Restaurant Hervé Busset

Modern Cuisine · ★ Michelin

€€€

From Conques to Rodez, where he relocated when he took over Émilie and Thomas Roussey's restaurant, chef Hervé Busset continues to present himself as a cook and harvester. The produce he gathers from the surrounding fields and forests is supplemented by purchases from the market opposite his new premises. Hervé's creative cuisine is dictated by nature: comfrey, marigold, hedge nettle, meadowsweet and nasturtium flowers grace the plates with harmony and finesse throughout the surprise set menu. Completely refurbished, the chic, inviting setting ensures privacy for guests. The sommelier has exce

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. He signs a pedigree Gallic score, albeit tinged with Italian influences, particularly from his native Venetian region. Accustomed to top-drawer produce, he painstakingly sources and selects only the best local ingredients. The menus celebrate the seasons and his suppliers, on whom he frequently shines the spotlight. Examples include braised Aveyron beef sh

Le Clos - Château de Labro

Modern Cuisine

€€

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.

Café Bras

Modern Cuisine

€€

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. The attention lavished on flavour is second to none, as are the welcome and interior décor. Fully worthy of its ongoing succe

Nestling in a leafy green site and dominated by its castle, the quaint village of Belcastel rises up on the right bank of the Aveyron River. Work up an appetite by strolling along its cobbled streets and up and down its steep paths! Quietly feeding hungry travellers is something of a tradition in this family-owned business opened by the grandparents of sisters Nicole and Michèle Fagegaltier, now at the helm. The enticing menu naturally highlights local delicacies such as lamb and veal from Aveyron and Ségala, Aubrac beef and Bigorre black pork, without forgetting fish and farmhouse cheese. Sto

What a pretty village clinging to a cliff and famous for its cooling waterfall! What a pleasant, convivial place, with its warm, colourful bistro decor, lovely old wooden floorboards, counter and arty posters on the walls (and let's not forget the terrace overlooking the courtyard in front of the town hall). In the kitchen, chef Marine Guichou cooks up a feast, using carefully selected local produce, which she skilfully prepares in a fresh, authentic bistro style. And with her almond pannacotta and chocolate mousse on a cocoa crumble, she has created the quintessential dessert for anyone with

Auprès d'Angèle

This lovely old house built of local stone is now a chic bistro complete with six cosy guestrooms – a delightful new venture launched by Michel Bras and run by his niece, Audrey. Partners Guillem and Zoé, previously at La Halle aux Grains in Paris, work in tandem in the kitchen. The menu is a homage to Audrey's grandmother and Michel's mother: chicken supreme, roasted sunflower seeds, market-fresh aubergine and a deliciously old-fashioned gratin de coquillettes (a cheesy pasta dish). The sophisticated decor features blown-glass lights reminiscent of the grapes of Marcillac, the rapidly expandi

Le Belvédère

This chic, rustic inn commands a breathtaking view of the famous Bozouls Canyon, a natural cirque hewn out of the limestone plateau. The chef has a contagious enthusiasm for traditional farming methods and wines from small-scale producers, as shown by a dish such as house-smoked bacon, green beans, potatoes and herbs, Causses yoghurt.
