It’s just 12:30. It’s time for lunch! We hear a few muffled voices, others louder and the sounds of comings and goings. Displayed on the chalkboard, the menu captures everyone’s attention. Welcome to our village bistronomic restaurant: La Table d’Augustine at L’Auberge de la Madone, a name lovingly inspired by our great-grandmother.
Here, we preserve the legacy of the family-run bistro and grocery established by our grandparents in 1946 at the foot of the charming village of Peillon. It’s 1 pm, and the enticing aroma of bistro cuisine fills the air, while the clinking of cutlery reveals the satisfaction of our guests.
Village bistros of the past were places of connection, where people felt truly at home. People enjoyed gathering there in a simple and unpretentious manner. By the counter for a coffee, or around a good table to enjoy lunch and chat with friends or family. A friendly atmosphere and a concise chalkboard menu offering traditional dishes à la carte or as a set menu: here, everything is fresh and changes daily with the arrivals and the seasons.
This is exactly how we envision the bistro cuisine at our Auberge La Madone: a cuisine where you can find typical dishes from the Comté de Nice, such as Daube à la Niçoise, or a chef’s terrine worthy of the finest countryside feasts. Enjoy desserts like garden fruit tarts and traditional cakes that often evoke childhood memories—available to share or take away. People sometimes travel from afar to enjoy the daily special prepared by Thomas Millo and his team, who also oversee our fine dining restaurant.
Menu and a la CarteFor decades, from generation to generation, we have been offering a time-honoured expertise, updated to contemporary tastes, on our menu. Cooking is a vibrant and inspiring art for those who reinvent and share it. Because tradition doesn’t mean being stagnant. A delightful blend of innovations and Provençal traditions, upheld by the bistro cuisine at La Table d’Augustine.
In addition to the recipes passed down from his father Christian, Thomas draws inspiration from his training in vegetarian cuisine and the encounters that have marked his journey. A style and originality that our regulars seek in our menus and that all our guests delight in discovering.
