The story
Restaurant Pierre Grein, at 180 avenue Régis-Ryckebusch in Manosque, France, is a modern Provençal restaurant that holds a Michelin star (2026). The kitchen runs a gastronomic dining room alongside a lunchtime bistro.
Chef Pierre Grein trained at well-regarded houses on the Côte d'Azur before opening his own restaurant in Manosque. His cooking draws on local produce and Mediterranean flavours. The menus change with the seasons, and the surprise menu is rebuilt around what is available.
The dining room is chic and intimate, and guests often describe the service as attentive without being intrusive. Next door, the Bistrot du Chef sits inside the fine food shop and serves lunch only, with a French bistro menu built from fresh deliveries. Reviewers have singled out the apple dessert, which is a good reason to save room.
