I never miss a visit to Malavard when I am in the region. A family run food-shop with top quality meats, game, poultry and charcuterie in addition to an array of prepared Provencal dishes like lapin a la moutarde made fresh everyday. Worth the wait if there is a line-up on market day.

I always plan a menu with them when it is a special occasion (Christmas and Easter) and order ahead. I have never been disappointed.
