Why go
Les Chênes Verts is the easy Tourtour choice when flexibility matters more than a destination-level dining brief. Choose it for a relaxed local meal, especially if plans are already centered on the village; cross-shop La Table for clearer Modern Cuisine positioning or Le Saint Marc for a lower-priced Provençal cue.
About Les Chênes Verts
Les Chênes Verts is a Tourtour venue with smart casual dress and a published opening pattern of 9 AM–3 PM and 6–9 PM on Monday and Thursday through Saturday, plus 9 AM–3 PM on Sunday. Tuesday and Wednesday are closed. For planning, approach it as a practical Tourtour option rather than a restaurant to book around a specific culinary promise; confirm details such as cuisine, chef, menu format, price level, awards, and drinks program directly before relying on them.

A practical Tourtour fallback when the plan needs to stay loose

It is closed Tuesday and Wednesday. Those hours make it usable earlier in the day on its open days and in the evening on Monday and Thursday through Saturday.
For itinerary planning, keep expectations general and confirm current details directly with the venue before relying on a particular cuisine, signature dish, tasting-menu format, chef profile, wine list, cocktail program, award status, price range, takeout, delivery, or dietary-accommodation policy.

Choose Les Chênes Verts if the schedule works for your Tourtour plans and a smart casual setting is appropriate for the group. It is especially easy to evaluate on practical grounds: open 9 AM–3 PM and 6–9 PM on Monday and Thursday through Saturday, open 9 AM–3 PM on Sunday, and closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
If you need a restaurant with more specifics before booking, compare it with other options such as La Table, Le Saint Marc, Le Provençal, La cuisine des halles, or Des Gourmets, and check the current menu, pricing, and service details directly. Les Chênes Verts is best approached as a direct Tourtour option rather than a claim-heavy destination booking.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Les Chênes Verts reads like a Provençal table rooted in its landscape. The approach through oak and pine and the fact the village sits at 650 metres above the Var plain make the surrounding countryside an active ingredient in the cooking. The kitchen treats foraged herbs, local olive oil, chèvre and, in winter, black truffle as central to the menu rather than garnish. The result is an engaging mix of rustic provenance and deliberate refinement: an intimate, village-scaled dining experience that foregrounds terroir and seasonal flavor rather than tourist spectacle.
Best For
This is a dinner destination for diners who prize locality and seasonality. Guests come for menus that put Haut-Var ingredients center stage — notably the winter truffle offerings — and for dishes built around foraged herbs, mushrooms and nearby producers of olive oil, lamb and chèvre. Because Tourtour avoids the coasts summer churn and keeps a lower profile than more heavily marketed villages, the restaurant suits couples or small groups seeking a quieter, focused evening meal and travelers looking for an authentic Provençal fine-dining moment away from busy tourist routes.
Ordering Tips
Plan a winter visit if the truffle menu is your priority: the text notes the Haut-Var is truffle country in winter and the restaurant offers a menu truffes. On any visit, look for dishes that showcase local foraging and producers — the signature fricassée de homard and risotto aux cpes exemplify that approach. Ask about the days local cheeses, olive oils and any seasonal wild herbs or mushrooms; the kitchen draws on nearby markets (Aups) and small regional suppliers, so the menu shifts with what the landscape yields.

Restaurant context
How Les Chênes Verts compares in Tourtour
Les Chênes Verts is the low-friction choice: better for a relaxed village meal than for diners seeking a clearly defined cuisine style or price-led splurge. La Table is the stronger pick when Modern Cuisine and a €€ signal matter, especially for diners who want a more intentional restaurant choice rather than a casual fallback.
For value, Le Saint Marc has the clearest advantage because its Provençal positioning and € tier make the decision simpler. Les Chênes Verts works better when ease and timing matter more than a specific regional-cuisine brief. La cuisine des halles, Des Gourmets, and Le Provençal are worth checking when the priority is simply finding another nearby table, but the available signals are less specific than La Table or Le Saint Marc.
For ambiance, choose Les Chênes Verts when the plan calls for something relaxed and local rather than polished. Choose La Table for a more composed meal, Le Saint Marc for Provençal value, and the other nearby options when availability drives the decision.
