Gault&Millau's review 2026

14/20
Chef's Restaurant
This family-run business is the pride of the locals, and rightly so: a village bistro that has become a gourmet restaurant, drawing crowds from across the department and beyond—that’s not something you see every day. At Vidal’s, authenticity and generosity reign supreme. Today, Aurélie and Aurélien Vidal keep the restaurant thriving, with the chef bringing a modern touch and creative ideas while deeply respecting the local terroir and the history of the place: foie gras pâté en croûte with veal sweetbreads, figs, and walnuts; mushroom tartlet, confit veal chuck with sweet potato textures, chestnut, vanilla, and grapefruit, or the now-famous “tarte carrément chocolat,” all featured on the delightful “Menu des sucs” for €63 or €74 depending on the number of courses. An extensive wine cellar featuring wines from Auvergne, the Rhône, and elsewhere.
