Restaurants & Bars in Cotignac
At Lou Calen, the hotel estate’s plethora of restaurants and bars entice its patrons into the Provençal art of living that defines the true nature of Cotignac. At the Jardin Secret restaurant, chef Benoit Witz creates intuitive cuisine, inspired by the richness of the Provençal region, which he elevates with authenticity and refinement. At Le Bistrot, chef Yvan Franceschi infuses local gastronomy with exotic flavours with a seasonal menu and, every Sunday, generous and lavish buffets. Then, La TUF is the bar where life truly pulsates: patrons meet for a friendly drink after work, or gather later in the evening for a live concert. On the main square, the O’Fadoli bar masterfully explores the aperitif with a fine collection of pastis and absinthes, carefully selected spirits, and delicious cocktails.
