On a cosy terrace or a plush interior, Numero 9 is leading the way for Lourmarin dining, with imaginative and innovative food. The reworked short version of bouillabaisse with octopus, shrimp and girolles is an intense treat, while the ubiquitous salmon tartare is re-awakened with a balance of Asian spices. The extensive wine list is another tick. Service is friendly, attentive and bilingual. Lunch menus at 26 and 30 euros, dinner 3 courses at 48 and 62 euros.
