  • 1. El Taller

    $$$$

    Run by four entrepreneurial friends just down the road from the famous Abbaye de St-Michel de Cuxa, this hip bistro serves fine locally sourced fare in large portions, like pork tenderloin in corriollette (fairy-ring mushroom) sauce. Like the food, the setting is stylish: its sleek glass-walled building and steel-framed terrace were constructed by the village specifically to house this Bistrot de Pays (a government-subsidized network of village restaurants promoting commerce in rural areas).

    Taurinya, Occitania, 6650, France

  • 2. Michel Sarran

    $$$$

    The post-nouvelle haven for what is arguably Toulouse's finest dining departs radically from the traditional stick-to-your-ribs cuisine of southwest France, instead favoring Mediterranean formulas suited to the rhythms and reasons of modern living. Delicacies like foie gras soup with Belon oysters or wild salmon in green curry sauce prove that chef Michel Sarran's two Michelin stars are well deserved. Don't count on a Saturday-night fête here; the restaurant is closed weekends—the obvious mark of a sought-after chef who is free to choose his own hours.

    21 bd. Armand Duportal, Toulouse, Occitania, 31000, France
    05–61–12–32–32

    Known For

    • The best fine dining in the city
    • Expert balance of sophistication and warmth
    • Highly flavorful but light food

  • 3. Bloc G

    $$

    Just outside the upper city walls, this all-white urbanesque restaurant and wine bar, run by three food-and-design-savvy sisters, offers a reality check after the touristic, turreted streets of La Cité. The blackboard menu highlights experimental touches to classic dishes (like sautéed foie gras in a Thai broth) and helps attract a sophisticated, well-traveled clientele. If returning to the crowds leaves you feeling claustrophobic, consider one of the five loft-style guest rooms in the upstairs inn. Also ask about sister Delphine's B&B not far away.

    112 rue Barbacane, Carcassonne, Occitania, 11000, France
    04–68–47–58–20

    Known For

  • 4. Cellier Morel

    $$$

    Dine under a medieval vaulted ceiling or in a shaded courtyard at Cellier Morel, arguably the finest restaurant in Montpellier's historic center. Regional specialties are served in haute-cuisine fashion starting with an amuse-bouche and ending with a house-made douceur (sweet).

    27 rue de l’Aiguillerie, Montpellier, Occitania, 34000, France
    04–67–66–46–36

    Known For

  • 5. Chistera

    $$$

    Expect to eat well at this pub-restaurant hidden on a backstreet near Place de la Comèdie. The restaurant side is a fashionable steak house á la francaise, where cuts of duck and beef are grilled over a wood fire and artfully served. It's owned by Montpellier rugby star François Trinh-Duc, and smartly dressed locals gather on the pub side to watch matches and socialize into the night.

    2 bis, rue d'Obilion, Montpellier, Occitania, 34000, France
    04–67–55–39–51

  • 6. Le Puits du Tresor

    $$$$

    At the foot of the famous Cathar castle of Lastors, this Michelin-starred treat comes as something of a surprise. Headed by the talented Jean-Marc Boyer, the restaurant serves inventive and artistic meals based on local ingredients.

    Rte. des Châteaux, Lastours, 11380, France
    04–68–77–50–24
