Chez Jeannette
The delicacies of a refined table in the heart of the vineyards.

“Chez Jeannette” offers seasonal cuisine, prepared using the best Provençal products, in an enchanting setting that encourages relaxation.
SUNNY DISHES
At the foot of the vineyards, the ‘Chez Jeannette’ restaurant offers dishes in keeping with the seasons, featuring produce straight from the kitchen garden, the farm of the Commanderie de Peyrassol or from the short circuit of Provence. The delicate cuisine of Chef Benjamin Le Balch and his team makes Chez Jeannette a true culinary destination. In 2024, the prestigious Gault et Millau gastronomic guide awarded Chez Jeannette the ‘table de chef’ distinction with two toques, giving it a good score of 14.5/20!

A PASSIONATE TEAM IN THE KITCHEN
After honing his culinary skills at the Michelin-starred l’Aparté restaurant in Geneva, chef Benjamin Le Balch is now expressing his culinary poetry at Chez Jeannette at the Commanderie de Peyrassol. Driven by a desire to bring out the very best in nature’s produce, Benjamin le Balch is meticulous and inventive, with a passion for plant-based cuisine and a love of what he finds in the kitchen garden. This summer, his creation based on courgette, burnt, raw, cooked, with black lemon, basil, olive oil and bergamot charmed gourmets. Marie Bousquet, sous-chef, is a real asset: the accuracy of her seasonings and her creativity add a great deal of delicacy to the Chez Jeannette menu. In August, she created a creamy starter for your taste buds: fresh field tomatoes, fig leaves and creamy peanuts. The precision of pastry chef Victor Lorente turns his desserts into daring plays on textures, combining flavours with disconcerting freshness. This season, he created a voluptuous sweet with Solliès figs, cream infused with garden herbs and 8-year-old balsamic vinegar. In the dining room, an attentive and smiling team offers a service that reflects the spirit of the place.
A place dedicated to relaxation
The Commanderie de Peyrassol offers an extraordinary setting for the Chez Jeannette restaurant. Outside, the terrace on stilts is idyllic: the uninterrupted view over the estate's old vines reveals a horizon of plenitude: the floating rainbow Damier, a majestic work by Daniel Buren. Inside, the elegant, luminous design of the dining room creates a soothing setting. Friendly round tables sit alongside the hypnotic work of Loris Cecchini. A warm velvet banquette stretches out beneath a bewitching mirror, Crystal by Bertrand Lavier, recalling the classic aesthetic of Parisian bistros. The bar offers a range of wines from Vignobles Austruy and exceptional spirits, while the view of the open kitchen invites curiosity. The attentive, smiling service reflects the spirit of the place. Chez Jeannette's enchanting setting welcomes you all year round, winter and summer alike, for a memorable culinary experience.
