The story

Le Mas Bottero in Aix-en-Provence: Modern Cuisine With a Michelin Star

Le Mas Bottero is a modern cuisine restaurant at 2340 route d'Aix-en-Provence in Saint-Cannat, a short drive from Aix-en-Provence. The Michelin Guide awarded it one star in 2026, and it is a fine dining table built around Provençal produce.

Nicolas Bottero's cooking

The chef, Nicolas Bottero, cooks a personal, refined style rooted in the Provençal terroir. Local producers supply much of the kitchen, and the menus follow the seasons. The house describes its approach as respect for the product, seasonality and precise cooking times. Because produce changes with the market, dishes may differ between the day you book and the day you dine. The We're Smart Green Guide gave the restaurant three radishes in 2026.

Rooms, pantry and gifts

Diners can eat in the salon, at the chef's counter, at the solid wood communal table, in the main dining room or on the terrace beside the chef's aromatic herb garden. The room has a warm, unfussy feel, with organic preserves on display. Next door, the boutique gourmande works as a takeaway pantry of southern French produce, and gift boxes bring the table, the grocery and the region's specialities together.
