The Moulin de Mougins is a celebrated restaurant, situated in an abandoned mill (moulin) in the inland French Riviera town of Mougins. Founding chef Roger Vergé made the restaurant's name renowned with his novel and light Cuisine de Soleil. At last report the Moulin (technically classified as an auberge or inn, as it has a couple of guest rooms) had two Michelin stars.
Following the retirement of M. Vergé, the Mougin welcomed a new chef-proprietor, Alain Llorca. Llorca was most recently head chef at the Michelin-starred Chanticler dining room in Nice's fabled Hotel Negresco.
In 1977, the famed French chef Alain Ducasse worked as an assistant at the Moulin de Mougins, and there learned the Provençal cooking methods for which he later became renowned.
