On the road between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in the heart of a tiny picturesque village near Agen, this country inn occupies a centuries-old stone house, whose terrace, shaded by ancient plane trees, faces a Clunisian priory founded in the 11C. A former consort of Michel Trama of Puymirol, chef Benjamin Toursel has forged his own distinctive modern style, scattered with bold, creative notes that frequently surprise the diner: mouth-wateringly juicy red tuna with a wasabi made out of roses, rhubarb and rose geranium; rack of veal, raw and cooked carrots and nasturtium-flavoured béarnaise.

La Table de Michel Dussau

€€

Just outside the town centre and near the rugby stadium, chef Michel Dussau whips up tasty recipes in a fashionable brasserie setting. He professes a weakness for local and seasonal ingredients, even better when organic. The establishment’s other appeals include a glazed wine cellar, a meat maturing cabinet.

She is Canadian and he’s Belgian and they have set up shop in Lectoure in a steep street near the cathedral. Half-café, half-bar, it is busy all day long for a drink, a snack or a meal. The concise menu is a savvy mix of tradition and contemporary notes: medium rare slice of roast veal with girolles and confit potatoes, fried aubergines with a Japanese twist and a creamy cheese, or figs in red wine delicately laid on a hazelnut cake and mascarpone mousse. Pastel tones and stone set the scene in the large dining room, the mezzanine area is eminently friendly and the terrace invariably bathed in

Maison K

From the open kitchen of this hybrid space – part delicatessen, wine bar and restaurant –, a seasoned chef sends out dishes that are perfectly in tune with the convivial setting: spontaneous, precise, designed to delight without overthinking things. The pigeon and green asparagus, expertly cooked over coals and finished with a reduced pink peppercorn jus, is a standout example. The wine list comprises a constantly evolving selection of well-priced bottles (mostly biodynamic or natural) from small producers, and the enthusiastic front-of-house team is on hand to recommend just the right tipple.

This contemporary bistro is bistronomic at lunchtime and gastronomic in the evenings. In the hands of a veteran chef from Aveyron, overflowing with contagious enthusiasm, this friendly, invariably-packed eatery focuses on local, seasonal produce, jazzed up with the occasional globetrotting souvenir. We tasted duck foie gras terrine with pineapple and ginger chutney followed by roast guinea fowl, cream of green peas and a samosa of pleurote mushrooms.

Mr Guss

Augustin Guibert, a.k.a. Guss, a chef with an impeccable track record, has gone solo in this contemporary eatery on the ground-floor of a handsome 19C stone building. This inventive cook impresses with his manifest technical skill, which allows him to play with flavours and textures, as is the case with a crunchy tartlet of velvety onions, carrots confit in their jus, calamansi gel, pesto ice cream and a cromesquis of feta and honey. Hats off to the loving care and attention lavished on the splendid local produce, particularly veggies. We warrant that each colourful dish will bring a smile to
