Riv'Hotel

Just 10min from the historic town centre, this restaurant is to be found where you would least expect it: on the first floor of an unremarkable building that, so we're told, was once a fire station. The contemporary setting is definitely appealing, as is the cuisine of the chef, who has an impressive track record (Alain Ducasse in Paris and Py-R in Toulouse). The three set menus, which echo today's culinary standards, certainly whet the appetite: roast onions and grilled mackerel; glazed pork belly, a meat jus, potatoes, leeks and peppers. Cordial service.
