Remarkable Restaurant

Honored by Gault&Millau last spring during the Gault&Millau Tour Occitanie, Hervé Busset remains a chef of integrity—as discreet as he is talented—yet open-minded and attuned to modern trends. Thirty years ago, with Michel Bras nearby, he believed in natural ingredients, plants, herbs, and local flavors—without closing himself off to ideas from elsewhere. He hasn’t wavered one iota, and he has even managed to inspire a new generation of young chefs who draw on his convictions. This chef-forager—who, naturally, holds the Ecotable certification—shares his latest discoveries with diners through hidden menus such as the six-course “Botanical Journey” for €125, or the five-course “Vegetable Imprint” for €95. His restaurant on Rodez’s central square is, naturally, a beacon of the Aveyron region and a source of legitimate pride for the people of Rodez. The wine cellar is well-stocked, with many options at affordable prices.
