• Le Haut-Allier★ Michelin The Brun family's hotel-restaurant set in the Gorges de l'Allier looks out over the bridge and the river. With a close connection to their terroir, Clément, the son, in charge in the kitchen; Camille, his partner, who takes care of desserts, and the parents, Philippe and Michelle, elevate this rugged landscape. Through their cuisine, they celebrate the many ingredients to be found in nature in these parts: mushrooms, Auvergne meats and cheeses, salmon from a fish farm in the area, as well as wild plants and flowers. Tuck into a delicious ceviche of trout with Espelette pepper, avocado and tara7.3km
• Le Chamarlenc★ 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 and27.6km
• Cyril Attrazic★★ Michelin 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 wood33.0km
• L'ErmitageBib This beautifully restored old barn has retained its homely rustic appeal. The chef, whose CV boasts establishments of the calibre of Jacques Maximin and La Grenouillère, conjures up delicate traditional fare. The organic local (Aurillac) beef is sometimes carved in front of diners, as are some fish. The menu includes home-made patés and saucisson and a splendid cheese trolley. Let’s not forget the open fire in winter and the inviting terrace in summertime. What’s not to like?27.1km
• L'ÉmotionBib From one year to the next and from one location to another, local chef-owner Michaël Ruat has been regaling the lucky diners of Puy-en-Velay. The interior sports natural materials and designer details (glazed wine cellar). The food forges a culinary course between regional Haute Loire ingredients (green lentils, Fin Gras du Mézenc beef) and a very modern repertoire of dishes (bluefin tuna, grilled watermelon and feta, sauce vierge and chorizo Bellota).27.8km
• La GabaleBib 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.33.1km
• Maison Vidal - Le Bistrot de JustinBib 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!37.5km
• Le Théophile - Château d’Orfeuillette The muted, romantic and aristocratic-like atmosphere of this restaurant combines the elegance of a historic edifice with a spectacular modern streak. The 19C chateau, set in wooded parkland and appointed in a glamorous baroque vein (chandeliers, silver wallpaper), invites you to stay over in one of the plush guestrooms in the main wing. Every evening the chef conjures up a surprise menu that draws on local seasonal produce, meticulously sourced from the region’s markets. Modern, fresh and savvily devised dishes that bear witness to the skill of an accomplished craftsman.31.9km
• Maison Vidal - La Table gastronomique In an elegant and modern setting, Aurélien Vidal delivers ambitious cuisine that showcases both the terroir and premium ingredients, eg langoustines from the Brittany coast, line-caught meagre, veal "des Monts du Velay". There is also a fine selection of local cheeses. Aurélie, who is also in charge of desserts, is a pleasant and attentive hostess.37.5km
• Ferme de la Besse The poultry, calves and ewes that are reared on the family farm are the starting point for this pleasant, hard-working young chef, who has energy to spare. Fresh and appetising dishes served in an informal and friendly ambience. Quite delightful!41.3km
