From Conques to Rodez, where he relocated when he took over Émilie and Thomas Roussey's restaurant, chef Hervé Busset continues to present himself as a cook and harvester. The produce he gathers from the surrounding fields and forests is supplemented by purchases from the market opposite his new premises. Hervé's creative cuisine is dictated by nature: comfrey, marigold, hedge nettle, meadowsweet and nasturtium flowers grace the plates with harmony and finesse throughout the surprise set menu. Completely refurbished, the chic, inviting setting ensures privacy for guests. The sommelier has exce

Sébastien Bras has always been inspired by the Aubrac region, drawing ingredients (flowers, herbs, vegetables) from his natural surroundings and gardens to feature on the plate. In this futuristic building with a breathtaking view of the Monts d'Aubrac, the cuisine homes in on the terroir and can be accompanied by wine from the extensive list. Should you wish to stay overnight, there are lovely guestrooms with bay windows looking out onto the Aveyron countryside. From one generation to the next, Le Suquet continues to forge its own unique path.

To quote Cyril Attrazic: “I was in love with the Maison, even before I fell for cooking”. To explain, the Maison is the family hotel restaurant business founded by his grandmother in the heart of Aubrac, a high-altitude plateau that could be mistaken for the Mongolian Steppes. By virtue of farming traditions and the harsh climate, the restaurant doesn’t mess about with hospitality, albeit in a modern vein. The chef scrupulously applies the advice of his mentor, Michel Bras: only cook local ingredients (…) with an identity. He does just this, showcasing a giant cèpe picked in the next-door wood

With this brasserie, Cyril Attrazic has created the ideal offshoot of his gourmet establishment. The modern decor, adorned with panoramic photos of Aubrac landscapes, provides the perfect foil to sample full-flavoured, well-crafted dishes, whether indoors or on the shaded alfresco area out front. A few dishes you may sample include poultry and foie gras pâté en croûte with vegetable pickles; sautéed fillet of hake, red Camargue rice and pistou of herbs; strawberries, elderflower lactic sorbet and miniature waffles.

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.

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.
