The vegetable garden and orchard at Hostellerie de l’Abbaye de La Celle
"From garden to plate" is the chef's philosophy on how to cook and even how to live life.
Every morning, he encourages his teams to start their day by visiting the vegetable garden, to see what is in season. The resident gardener picks the fruit and vegetables and delivers them to the kitchen.
Divided into three levels, the vegetable garden offers aromatic herbs, courgettes and tomatoes, according to the season.
The orchard offers ideas for desserts using cherries, sour cherries or persimmons as inspiration...
Daily interaction between people and nature guides the refined and subtle cuisine of this gastronomique restaurant in the Var.
