A cuisine born from a personal story

Gluten-free gastronomic dish from La Fenière, creative cuisine inspired by Provençal terroir

Rooted in her native Provence, La Fenière is more than a restaurant: it embodies a relocated, sustainable and deeply human agricultural and nourishing present.
At the foot of the Luberon, the house opens onto a vast wooded park, offering a peaceful setting where nature inspires every dish.

La Fenière champions a gastronomy that connects agriculture, food, health and pleasure, relying on local producers, sustainable practices and a culinary creativity turned towards the future.

Each meal thus becomes a virtuous and joyful experience, where Provençal flavors meet innovation, and where taste is rediscovered in all its richness.

 

Nadia Sammut, first Michelin-starred 100% gluten-free chef and creator of Cuisine Libre

Nadia Sammut & Cuisine Libre®

The first Michelin-starred chef 100% gluten-free, Nadia Sammut turned her fight against celiac disease into a creative force. Born into a family of gastronomes, she took over Auberge La Fenière in Cadenet alongside her mother Reine to invent Cuisine Libre®, a committed, inclusive and joyful gastronomy.

Passionate about both cooking and chemistry, she experiments with alternative flours (rice, chickpea, chestnut, quinoa…) and works hand in hand with local producers. Recognized by the Michelin Guide, Nadia Sammut embodies a cuisine that is healthy, sustainable and deeply gourmet.
