Please inform us of any allergies or intolerances when you book. We do our utmost to accommodate specific requirements, but we reserve the right to decline a reservation if dietary restrictions cannot be accommodated without compromising the quality or the distinctiveness of our dishes.
Villa Madie has a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, which is open whenever the weather permits.
The restaurant has been awarded three Michelin stars, earned in 2022, following a second star received in 2014. It is also featured in the Gault & Millau guide.
La Villa Madie has been run by Marielle and Dimitri Droisneau since 2013. A native of Normandy, chef Dimitri Droisneau trained in leading Parisian establishments, including La Tour d'Argent, Le Bristol, Lucas Carton and L'Ambroisie, before making Provence his source of inspiration.
Fine Mediterranean cuisine, built around the day's catch, foraged ingredients and produce from our own gardens and orchards. Every dish follows the rhythm of the seasons and showcases the local producers of the land surrounding the restaurant.
The architecture is contemporary, the interior all curves, pastel tones and pale wood, turned entirely towards the sea. Everything has been designed so that the landscape remains the true setting of your meal.
La Villa Madie is nestled in the Anse de Corton cove, at 386 Avenue du Revestel in Cassis, facing Cap Canaille and overlooking the Mediterranean. The restaurant is just a few minutes from the village centre and its harbour.

The dining experience
The same menu must be chosen for the whole table. This choice allows the kitchen and the dining room to orchestrate the meal at a single tempo, from the first act to the last.
Our menus are designed as an experience in their own right. Their length varies according to the menu chosen and the pace of each table. If you have a time constraint, please let us know when booking so that we can adapt the service accordingly.
Our cuisine is best discovered through the tasting menus, served in four, six or eight acts depending on the service and the season. Their composition is detailed on the Menus page of the website, as a guide only, as it changes with each day's deliveries.
Smart casual attire is appreciated. At dinner, we ask that gentlemen wear long trousers and closed shoes.
Our cheese trolley, with a selection by Benoît Lemarié, is offered as a supplement to the menus. Our team will present its composition to you at the appropriate moment.
Wines and food pairings
Our sommelier team composes a food and wine pairing in harmony with each of our menus. They present its principle at the table and are glad to adjust it to your taste.
Our sommeliers will gladly guide you towards the wines of Cassis and Provence, in direct echo of the terroir surrounding the house. They can equally lead you towards other regions should you wish.
Mention it to our sommelier team: they will suggest alternatives built in the same spirit of harmony with the dishes. Told at the time of booking, they will have greater latitude to surprise you.
A sommelier accompanies you from the beginning to the end of the meal, taking into account the menu chosen, your preferences and your budget. Do not hesitate to share your wishes with them: the advice is meant as an exchange, never a prescription.
