The Café Bras, established in the heart of the Soulages Museum, pays tribute to Averyron produce. Two possibilities: order a snack or picnic basket from the counter or take a seat in the restaurant… The kitchen team crafts crisp, aromatic, light dishes, rich in generosity, colour and scents, like a tartare of tuna marinated in calamansi and Greek-style cucurbits or breast of roast duckling, acidic jus, new potatoes, cone cabbage and tiger courgettes with a sauce vierge.

After stints in three-star restaurants in Italy and with the Bras family, at the Musée Soulages and at their flagship establishment in Laguiole, Italian chef Vasco Baldisserotto has gone solo in this smart restaurant outside the town centre.

In an outbuilding of the château, this restaurant boasts a baroque style, with waxed concrete floors, vintage chairs and a chandelier. But what really catches the attention is the chef's indulgent contemporary cuisine. High-quality ingredients make for clear, distinctive flavours, a case in point being the lovely roasted carrot starter with its crispy Vieux Rodez cheese tuile. The presentation of the poultry on a compote of tart cherry tomatoes is impeccable. They also have a number of guestrooms and a spa for those looking to prolong the experience.
