• RacinetteBib She is Canadian and he’s Belgian and they have set up shop in Lectoure in a steep street near the cathedral. Half-café, half-bar, it is busy all day long for a drink, a snack or a meal. The concise menu is a savvy mix of tradition and contemporary notes: medium rare slice of roast veal with girolles and confit potatoes, fried aubergines with a Japanese twist and a creamy cheese, or figs in red wine delicately laid on a hazelnut cake and mascarpone mousse. Pastel tones and stone set the scene in the large dining room, the mezzanine area is eminently friendly and the terrace invariably bathed in31.8km
• Le Florida While regional delicacies remain firm fixtures on the menu of this welcoming traditional establishment (in business since the 1930s), a few discreet nods to the Mexican roots of the new owner have found their way into the culinary score. Examples include crispy crackling chicharron appetisers or a smoked, spicy tomato sauce that adds a kick to a starter of thinly sliced carpaccio of stuffed duck neck, apples and mayonnaise made from Gascony mustard. Healthful, fresh, throbbing with flavour and top-drawer quality. On sunny days, the shaded alfresco patio is blissful.11.1km
• Auberge Le Prieuré★ Michelin On the road between Bordeaux and Toulouse, in the heart of a tiny picturesque village near Agen, this country inn occupies a centuries-old stone house, whose terrace, shaded by ancient plane trees, faces a Clunisian priory founded in the 11C. A former consort of Michel Trama of Puymirol, chef Benjamin Toursel has forged his own distinctive modern style, scattered with bold, creative notes that frequently surprise the diner: mouth-wateringly juicy red tuna with a wasabi made out of roses, rhubarb and rose geranium; rack of veal, raw and cooked carrots and nasturtium-flavoured béarnaise.

• La Grande Salle Revamped from top to toe, this city-centre institution is still going strong under the aegis of a family team, namely three brothers – one in the dining room (an MOF), one in the kitchen and one is a pastry chef! The culinary lineup aims to highlight the gastronomic heritage of the Gers region: raw and cooked scallops; Bigorre black pork and leeks; duck and foie gras pie, sliced at the table; baked Alaska, flambéed in front of you! Foodies with an appetite will be delighted to learn that the sauce boats are left on the table – irresistible with the house made bread! Simpler fare at Le 9ème bra25.4km

• Mr Guss Augustin Guibert, a.k.a. Guss, a chef with an impeccable track record, has gone solo in this contemporary eatery on the ground-floor of a handsome 19C stone building. This inventive cook impresses with his manifest technical skill, which allows him to play with flavours and textures, as is the case with a crunchy tartlet of velvety onions, carrots confit in their jus, calamansi gel, pesto ice cream and a cromesquis of feta and honey. Hats off to the loving care and attention lavished on the splendid local produce, particularly veggies. We warrant that each colourful dish will bring a smile to 41.8km
• Les Allées Antoine and Coralie met at Jean Coussau's Relais de la Poste in Magescq, after stints in prestigious restaurants in France and Spain. This former café-restaurant has been given a facelift that subtly blends vintage and modern features (waxed concrete floors paired with exposed beams). As for the food, this pair of pros focuses on flavour, giving traditional recipes a creative spin – think whole-roast pigeon, sweet potato cream, fresh spinach mousse and Granny Smith pickles; apple prepared tarte Tatin-style, walnut sablé, hay ice cream, buckwheat cream and cider caramel sauce.
