The personality of Pèir restaurant springs from its setting, the Bastide de Gordes. The single, intimate room, with only 20 place settings, boasts a terrace with sweeping views of the Lubéron flatlands.
The atmosphere is clear and mineral, beckoning nature inside in all its glory. We travel back in time to the kitchens of an eighteenth-century château, to the dawn of modernism in the French countryside. Delicate organic textures like wood and wicker offset the calm power of ancient stone.
The central hearth is large enough to house a wood-fired oven. A hint of lavender hanging from the bare wood beams wafts through the air, while antique dishes glisten on the walls.
The furniture blends into the décor with understated poise. Ottomans in the recessed areas hold ladies’ handbags.
The restaurant’s spontaneity and minimalism create an ideal setting to showcase Pierre Gagnaire’s culinary art.
