Le Bellevue

Chef-patron Yann Ghazal runs this restaurant perched on the banks of the Ariège. A relaxed atmosphere prevails in the dining area, which has been given an appealing facelift. The menu features indulgent, colourful dishes: crispy-runny egg, warm chorizo chantilly cream and black garlic powder; beef cheek braised in red wine, lardo di Colonnata, Chasselas grapes, tender carrots and potato purée – all at reasonable prices. The shady riverside terrace is absolutely sublime.

Le Gentiane

€€Traditional Cuisine

Gentian root is lauded for various properties, one of which stimulates the appetite – true to its name, this place does just that! Nicolas Bachon and his father work in tandem in the kitchen, cooking up traditional dishes with a modern twist (such as the sautéed beef mignon). Service with a smile from their respective wives. During the week, the lunch menu is a real bargain!
