Restaurant in Tourtour, France
Michelin value in a Var village. Book it.
La Table holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) and a 4.6 Google rating across nearly 400 reviews — strong evidence of consistent quality at an accessible €€ price point. For anyone travelling through the Var or staying in Tourtour, this is the clearest reason to book a proper sit-down meal. Easy to book outside peak summer, when two to three weeks' notice is advisable.
Yes — La Table is the most compelling reason to sit down for a proper meal in Tourtour. It holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025), which is Michelin's mark for serious cooking at a price that doesn't require a rethink of your travel budget. At a €€ price point, this is a restaurant that overdelivers relative to cost, and the 4.6 rating across 388 Google reviews confirms that the Bib recognition isn't a one-off. For anyone planning a stay in the Var or passing through the Haut-Var village circuit, La Table earns a booking.
Tourtour sits high in the Var hills of Provence, a genuinely small perched village with the kind of stone-and-terrace architecture that makes every lunch feel considered. La Table, at Les Ribas on the edge of the village, fits that context: you are not arriving at a grand dining room, you are arriving at a restaurant that has earned its Bib Gourmand twice over in a place most visitors drive past on their way to the coast. That earned recognition in an out-of-the-way location is itself a signal worth paying attention to.
The cuisine is listed as Modern Cuisine, which in a Provençal village context typically means a kitchen working with regional produce and technique rather than chasing trend cycles. The Bib Gourmand designation specifically rewards this kind of cooking: technically sound, ingredient-led, priced accessibly. What La Table is not is a destination for anyone seeking the elaborate multi-course theatre of a Michelin-starred tasting room. The Bib standard is different — it is about value and quality in combination, not about luxury for its own sake.
On the wine question, which matters at any serious Provençal table: the Var sits within Provence's most productive wine region, with Coteaux Varois en Provence and the better-regarded Bandol AOC both within reach. A kitchen operating at Bib Gourmand level in this location would be expected to carry a list that reflects the region, likely weighted toward local rosé, some structured Bandol reds, and a range that supports the price positioning of the food. Specific list details are not available from confirmed data, so if wine pairing is central to your meal, contact the restaurant in advance to confirm depth and by-the-glass options. For wine-driven visitors to the area, the Var's producers are worth exploring beyond the dinner table , see our full Tourtour wineries guide for context on what is available locally.
The Google review count of 388 at 4.6 is meaningfully high for a village restaurant of this scale. It indicates a sustained record of consistent execution rather than a burst of early enthusiasm. Restaurants in remote locations often see review patterns that spike at launch and plateau; a steady 4.6 over a volume that size points to a kitchen that has maintained its standard rather than coasting on early recognition.
Booking difficulty is rated as easy, which is the correct read for a Var village restaurant in the shoulder season , but do not confuse easy with available-anytime. Tourtour draws summer visitors, and a Bib Gourmand-awarded table in a village of this size has limited covers. If you are visiting July or August, book at least two to three weeks out. Shoulder season (May, June, September, October) gives you more flexibility, but a week's notice is still sensible. There is no booking widget or phone number in the available data, so your fastest route is to search for the restaurant directly or contact the venue on arrival in the village to confirm service days and availability.
Hours and service days are not confirmed in the current data. In Provençal villages, many restaurants close at least one or two days per week and may not serve dinner every night outside high season. Confirm before you drive up. For broader dining and accommodation planning in the area, our full Tourtour restaurants guide and our full Tourtour hotels guide are useful starting points.

La Table competes at a completely different price tier from the Michelin-starred restaurants of the south. Mirazur in Menton operates at €€€€ and requires bookings months in advance; it is a destination meal for a specific type of trip. AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille is similarly positioned at the leading of the price bracket. La Table's Bib Gourmand positioning means you are getting Michelin-vetted quality without the starred price ceiling , a genuinely different value proposition for travellers who want credentialed cooking without committing to a multi-hundred-euro evening.
Within the broader category of Provençal and southern French cooking worth travelling for, the Var is underrepresented compared to the Rhône Valley or the Riviera coast. That makes La Table's consistent Bib recognition more significant, not less , it is one of the clearest signals that a kitchen in this area is doing something worth the detour. If your trip takes you further afield, Auberge du Vieux Puits in Fontjoncouse and Bras in Laguiole are other instances of serious cooking in remote southern French locations, both at significantly higher price points.
For anyone building a food itinerary through rural France, La Table offers something the starred circuit rarely does: a credentialed, approachable, affordable table in a place you would already want to visit for other reasons. That combination is harder to find than it sounds. See also our Tourtour experiences guide and bars guide for rounding out a full day in the village.
At €€ pricing with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition, yes , this is one of the clearest value cases in the Var. The Bib standard is specifically about delivering serious cooking at an accessible price, and two consecutive years of recognition confirms the kitchen is holding that standard consistently.
Specific menu format details are not confirmed in the available data. The Bib Gourmand designation typically aligns with set-menu or prix-fixe formats that allow kitchens to control cost and quality simultaneously. Contact the restaurant directly to confirm current menu options before booking if a tasting format is your priority.
For a low-key, intimate occasion in a Provençal village setting, yes. It is not a grand formal dining room, and the €€ price point means it reads more as a serious celebratory lunch than a multi-course splurge dinner. If you want high ceremony, Mirazur or a starred Paris room would be more appropriate. For a meaningful meal without the theatre, La Table delivers.
A Bib Gourmand village restaurant in Provence is generally a comfortable solo environment , the scale is small, the atmosphere tends toward relaxed, and the price point makes a solo lunch easy to justify. Confirm seating arrangements directly with the venue if you have a preference for counter or table seating.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in the available data. Contact the restaurant directly to ask about counter or bar dining options, particularly if you are travelling solo and want a more informal setting.
Not confirmed in the available data. For any serious dietary requirement , allergens, vegetarian, or vegan , contact the restaurant before booking. Village kitchens working at Bib Gourmand level typically have the technique to accommodate, but the smaller-scale set-menu format means advance notice is essential.
Seat count is not confirmed in the available data. Village restaurants of this type tend to be small, which can limit large group bookings. If you are planning for six or more, contact La Table directly and ask about private dining or reservation options , and book well ahead, particularly in summer.
La Table is the most credentialed option in the immediate area. For broader alternatives in the Var and Provence, see our full Tourtour restaurants guide. For higher-budget experiences in southern France, AM par Alexandre Mazzia in Marseille and Mirazur in Menton are the reference points at €€€€.

How La Table stacks up against the competition.
The venue data does not include a stated dietary policy, so contact them directly before booking. At a €€ Bib Gourmand restaurant in a small Provençal village, menus tend to be compact and ingredient-led, which can limit flexibility for complex requirements. Flagging restrictions in advance is the practical move.
At €€ pricing with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025, the value case is strong by any measure. The Bib Gourmand specifically flags good cooking at prices below the starred tier, so if a structured menu is available, it is likely the format that earned that recognition. Specific menu details are not in our current data, so check directly when booking.
A €€ Bib Gourmand restaurant in a small perched village is generally a comfortable solo proposition — lower price point, relaxed pace, no pressure to fill a table. Nothing in the venue data indicates a counter or bar seating, so a solo reservation at a standard table is the expected route. Book ahead rather than walk in.
Bar seating is not confirmed in the venue data. At a village restaurant of this type and price range, bar dining is uncommon in France outside of larger urban settings. Reserve a table to guarantee a seat rather than relying on an unconfirmed bar option.
Tourtour is a small village, so the immediate alternatives are limited and none carry the same Bib Gourmand recognition as La Table. If you are willing to drive, the broader Var and Haut-Var area has other Michelin-listed addresses, but for Tourtour itself, La Table is the anchor dining option with the clearest credentials.
Yes. Michelin's Bib Gourmand is awarded specifically for good food at accessible prices, and La Table has held it two years running (2024, 2025) at a €€ price point. For the category — modern cuisine in a Provençal hill village — this is a clear value proposition. You are not paying Mirazur or Le Cinq prices for comparable recognition.
It works for a low-key celebration where the setting and the quality of the meal matter more than grand-restaurant ceremony. Tourtour's perched-village atmosphere adds natural occasion weight, and a Bib Gourmand kitchen gives you something to build the evening around. If you need private dining rooms or a full tasting-menu ritual, the €€€€ starred restaurants of the south are a better fit.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
