La Salamandre

At a slight remove from the town centre, this quiet little restaurant lays out its own fresh vision. Working with quality ingredients, the chef has a perfect command of cuissons and seasoning. The result is original, colourful fare that is as carefully prepared as it is tasty: black pudding, onion tarte tatin and mesclun salad; beef cheek confit in red wine and carrot fondant. Don't miss his signature dessert, the Paris-Brest.

This inviting country restaurant strikes a tasteful balance between authentic rural charm (terracotta tiles and beams) and pared-back modern comforts. Two sisters oversee the front-of-house operations, while their partners pour their culinary enthusiasm into this cheerful family venture. Crispy tomato, smoked trout, harissa mayonnaise and gelée; matured beef cooked two ways, dauphine potatoes and caponata of Swiss chard; sorrel, poached fruit, jam and meringues: polished, colourful dishes, in which freedom and tradition go hand in hand. The menu changes regularly.
