Restaurant Marcon

Creative · ★★★ Michelin

€€€€

The Marcons are a family team: Régis Marcon senior, self-proclaimed Auvergnat-Italian, exceptional cook, entrepreneur and culinary authority, works with his sons, Jacques, who has confidently moved to the forefront, and Paul, Bocuse d’Or 2025. Here, one thing is clear: the market and the seasons dictate the menu. There is something for everyone: meat from the plateau, Le Puy green lentils, asparagus, broad beans, snails and, above all, mushrooms – the family speciality, which they pick in autumn. This is food with strong roots – whole roasted Vocance squab paired with stewed green peas and stu

Le Chamarlenc

Creative · ★ Michelin

€€€

This institution lives on under the stewardship of a young couple who came here from La Mirande (Avignon): chef Yoan Delorme and head waiter Cellia Baudelier. The chef dreams up tasty, precise and imaginative dishes, such as tartlet in the style of a pissaladière with its anchovy pieces, bacon and onion mousse, and a fresh salad of green beans, chard, chervil, tarragon and coriander, or pig's knuckle and a salad of grilled corn with lemon, fermented mustard seeds, preserved lemon paste and creamy polenta. This is of course a success story that goes hand in hand with respect for the seasons and

Casa Verde

This restaurant is accommodated in a small building of local stone. With its exposed stone or forest green walls, wooden ceilings and beams, the interior is reminiscent of a forester's lodge. Two brothers, one in the kitchen, the other in the dining room, bring warmth to this establishment, the name of which is a tribute to their grandfather, who was a forest ranger in Spain. The somewhat creative cuisine sees a fusion of local and Iberian influences and nods to Japan – a country the inseparable pair are very drawn to. The Lagarto ibérico (a pork rib-loin strip), cooked on the shichirin barbec

La Table des Matrus

€€

Youth, enthusiasm and unbridled creativity: chef Matéo Ravel is a real ball of energy in his trendy bistro with an open kitchen and exposed pipework. A true artisan, he cultivates relationships with a network of small-scale producers and natural winemakers. He bakes his own natural sourdough bread (it's excellent) and has mastered various fermentation techniques, which he incorporates into flavour-packed seasonal recipes: pollock white pudding with fenugreek and a Comté foam, Duroc pork loin, cauliflower and a robust grape-seed jus, or dark chocolate flan with tonka bean served warm with Piper

Originally from Cuzieu, a mere 2km away, Antoine Bergeron is very much a local boy. Ambitious and passionate about his work, he takes you on a surprise fine dining journey that subtly, creatively and joyfully showcases ingredients from hand-picked suppliers. Comfortably seated in the bright, contemporary dining room, you will enjoy a culinary tour of the region and the local markets. For example, Drôme zander with sorrel, tarragon and vanilla-laced fish stock; fillet of Aubrac beef, red cabbage in walnut oil and anise hyssop sabayon. Food that nurtures the soul, with special mention for the sa

L'Acte 2

Modern Cuisine · Bib

€€

Before modernising these premises, Julie (restaurant floor and wine) and Lucas (kitchen) met at Régis and Jacques Marcon's restaurant, a benchmark if ever there was one. At L'Acte 2, they are now welcoming customers of their own into this small, contemporary dining space. Slow-cooked egg, cauliflower cream, grilled onion emulsion, baby spinach and peanuts; guinea fowl cooked two ways, pearl barley risotto, wilted carrot tops and mushrooms, jus corsé: he goes all out in his endeavours to create well-crafted dishes.

Bistrot la Coulemelle

Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

This delightful bistro in the middle of the village is an outpost of Régis and Jacques Marcon's fine dining restaurant. Traditional pâté en croûte, updated with every season; roast chicken fillet, chicken leg rillettes with hazelnut and pumpkin; cheeses from the Ardèche and Auvergne: What more can we say? This hearty fare is fiendishly delicious. The open kitchens lend the place an inviting feel.

Maison Vidal - Le Bistrot de Justin

Modern Cuisine, Traditional Cuisine · Bib

€€

Le Bistrot de Justin pays tribute to the grandfather of chef Aurélien Vidal (that's him in the mural). Justin and Odette Vidal opened a buvette (bar, café, restaurant all in one) on the village square in 1954, which has since morphed into this friendly, inviting bistro. Enjoy indulgent and hearty traditional cuisine that is reasonably priced and draws on the local terroir. Rest assured: the pâté en croûte, which can also be found on the fine dining menu, is still a mainstay on the menu!
