Exceptional closure of the Bistrot
Dear customers and friends of Hostellerie Bérard,
The last two years have been particularly marked by a manpower deficit in the hotel and catering sector and this is still the case with more than 200,000 vacancies. These difficulties also concern us and in order to maintain a constant level of quality within the starred gastronomic restaurant René'Sens, we would like to inform you that Jef's Bistrot will not be opening for the 2023 summer season.
It is with great reluctance that we take this decision and we hope we can count on your understanding.
The René'Sens gourmet restaurant remains open from Wednesday to Sunday, for lunch and dinner. We offer a lunch menu from Wednesday to Friday at 46€ to make the starred experience accessible to as many people as possible.
Yours sincerely
The Bérard Family
The Chief
Jean-François Bérard
Born in the heart of Provence with parents who had just taken over the business. After a year at the Lenôtre School, Jean-François worked for a few months at the Pré Catalan where he learned to to master, alongside Frédéric Anton, the purity of the preparation, the accuracy of the cooking and the regularity. Returning to the Hostellerie in 2003, it was natural that Jean-François Bérard joined his father in the kitchen. Together, they won the Michelin star in 2006 for the gastronomic restaurant, and in 2020, the ecological and sustainable approach was rewarded by the green star and the effort of the garden of the Bastide des Saveurs.
Jef's Bistrot is a place where pure Provencal cuisine is honored.
Conviviality, sharing and the love of good products are the starting point of this will.
"In the kitchen we have to start from scratch every day because a garden lives 24 hours a day. "
It is by following this maxim that together and as a family, they give life to this magical place where they cultivate the exceptional every day.
