This restaurant, located in the courtyard of an inn, sports a cosy mix of bare stone walls, a marble floor, a decorative fireplace and modern features such as workshop-style glass partitions and wooden screens. The food is the joint work of a couple, both locals, who have set up shop on the premises of the inn that belonged to her mother. Examples of their knockout score include crispy black pudding, amandine, black pork chorizo, squid and smoked gravy; a sorbet and a cream of lemon and Kampot pepper, mascarpone mousse and pinenuts. All the delicious bread, ice creams and sorbets are made from

Trout from Lau-Balagnas, rabbit from Julos, lamb from Val d'Azun, carrots from Lézignan, dairy produce from Ferme Sayous, coffee roasted in Sassis: Céline, the sommelier and restaurant manager, never misses a chance to sing the praises of the super-local ingredients that her chef partner, Mathieu, expertly crafts into succulent dishes. After training in top establishments (including L'Artichaut, Montpellier), the couple has found their way to our hearts via our stomachs and our tastebuds: organic egg, cream of Jerusalem artichoke, sweet onions, emulsion of star anise; squash-flavoured brioche

A former helicopter pilot who now devotes himself body and soul to cooking, Christophe Bellegaud is at the controls of this restaurant, which sports a tasteful cream and chocolate colour scheme. He uses local ingredients to create 100% homemade up-to-the-minute market cuisine that is always spot on. Chantal, the second “c” of this o2c, gracefully caters to diner’s needs.

Welcome to the village of Saint-Savin, which is a vantage point overlooking the Argelès valley and home to this family-run restaurant with a classic, elegant feel. In the kitchen, Alexis (representing the seventh generation of chefs in the family!) treats diners to dishes that are an ode to the terroir, courtesy of local produce enhanced with more modern touches. The desserts, in particular, are fantastic, eg the macaron and nougatine ice cream. Charming guestrooms.

No need to be a guest at the Miramont Hotel to enjoy the chef's cuisine. He of course pays homage to Pyrenean culinary heritage but doesn't hesitate to make a few welcome innovations.

This pleasant village "inn" halfway between two famous passes – Col d'Aubisque and Col du Tourmalet – stands surrounded by the peaks of the Pyrenees. The menu features wonderful traditional dishes that are big on flavour and nicely presented: noir de Bigorre black pork loin, braised sweetbreads, Pyrenean trout. Pretty little guestrooms available!

In the village of Lézignan on the outskirts of Lourdes, this tastefully restored barn – with its wood-panelled decor, braids of garlic and bunches of chillis, hanging saucepans and wine racks – now serves as chef Christophe Dufau's open kitchen. He has decided to go his own way, embracing culinary freedom and cooking at his own pace at this unique table d'hôtes. Each week, local ingredients and produce from the generous kitchen garden surrounding the barn find their place in the single multi-course set menu.
