Hôtel de la Muse et du Rozier

In a narrow pedestrian street of Millau, near the Fontaine du Mandarins, the dinky Maison Seed is the lair of a globe-trotting couple. A vaulted dining room provides the backdrop to indulgent, fusion-style dishes that incorporate oils, vinegars, sourdough bread, etc, all made in-house, and available to take home. An intimate, eco-conscious restaurant that combines flavours from near and far.

Not far from the Cirque de Navacelles, in a small village on the southern edge of the limestone plateau that is the Causse du Larzac, Pricillia Lebon's restaurant is housed in a converted inn. Beneath the stone vaults, the inviting, cosy decor reflects the endearing personality of a chef who has come to this beautiful, isolated setting to cook. The surprise set menu celebrates the Larzac area, with ingredients sourced mainly via short supply chains (not least from local market gardens), as well as from mushroom and plant picking. Plants reign supreme in the intuitive, light and aromatic dishes

In the heart of the Cévennes, this charming inn is the domain of a chef who specialises in cleverly crafted dishes using regionally sourced produce. On the wine side, Pierrette, a talented sommelier, will help you choose from the 300 references available… Let’s not forget the splendid cheeseboard!

It's no secret: when the food is good, it's a real hit! The cuisine is delicious and oscillates between traditional brasserie dishes (fillet of beef, knife-cut steak tartare, roast loin of veal etc) and Mediterranean touches such as pasta risotto with baby squid, chorizo and a shellfish jus. Reservations strongly recommended.

On the ground floor of the hotel, this restaurant, which sports a bright, modern interior, is enthusiastically helmed by Loïc and Océane Gay. Regional produce (Aubrac beef and trout) takes front stage in soul-warming, indulgent dishes: persillade of lamb sweetbreads or squab breast. Traditional aligot (mashed potatoes and cheese) is served with the main course.

This chic, rustic inn commands a breathtaking view of the famous Bozouls Canyon, a natural cirque hewn out of the limestone plateau. The chef has a contagious enthusiasm for traditional farming methods and wines from small-scale producers, as shown by a dish such as house-smoked bacon, green beans, potatoes and herbs, Causses yoghurt.
