• Maison Decoret★ Michelin (Temporarily closed) In a stylish Napoleon III mansion in the heart of Vichy, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Jacques Decoret rolls out his inventive repertory founded on local country produce. He is surrounded by his family (Martine, his wife, in the front of house and his sons in the kitchen: Alexis, savoury chef and Antoine, pastry chef). The score is decidedly surf and turf-centric: cubes of langoustine tails, lentils from the Quatre Vents farm, creamy stock and red butter; roast fillet of lamb, seaweed-spiked Charroux mustard and Cancale oyster seasoning.

• L’Écrin de Marlène Nestled in the spa district, the Fer à Cheval shopping mall surrounds the bandstand and the Source de l'Hôpital, which location lends it an undeniable charm. This is the setting in which chef Marlène Chaussemy has set up shop, creating an attractive contemporary decor for her restaurant. Opt for the dining area overlooking the park. By focusing on freshness and seasonality, this cuisine revolving around top-notch ingredients delivers on its promises: tender rack of pork, flavoursome parsnips, delicious delicately breaded black pudding, chocolate soufflé with ice cream and banana flambéed with 299m
• L'Hippocampe In his restaurant near the Parc des Sources, chef Gilles Ruyet prepares seafood dishes in a traditional vein: sole meunière, seared halibut with a beurre blanc sauce, not forgetting the crystallised orange soufflé with Grand Marnier – prepared by his daughter Marianne, who is also to be seen on the restaurant floor. Attractive contemporary decor, plus a view of the kitchen and the lobster tank.358m
• Les Caudalies Les Caudalies in Vichy has it all: a stylishly elegant dining room strewn with contemporary details, an appealing wine list with over 900 labels selected by Lucie, chef Emmanuel Basset’s wife, and a culinary line-up of tasty and generous dishes that tread a fine line between tradition and modernity. NB: check out the “cadole” dining area, between the wine cellar and the kitchen, which sports a vintner's lodge vibe.433m
• Château du Bost A few minutes from Vichy, in peaceful grounds, this château with towers and a water-filled moat (15C-19C) offers a contemporary and cosy decor, complemented by a beautiful terrace and some comfortable guestrooms.

• Auberge du Pont Ten kilometres outside Vichy in a village dominated by a 12C fortress, this inn is near a bridge over the Allier dating from the 1930s. In a contemporary interior, the owner-chef signs a single set, market-sourced menu at a bargain price and a more elaborate score in the evenings: roast tomatoes in aspic, espuma of stracciatella in a gazpacho or a ‘blesotto’ of bouchot mussels and cockles with a shellfish foam. When the weather is fine, the shady terrace overlooking the river is truly blissful!12.4km
