Le Relais des Moines

Le Relais des Moines stands on Route de Sainte Roseline in Les Arcs-sur-Argens, in the countryside close to Trans-en-Provence. Chef Sébastien Sanjou discovered the house in February 2002 and developed it with his team into a restaurant shaped by two regions: his native southwest France and the Provençal and Mediterranean landscape around him. Sanjou comes from Bigorre and a family involved in food trades for five generations. That background remains part of his cooking, while the surrounding area's growers and other producers provide its present-day foundation. The result is contemporary food organised around seasonal ingredients and the people who supply them. A terrace sits within wooded grounds containing old oaks and pines. From there, the outlook takes in the medieval village of Les Arcs and the Massif des Maures. It is a setting that places the landscape alongside the cooking, with trees and the wider countryside forming part of the experience. The autumn menu includes roasted fish with violet artichokes and black olives, line-caught hake with cauliflower, samphire and cockles, and roast quail with confit legs and butternut squash. Other preparations bring together beef, ceps and chard, or raw scallops with fennel and citrus. Desserts feature local figs, pears, honey and hazelnuts, and there is a selection of farmhouse cheeses. Guests can choose a menu built as a sequence of courses or explore the individual dishes. Tables can be reserved directly, and enquiries about private events are welcomed through a dedicated form.
