Hôtel du Couvent

In the charming, peaceful setting of this former silkworm farm, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, dine in the resolutely contemporary interior or on the pleasant terrace in a pretty courtyard. The cuisine draws inspiration from the terroir and tradition to showcase local ingredients: aubergine caviar with extra virgin olive oil; delicious daube provençale (beef stew); pistachio financier and vanilla mousseline. As an added bonus, you can taste the wines and olive oil produced right here on the estate. Spacious contemporary guestrooms and a sense of serenity.

In the historical centre of this village near the Ardèche Gorges, the chef, who is originally from Brittany, confidently sets about regaling diners with locally sourced ingredients (vegetables and cheeses in particular). The menu, renewed every month, is packed with indulgent and generous dishes. Front of house, Philippine's good humour sets the tone.
