 4.4 Google rating, making it the clearest value-for-quality option in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence's modern cuisine tier. At €€€ pricing it sits below the €€€€ commitment of L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy and Restaurant de Tourrel, and books easily. The right choice for a polished dinner that doesn't require a special-occasion budget.
Saint-Rémy-de-Provence draws visitors who have already done the Luberon and want something quieter, more lived-in, and more Provençal. Le V, sitting on the Chemin Canto Cigalo on the residential edge of town, is the kind of restaurant that earns its place in a destination like this by being genuinely good rather than simply well-positioned for tourists. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a Google rating of 4.4 across 178 reviews tell the same story: this is a reliable, polished modern cuisine address that over-delivers for a €€€ price point. If you are spending a few days in Saint-Rémy and want one proper sit-down dinner that justifies the occasion without the commitment of a full tasting-menu evening, Le V is the right call.
Saint-Rémy has always attracted a particular kind of traveller: people who want real France rather than a curated version of it, who will spend a morning at the market on Place de la République and an afternoon at the Roman ruins of Glanum before thinking about where to eat. Le V fits that profile well. It is not a hotel restaurant anchored to a luxury property, and it is not trading on a famous chef's name. What it offers is a focused modern cuisine kitchen that takes Provençal ingredients seriously and presents them with enough technique to satisfy a food-interested guest without the formality that would feel out of place in a town of this scale.
The Michelin Plate recognition is a meaningful signal here. A Plate is Michelin's acknowledgment of good cooking that does not yet reach star level — or in some cases, cooking that deliberately operates at a register below a star. In a town where the headliner options jump to €€€€ pricing (see L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy — Fanny Rey & Jonathan Wahid and Restaurant de Tourrel), Le V holds a useful middle position: Michelin-acknowledged, modern in its approach, and priced at a level where a full dinner for two with wine does not require a special-occasion budget. That positioning matters if you are here for several nights and want to eat well across multiple evenings without front-loading all your spend into one meal.
The broader context for modern cuisine in Provence is worth noting for food-oriented visitors. The region has a deep supply chain: olive oil, lamb, seasonal vegetables, stone fruit, and herbs that inform cooking across price points from bistrot to three-star. Restaurants working in the modern cuisine register in this part of France , from AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille at the leading of the market to addresses like Le V at the accessible end , tend to draw on that supply chain in ways that a purely urban kitchen cannot. Le V's two-year track record on the Michelin Plate suggests the kitchen is consistent, not just capable on a good night.
For guests who have eaten at high-end modern cuisine addresses elsewhere in France , say, Mirazur in Menton or Flocons de Sel in Megève , Le V will feel more relaxed in register, which is appropriate for a Provençal town of this size. That is not a criticism. Matching the right level of formality to the destination is a skill, and a restaurant that correctly reads its audience tends to be more satisfying than one that overreaches.
Le V is also worth considering as a neighbourhood anchor in the fuller sense: it is the kind of place that draws local regulars alongside tourists, which almost always improves the experience. A room full of people who live nearby keeps the kitchen honest and the atmosphere less performative. The 4.4 Google rating across 178 reviews , a sample size large enough to be meaningful for a restaurant in a town of this scale , reinforces the sense that this is a consistent performer rather than a venue coasting on a single seasonal wave of visitors.
For the food and travel enthusiast who wants to build a considered few days in Saint-Rémy, Le V deserves a place in the plan. Pair it with a lighter lunch at Chapeau de Paille , Bistrot Provençal (€€, traditional) and save the bigger-budget evening for L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy if the itinerary supports it. That sequencing gives you range across the town's dining options without redundancy.

Reservations: Booking is direct , this is not a hard-to-get table by regional standards, though advance booking of 1–2 weeks is sensible in high season (July–August). Budget: €€€ pricing positions this comfortably below the €€€€ tier of L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy and Restaurant de Tourrel; expect a full dinner for two with wine to land well under what those addresses charge. Address: 9 Chemin Canto Cigalo, 13210 Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Cuisine: Modern Cuisine with a Provençal context. Booking difficulty: Easy , same-week reservations are likely possible outside peak summer.
Yes, at the €€€ tier. Le V carries two consecutive Michelin Plates and a 4.4 Google rating , both signal consistent quality. Compared to the €€€€ pricing at L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy or Restaurant de Tourrel, Le V delivers Michelin-acknowledged modern cuisine at a level where the bill does not require justification. If your measure is value-per-quality-point within Saint-Rémy's dining options, Le V is the clearest yes in its price band.
1–2 weeks is sufficient in most of the year. In July and August, when Saint-Rémy sees its highest visitor volumes, aim for 2–3 weeks out to be safe. Outside peak summer, same-week bookings are likely available. This is an easy-to-book table by Michelin Plate standards , do not let perceived difficulty put you off a spontaneous visit in the shoulder season.
The database does not include specific menu details, so we cannot responsibly name dishes. What we can say: Le V operates in the modern cuisine register in a region with a strong seasonal supply chain , Provençal lamb, olive oil, and vegetables feature heavily in kitchens like this at this time of year. Ask the room what is current when you arrive; a kitchen with two consecutive Michelin Plates will have a point of view worth following.
We do not have confirmed details on whether Le V offers a tasting menu format. At the €€€ price point with Michelin Plate recognition, if a tasting menu is available it is likely to represent the kitchen's strongest argument for itself. For a purely à la carte modern cuisine experience at this price level, Le V already makes sense. If format matters to your decision, contact the restaurant directly to confirm options before booking.
Three addresses cover the main options. L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy , Fanny Rey & Jonathan Wahid is the top-end choice (€€€€, Modern Cuisine) with a named chef behind it , book here for a special occasion with a higher budget. Restaurant de Tourrel is also €€€€ and operates within a hotel property, which suits guests wanting a full property experience. For something lighter and less expensive, Chapeau de Paille , Bistrot Provençal (€€) is the traditional Provençal option. Le V sits between the bistrot and the top tier , it is the right call when you want real cooking without the full €€€€ commitment.
Yes, with some calibration. Le V's Michelin Plate recognition and modern cuisine register make it appropriate for a birthday dinner, anniversary, or celebratory meal in a Provençal context. It is not the most theatrical setting in Saint-Rémy (L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy carries more occasion weight at €€€€), but the quality floor is solid and the price point means you can invest in a good bottle of Provence wine without the whole evening becoming a financial event. For a low-key special occasion, it is the better-value choice.
We do not have confirmed group-booking details for Le V. For groups of 4–6, a standard reservation should be manageable given the restaurant's accessible booking profile. For larger groups or private dining requests, contact the restaurant directly , the address is 9 Chemin Canto Cigalo, 13210 Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Given the €€€ pricing, Le V is a practical group dinner option that avoids the per-head commitment of the €€€€ tier.
Saint-Rémy is a town that rewards solo exploration, and Le V's direct booking profile makes it easy to secure a table for one. Modern cuisine restaurants at this price point in France are generally solo-friendly , you are more likely to be seated at a comfortable table than turned away or sidelined. The 4.4 Google rating across a meaningful review sample suggests a room that is confident enough to make a solo guest feel attended to rather than managed. Worth booking.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Nothing in the available record rules out groups, but a Michelin Plate modern cuisine address at €€€ in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence typically suits parties of two to six rather than large celebrations. check the venue's official channels before assuming private dining or large-table availability. If your group needs a guaranteed private space, Restaurant de Tourrel is worth checking first.
One to two weeks ahead is sensible for most of the year; in peak Provençal summer (July–August) push that to three weeks minimum. Le V holds a Michelin Plate for 2024 and 2025, which keeps demand steady without making it the hardest table in the region. Call or email early if you have a fixed date.
At €€€, Le V sits in the mid-upper tier for Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Two consecutive Michelin Plate recognitions (2024, 2025) confirm the kitchen is cooking at a consistent standard, which makes the pricing defensible. If you want something lighter on the wallet, Chapeau de Paille offers Provençal bistrot cooking at a lower price point; if you want to spend more and get Michelin star ambition, Restaurant de Tourrel is the regional step up.
Specific dishes are not documented in the available record, so ordering advice would be speculative. What the record confirms is a modern cuisine format at €€€ with Michelin Plate standing — expect a menu built around refined technique applied to regional Provençal produce. Ask the kitchen or front of house what is running on the current seasonal menu when you book.
L'Auberge de Saint-Rémy by Fanny Rey and Jonathan Wahid is the highest-profile alternative, with stronger star-level recognition. Chapeau de Paille is the right call if you want a more relaxed bistrot format at lower spend. Restaurant de Tourrel suits travellers who want a hotel-restaurant experience and are willing to pay above €€€. Le V sits squarely between the bistrot and the luxury hotel ends of the local market.
Menu format and pricing are not confirmed in the available record, so a direct verdict on a tasting menu is not possible here. At a Michelin Plate modern cuisine restaurant in this price range, a multi-course format is common but not guaranteed. Confirm the current menu structure when booking — that conversation will also tell you a lot about how the kitchen is thinking right now.
Yes, with a caveat on expectations: Le V is a Michelin Plate address at €€€ with two years of consecutive recognition, which makes it a credible choice for a birthday or anniversary dinner in Saint-Rémy. It is not the grandest room in the region — Restaurant de Tourrel has more event-ready prestige — but Le V offers a more intimate, low-key occasion dining experience if that suits your group better.
