La Bòria
Creative · ★ Michelin
€€€
The view over the valley and the surrounding Ardèche hillsides, a beautiful timber structure, chestnut wood tables, an indoor aromatic herb garden and the etymology of the name bòria ("small Cévennes farm" in Ardèche dialect) - the stage is set! Assisted by a high-flying team whose wholehearted commitment to the house ethos is beyond doubt, chef Florian Descours pays tribute to his rural roots with fresh, local produce: beef from Privas, pork from Beaulieu, snails from the Eyrieux valley and trout from Vercors). A treat from beginning to end, from the grilled baby gem lettuce and Villevocance

Auberge de Montfleury
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
This discreet inn near Aubenas boasts an elegant contemporary setting. The chef prepares cuisine that espouses the zeitgeist, drawing on the terroir and modern trends, with a distinct penchant for small-scale producers. Free-range farm-raised pork, snails, saffron, goat's cheese, wild herbs picked by hand: everything is local. Efficient and cordial service.

Epona
Traditional Cuisine · Bib
€€
Epona, Gallic goddess of travellers and abundance, watches over this welcoming establishment, conveniently located between Valence and Montélimar in the Ardèche. In the evenings and at weekends, peruse the set menu (without options) and the short, appetising seasonal à la carte menu. Rustic and warm, as he himself defines it, the chef's cuisine is rooted in the local terroir. With real jus and pretty presentations, his dishes show a deft touch: cold courgette velouté and gravlax salmon; confit pork belly and seasonal vegetables. At lunchtime, a daily menu only is served.

Le Carré d'Alethius
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
Between the départements of Drôme and Ardèche, this restaurant named after Roman senator Alethius has a distinctly Provençal air about it. The villa is arranged around a square courtyard, a gorgeous verdant patio where you can dine in fine weather. After working for Jean-Michel Lorain at La Côte Saint-Jacques, Olivier Samin occupied the post of sous-chef for Anne-Sophie Pic for a long time. He delivers fresh cuisine that reflects the seasons and market availability (eg regional fruit and vegetables, escargots from Helix Eyrieux, local cheeses), and he also has a tremendous sense of balance: pr

Pic
Creative · ★★★ Michelin
€€€€
The first thing to mention about Maison Pic (in the Drôme département of southeast France) is its special atmosphere. An artfully lit room designed to cast light on the dishes, floral creations, a thick carpet that muffles the steps of a front-of-house team dressed in classic attire. Here, they serve food the old-fashioned way, on a porcelain plate under a cloche. The lofty culinary obsessions of a chef who has been dubbed "the tightrope walker of flavours" – adulation of Japan, original presentations – make themselves felt in the dishes. Anne-Sophie Pic now serves a single set menu with seven

Le Kléber - La Maison Bonnet
Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€
(Temporarily closed) Julie and Sébastien Bonnet have settled in a pretty country village a few kilometres from Crest, their previous haunt. In an edifice dear to Sébastien’s heart (it was formerly the Demeure de Grane, a local institution where he carried out his apprenticeship), he enthusiastically demonstrates that both his talents and his seasonal fare, equally poised between surf and turf produce, are as enticing as ever. His spot-on, sophisticated, occasionally playful dishes are served in two cosily contemporary dining rooms. The splendid wine list, with Rhône wines in a prominent positi

Le Colombier
Creative, Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin
€€€€
Built on the ruins of a hermitage in the heart of Provençal Drôme, this proud homestead first woos us with its bare stone walls and lime vaults. Johan Thyriot then bowls us over with a creative score presented by theme: Water, Earth, Air and Fire. Dishes, such as ikejime trout or guinea fowl roasted whole, are further enhanced by permaculture vegetables. Rare peppers and aromatic plants are the guiding thread that binds these compositions together. High-flying, distinctive craftsmanship.
