Starters
Begin your meal with inventive starters that balance delicate flavors and textures.

Mains
The mains at Le Lauracée are a celebration of Provence’s finest ingredients, treated with finesse and creativity. Delight in the Coquilles Saint Jacques snackées, paired with a zesty mousseline au sucs d’orange Maltaise and fresh green asparagus. For seafood lovers, the Saint Pierre cuit meunière is served alongside local green asparagus, girolles mushrooms, and a parmesan crumble for a perfectly balanced dish.
A standout is the Loup de Méditerranée, flame-cooked and accompanied by a nutty risotto de petit épeautre, finished with a luxurious beurre de vin jaune and black truffle accented squash. Meat enthusiasts will appreciate the Bœuf de race entrecôte grilled over charcoal, served with petite grenailles potatoes and a rich marrow butter reminiscent of a classic Mt d’hôtel preparation. Another hearty option is the Côte de cochon fermier Pata Negra bellota grilled and served with young carrots, artichokes in paella jus, soccarat rice crust, and chorizo, delivering bold Spanish-inspired flavors.
