Gourmet Restaurant

Located near the train station, the restaurant offers a bistronomic lunch menu and gourmet surprises in the evening. The restaurant’s director has outlined the concept together with chef Alexis Busso: simple ingredients prepared with finesse, subtle spices, and beautifully presented, colorful dishes. For lunch, for example, you might choose the tataki-style beef served with a strawberry sauce vierge, though in the evening, the chef makes the decisions and diners are free to follow along—or not. The menu features seasonal dishes made with high-quality local ingredients, such as asparagus from the Drôme region, creatively paired with a wild asparagus salad. Antésite adds a zesty kick to the mushroom duxelles and sautéed spinach. The wine list isn’t very extensive, but it’s complemented by well-chosen by-the-glass options. The service is attentive.
