You are at home here, in the heart of the Provence
region, between huge fields of exquisite smelling lavender,
the Cassis « calanques » and the Sainte Victoire
Mountains. 
Not far from all this, you will find L’Etape Lani,
a gourmet and family stop!
This restaurant is mentioned in most guides and
the charm of it lies partly in the authentic and warm welcome
you will get in an establishment that has been in the hands
of the same family since 1967.
You will find more than a comfortable hotel here,
you will no doubt be charmed by the elegant and colourful dining
room.
Seated in comfortable velvet armchairs, you can
really enjoy this place that has been decorated with taste and
personality.
The atmosphere is dynamic and friendly, just
like the region itself. Smiles are everywhere, the dining room
is comfortable, the outside is charming with its pool and terrace…
nothing is lacking here.
The most pleasant surprise comes from the kitchen in this gourmet
and original restaurant. Lucien and Joël offer to introduce
you to the thousand and one delicious flavours of Provence cuisine.
Their day starts at
dawn, when they go to local markets and pick the best vegetables,
the best fruit to compose dishes from the region with very well
defined flavours.
The compositions are
traditional yet inventive, herbs and spices play an important
role. The varied species of fish go very well with the fresh
vegetables and the meat falls in love with spices from the East…
So let yourself be
charmed by this variety of flavours, a gourmet feast for gourmets
who like new emotions to share with others.
You will get a very warm welcome and will no doubt appreciate
the service in this well known restaurant!
Everything is for the best here, and is safest to book a table
in advance…
This is an establishment of style and personality; the Etape
Lani welcomes you in to go deep to the roots of the Provence
region, sweet and warm, and to enjoy a pure moment of gourmet
bliss.
Life is good at the
Etape Lani, and ideal gourmet has composed a menu that is perfect
to discover the place’s specialties, full of colours and flavours,
from the South of course!
