Les meilleurs restaurants du Sud-Ouest Midi-Pyrénées

The restaurant Les Marronniers takes its name from the century-old chestnut trees in the village square. Here, Claudine and Jean-Luc Viala have been working for nearly thirty years in accordance with French gastronomic traditions and above all with the products of their region. Jean-Luc, in the kitchen, regularly changes his menu according to the seasons. Among other things, he offers you a hot foie gras with spicy wine and you can tell us about it! And this is only the beginning, because it is followed by a delicious old-fashioned duck confit, lamb sweetbreads with morels, veal kidneys in old wine, to finish with a generous frozen truffle in a nougatine basket and orange juice. Everything is of course cooked with the greatest care! This is normal, since Jean-Luc Viala is part of the Cuisineries Gourmandes. The carte blanche to the chef is accompanied by a different glass of wine depending on the dishes. The products are purchased at local markets. The interior room has been completely renovated, in chocolate, modern colours, decorated with original paintings and frescoes by local artists, and the terrace under the chestnut trees is still very pleasant. Very good rating for the welcome and service.

In the kitchens, Jerome Munoz, a young chef with an exuberant imagination prepares tasty and delicious dishes. Giving pride of place to fish, fresh products and refinement, the hotel can boast of an excellent carte worthy of great restaurants. The dishes speak for themselves and are charming: samosas in wood mushrooms, prawns blazed with Ballantine or salmon terrine with vegetables, basil chlorophyll, lettuce and sesame honey biscuit! There is nothing to add, the dishes of this young chef will charm you. Fans of seafood will be satisfied by a composed menu. It is an asset for a region that is far from the seaside! Finally, throughout the year, the hotel organizes free dinner-concerts.

Visitors and locals are not mistaken; this atypical and friendly restaurant is always crowded! It must be said that the th century building is in itself superb, especially with its stones found in the walls but also in the incredible old fireplace that is in the heart of the room… and where the inspiration of the chef only demands a up! As you will have understood, the specialty of this hostel is grilled in the chimney and we are getting tough. Secrecy: simplicity and quality, which allows everyone to be happy at a reasonable price… but also selection of rigorous meat! Beef, lamb, duck or even fish are delicious and their accompaniment depends on seasonal vegetables. The decoration is also particularly original and meticulous with numerous works by local artists in exhibition. The most curious ones will enjoy the garden, which is worthy of a museum!
