Warmth that you can find in the small vaulted halls of the restaurant where one serves a local kitchen with a square of lamb and a reduction of sweet wine or a tasty kitchen on the market.

The dishes are renewed regularly, always according to the seasons: beef net, or cute fillets in autumn, and, finally, the imperative burnt cream "in all its states": To the citrus, to lavender, to the hazelnut… Under the vaults of the old house, we discover a shop that allows us to bring some memories of the believer, while the rooms, real jewels - remarkable furniture - comfortable, offer us a well deserved rest.

This hostel has changed its owners but, in the heart of the village, its natural environment is still outstanding.

We discover the different menus - and there is one that we are going to - but we also hear the beautiful litany of pots of pots - "an individual dish we love to share". We counted thirteen of them, a forest pot, another melting, another for hermits, one for herbalists and the last one that comes from us— and the fingers of ravioles— "an individual dish you love sharing." We counted fourteen for bergères or gourmets. A warm and friendly atmosphere, and to get warmer, you are immersed in the whirlpool or in the sauna steam. This beautiful hostel is a great stopover in south Vercors.

An excellent regional step in the heart of the village, nestled in a charming dauphinoise, tastefully decorated. The taste is what dominates this address, which invites us early in the winter to savour the first truffles in a breathtaking menu at only 68 euros. So, if you don't have to miss the beef piece from the tarbais truffles and fine beans, we're waiting with some impatience for the time of refined Brie that will keep all its promises. This is a kitchen that does not negate the land, quite the opposite, but has the good idea to put it on the day with a fried-fried bar bar and its hand-made ravioles, or this fermier pigeon pigeon with autumn scents and its sweet de, waiting for the still excellent homemade desserts. What else to say about this unavoidable address of the Collines of the Hills, otherwise it deserves to be known to all the gourmets who will find it more a charming welcome.

A place open only in the evening and which presents us with an amazing cuisine with son au, a delicious home-made Foie aux with exotic fruits and spice bread, without forgetting the famous duck magret of the foie gras fatty sauce that brings back fine mouths. A creative chef who honours a beautiful gastronomic French tradition, not forgetting the region's cheese specialities and a consistent wine list. Hotel and restaurant, two addresses not missing in Châtel.
