Restaurant Review Villa Saint-Antoine in Violès

As soon as we arrive in Sablet, we visit Le Pain Médiéval Boulangerie manned by Jeannine and Julien, then proceed to Votre Marché owned by Mimi and Alain, and Café des Sports owned by Bruno Bordeaux, in hopes our friends will be there so we can “faire la bise” and say “bonjour” and quickly catch up. On our most recent visit, several asked if we had heard about a new restaurant called “Villa Saint-Antoine?”

Villa Saint-Antoine in Violès opened in July 2018 and is both a restaurant and a four (4) room chambre d’hôtes (bed and breakfast) including pool, cabanas, and children’s playground. Villa Saint-Antoine has a garden in Montmoiron which supplies fruits and vegetables for the kitchen. Address: 533 route de Cairanne, 84150 Violès, Vaucluse. In good weather, they offer al fresco dining on a chic shaded terrace.
