Food and Entertainment
Restaurant La Pastorale
Without a doubt the best restaurant in the Luberon. Maarten, Jessica and their team have created a relaxed, friendly environment where the emphasis is on using local products, in season, to produce a fine dining experience at sensible prices. Special dietary needs can be catered for if you let them know in advance. English, French, Dutch and Italian is spoken at this restaurant.
This is a popular eating place so book early to avoid disappointment.
The Sunday Market at Reillanne
The Reillanne market follows the grand tradition of French markets but with a more relaxed, personal feeling. Here you can get the best of local, in season produce, cheeses, honey, herbs, olives, breads and a host of other products too numerous to mention. The market opens early and closes around midday. Most people come for a bit of shopping, enjoy a coffee in one of the café bars and end up staying for lunch.
There are additional mini markets in Reillanne throughout the week: Fresh fruit and Veg (Thursday) and Fish(Friday)
Reillanne’s Café Bars
The Café du Cours and Café de la Place are located in the centre of the village. With their large terraces they are a favourite location for a morning coffee, lunch, dinner or just to enjoy a game of backgammon and a drink on a hot summers day.
Both café bars tend to fill up quickly for lunch and dinner, so booking ahead of time is advisable.
Livc Music - the Café du Cours
The Café du Cours is famous for its live music events. These take place twice a week during July and August, or every Friday night for the rest of the year. You can expect everything from Jazz balkan and Gipsey Folk music to you name it. Look at their face book page for details.
Reillanne Festivals
Reillanne is blessed to have a very active festival committee, delivering high quality family entertainment throughout the year. In 2020 the Grand Buillion returns. This festival is organised by the local performing artists and includes art exhibitions, artistic workshops for children as well as adults, live music, acrobats and comic performances over a three day period.
