Gourmet restaurant in Rodez
The world of a creative chef
To step through the doors of this inviting restaurant, in the heart of the historic centre of Rodez, is to enter the world of a chef who has a passion for nature that is reflected through his meticulous and original work with wild flowers and plants. His cooking techniques and combinations of flavours and textures are inspired by the herbs he picks in the surrounding fields and forests. Trained by ethnobotanist François Couplan, this self-taught chef surprises with his dishes, daring to stray off the beaten track to bring out the very best in local produce with the wild flowers and shoots of the terroir.
An intimate and friendly place

To ensure that every guest enjoys the experience to the full, the seating layout has been designed in such a way that each table has the privacy it needs. With its fabrics in delicate tones of brown, sumptuous sofas and dining chairs, wood panelling and open fireplace - everything combines to create a cosy environment in which calm, comfort and serenity reign supreme, making it the perfect setting for entering the unique world of creative chef Hervé Busset.
A wild, free and instinctive cuisine brimming over with emotion
Let Hervé Busset take you on a unique culinary adventure. Here, in his gourmet restaurant in Rodez, the chef conjures up a cuisine founded on instinct and guided by memories and emotions to better convey his feelings. Nature is the muse to his creativity. He is inspired by the wild herbs he gathers; the fruit and vegetables on the local market stalls; the fish from the nearby rivers and the high-quality meat reared in the Aveyron region...
And the dishes vary according to the inspirations of the moment. He composes them around a score of two flavours - produce and plant - and a variation of textures and cooking methods. Chef Busset's is a wild and untamed cuisine, full of surprises, and inspired by plants and local produce. It is the work of a chef who carries within him the soul of an artist.
