A cuisine

In the heart of Bandol, Chef Bastien Cabasson offers a refined, flavorful, and elegant cuisine that revolves around the seasons.

At L’ALCÔVE, each dish tells a story of local produce, flavors, and aromas, with a touch of influence from elsewhere.

The harmony of flavors, seasoning, and culinary techniques come together in surprising and indulgent creations, accompanied by a carefully selected wine list and attentive service to offer you moments rich in sharing and emotions.

"My passion is to contribute to a refined, inspired, and elegant cuisine that is both authentic and modern, that speaks of memories and at the same time creates new ones..."
