Dining at La Maison Bleue
The philosophy of ‘simple but excellent’ is mirrored in our restaurant: simple, unpretentious yet delicious dishes such as ‘Salade de Chévre Frais’ and ‘Daube de Boeuf’ - cooked in Grand Cru red wine. Our dishes are lovingly prepared, using only locally sourced, organic, ethical ingredients; most of which are coming directly from nearby farms who apply 100% biological and long-term sustainable farming methods. From free-range eggs and hand-made goat cheeses, to seasonal vegetables and ethically and sustainably farmed premium meats, all aspects of the food-chain have been carefully considered and arranged accordingly.
Cocktails
La Maison Bleue brings International cocktail culture to rural Provence. Our ‘En-Maison’ bar is fully stocked to satisfy Apertivo hours and late night Soirees, serving a curated selection of cocktail classics; from Americano’s and Negronis, to Manhattans and Gin & Tonics made with Provençal ‘44 N’ Gin.
Sommelier
Our simple and delicious menu with daily specials is complimented by an extensive wine list that allows connoisseurs to combine their favourite comfort foods with some of the world’s best wines. Available not only by the bottle, but also by the glass at affordable prices. Featuring French wines from Chateaux Miraval and Champagne from Louis Tollet.
Our Coffee has received special attention
Italy’s oldest family-owned coffee roaster, Caffè Vergnano from Turin have created several special blends for La Maison Bleue. But, it doesn’t stop here; a custom made coffee trolley has been crafted to showcase not only the three difference coffee bean blends to La Maison Bleue’s customers, but to grind the beans right at the customers table and prepare the coffee ‘Sur Place’, using either a legendary Italian Espresso machine, a U.S filter system or an Italian brewing pot.
Cigar Collection and Humidor
A curated collection of some of the finest Cigars is also on offer at La Maison Bleue. Our collection boasts a variety of excellent smokes for all occasions, featuring cigars from Davidoff, Cohiba and many other renowned names, curated personally by Alexander Kraft. Cigars can be enjoyed throughout the day and well into the evening under the olive trees of our terrace.
The Terrace on the Square
Ampus is a truly charming and picturesque village situated in the beautiful hills of Provcnce. Our house is perfectly positioned on the small town square of Ampus alongside the village shop, boulangerie and post office. Enjoy your lovingly prepared, locally sourced food, your morning Caffè Vergnano or your selected cigar in the Provençal sun and our olive tree filled terrace.
