Looking to make some postcard-perfect memories in Provence? Les Vins au Vert is a good place to…read morestart. Right in the center of Banon, one of Haute Provence's many quaint hilltop villages, Les Vins au Vert has prime sidewalk seating (just 2 tables, so come before lunchtime), a robust cellar of natural local wines, and an indulgent menu of French staples: cheese plates, charcuterie, and larger plates. By noon, the indoor cellar seating is packed full and buzzing with locals.

I then had my savoury pancake (after assuring my boyfriend that no of course everything didn't come in pancakes! It doesn't - I was just unlucky!). He got steak and chips, after we had desserts we definitely didn't need of pistachio ice cream and chocolate sauce, and he had a strawberry crêpe! We also accidentally ordered a litre of wine between us, cheap but tasty as with all alcohol here! A nice evening and a relatively busy restaurant with good food and lovely staff despite our shocking French!
