The Michelin Bib Gourmand’s favorite
The Michelin Bib Gourmand is a little the nursery of the famous Michelin Guide. This one reveals for us the nuggets of a region, the local treasures, the talents of a city. His critiques, just as meticulous as those of the classic guide, have set their sights on the cuisine and values of the Bandol restaurant At Clair de la Vigne.
“Warmly hosted by a wine enthusiast, this gourmet bistro also benefits from the talents of a former chef of Christophe Bacquié. He sends a real cuisine, generous and gourmet. On the regularly renewed slate, the bistro dishes figure prominently, brought up to date with southern touches: zucchini gazpacho with mint and zucchini flower with cow brousse; roasted Mediterranean sea porgy, celeriac like a risotto; pistachio financier and strawberry soup… The icing on the cake is that the address is located in a semi-pedestrian street, just behind the seafront, but away from the tourist hustle and bustle.
All is said ! So, go for it! !
The 2025 green key has been installed in Bandol
With this last section, we are leaving the gourmet universe that we had until now to look at another subject that is just as important, if not crucial: the environment. For a seaside destination like Bandol, which welcomes thousands of holidaymakers every year, good practices and attention to respecting our nature are essential, especially for accommodation providers and leisure providers. And one hotel has understood this well...
This is the beautiful establishment Thalazur Bandol Ile Rousse 5* which has seen itself renewed once again Green Key in 2025. A label which attests to a approach to sustainable tourism and catering, carried by the entire team! This key is awarded each year by the association Teragir to a selection of benevolent institutions.
In addition, Thalazur Bandol stood out in particular for its reduction of its consumption energy, optimized water management, a fight against food waste, as well as a reflection on the life cycle of its products. Actions that have at least been beneficial for our beautiful city of Bandol and which set a good example. Bravo!
⭐️ Whether they are restaurateurs, artisans, leisure providers or hoteliers, Bandol traders have succeeded in seducing the most prestigious guides by their talent and their love of the profession. And this list of good addresses is just the beginning! In any season and in any weather, push open the doors of the shops and establishments of Bandol.
