Reviews Summary

Le Mas Bottero offers exquisite, artfully prepared seasonal dishes and impeccable service in an elegant yet warm ambiance. While many praise the culinary mastery and thoughtful wine pairings, some diners have found certain dishes disappointing and have noted inconsistencies in service, particularly regarding attentiveness and dietary accommodations for vegetarians. Despite occasional critiques, the restaurant is generally lauded for its refined creations and memorable dining experiences.

"What a spectacular treat for the soul the mind and the pallet it was incredible each dish was a world in itself as the whole was a journey to paradise. An ordinary place from outside also is very much nicer inside and better the staff was irreproachable attentive in many minute details I loved it our waiter waitress and sommeliere did really know what they talked about and most of all were pleasant effortlessly.
Thank again for that marvellous Sunday we all appreciated."

"We had a wonderful dinner at Le Mas Bottero. Every dish was absolutely wonderful and showed great attention to detail in plating and in flavors. They even "referred back to one another" slyly. The dessert -- a deconstruction and rebuilding from the ground up of strawberry-rhubarb "pie" -- was just amazing. They were extremely helpful and careful for our one diner who is truly gluten allergic and made her several different dishes which were safe for her, yet still delicious. The wine list is medium-sized and outstanding. We got expert assistance in choosing a reasonably priced Burgundy, which was a superb wine. I was disappointed to see the room only half full on a Thursday, given the great quality of the food. It is so good that if they can bring up the service a notch (we found ourselves pouring our own wine and water, as our charming but inexperienced waiter seemed a bit overwhelmed; fine from my point of view, but not something the Michelin guide appreciates) -- if not for that, then I would think this would deserve a second Michelin star."

"Outstanding “return from hunting “ tasting menu with a fantastic lièvre à la royale . The sommelier was also very knowledgeable and friendly. I’ll definitely come back."

If you're headed from Aix to the Vaucluse or any point north of the city, do what the local gourmands do and get thee to this gastronomic restaurant 23 km (14 miles) northwest of Aix on France's famous Nationale 7 (D7). A veteran of top kitchens from London to Switzerland, chef Nicolas Bottero struck out on his own in 2017, creating cuisine of utmost refinement but without a trace of fussiness and following the seasons and the local producers. In fall and winter expect squash, wild game, and local mushrooms, and, in summer, all the bounty of Provence.
