The story
La Magdeleine - Mathias Dandine, at 2 rond-point des Charrons in Gémenos, is a Mediterranean restaurant that holds one Michelin star (2026). The kitchen is led by chef Mathias Dandine and sits within an 18th-century bastide on a wooded estate close to Marseille.
The menus follow the seasons, local producers and the estate's own kitchen garden. The house describes its cooking as sincere and elegant, with a Provençal base and a modern hand. Lunch on weekdays includes a "Club affaires" menu, served Tuesday to Friday.
Meals are served in the restaurant, on a shaded terrace beneath plane trees, and in the orangerie. The estate's historic salons and roughly two hectares of park give the meal a slower pace before or after dinner.
