Overlooking the towering Mont Ventoux is the sleepy plus beau village of Venasque with its fountains, charming walkways, artisan shops, ancient ruins and ramparts, cherry orchards, and stunning views of the Vaucluse as well as of the Giant itself.
We return to this character-filled village every time not only for the atmosphere but mostly for the food. By fluke, we discovered an amazing restaurant with the most outstanding food and a view to die for that keeps us returning time and again. This is our favorite restaurant of the region thus far. Others are discovering it too, but hopefully not too many. But, I’ll share it with you!
Les Remparts is a hotel restaurant with an outstanding panorama from its terrace. I can’t even begin to write about the food without gnawing hunger pangs striking. So I’ll just show you.
Absolute favorites are the tomato pie, tomato and pesto tiramisu, and vegetable crumble with mozzarella and pine nuts. Throw in a good Ventoux wine, and you have perfection! Everything here is delicious.
And here is your view.
Before dinner make sure to take a stroll around the ramparts to the ancient towers for gorgeous views of the valley.
À bientôt!
This was by far my most favorite too!!

It’s dinner time here in Australia. Unfortunately, we won’t be eating anything nearly as impressive! I’ll store away the names of both the village and the restaurant…

My wife and I enjoyed the tarte tatin de tomate (like regular tarte tatin but with tomatoes instead of apples) so much that we asked the chef for the recipe. It’s easy to make and we have it all the time now!
