Le Relais du Coche, Traditional restaurant in Eyguières, France.
Le Relais du Coche occupies converted stables from a former postal relay station, with original architectural details still visible throughout. The menu features regional dishes using local ingredients, with particular emphasis on seafood and house-smoked preparations.
The building served as a postal relay station for horse-drawn transport in its early years. The former stables were later transformed into dining rooms while keeping their original structure intact.
The name recalls its past as a postal relay point, and this heritage shapes how the space functions today. Provençal cooking traditions blend with modern techniques, visible in regional specialties like the house-smoked salmon and foie gras preparations.
The restaurant operates mainly on evenings and weekend lunch service, making it a destination for planned visits. Advance reservations are strongly recommended given the limited seating capacity of around 50 guests.
The chef personally roasts spices and smokes various ingredients in-house, including baking bread from scratch. Tasting menus encompass both seafood and land-based dishes, an unusual range for such a small establishment.
