The Moulin de Mougins is a distinguished dining establishment situated within a 16th-century mill (moulin) in the inland town of Mougins on the French Riviera. Established by chef Roger Vergé, it became well-known for pioneering the light and innovative Cuisine de Soleil. In addition to its restaurant services, the Moulin operates as an auberge, providing several guest accommodations.
By 30 August 2009, the restaurant was awarded a four "knives and forks" distinction in the Michelin Guide.
Following Vergé's departure from the culinary scene, Alain Llorca—previously head chef at the Michelin-starred Chantecler located in Nice's Hotel Negresco—assumed leadership. In March 2009, Sébastien Chambru, who had worked at 'Restaurant Paul Bocuse' near Lyon, was appointed Chef des Cuisines.
A significant chapter in the Moulin’s history includes renowned chef Alain Ducasse, who served as an assistant there in 1977, developing the Provençal culinary skills that later defined his professional path.
After Sébastien Chambru’s exit in 2013, Chef Erwan Louaisil took over and continues to uphold the restaurant’s exceptional gastronomic reputation.
