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, France04–68–05–63–35Known For
- Reliably great meals
- Location in a picturesque village at the base of Mont Canigou
- Convenient stop after visiting the Abbaye de St-Michel de Cuxa

2. Garriane
$$$$ | |Foodies appreciate Garriane's direct approach to eating and drinking well. Here a plain-Jane decor and a dim neighborhood spectacularly contrast with immaculate plates presented by the Aussie-bred chef (who incidentally shook up Perpignan's sleepy food scene with a strictly seasonal menu emphasizing local produce boldly prepared for an exotic outcome). Wine is the only choice you'll need make; after that the nine-course degustation begins, with dishes like citrusy wild partridge and butternut squash mousse promptly appearing one after the other, ending with three separate desserts (picture chocolate gazpacho garnished with ultrafresh, peppery olive oil).
18 carrer Frédéric Valette, Perpignan, Occitania, 66000, France04–68–67–07–44Known For
- Nine-course degustation menu that's the best meal in Perpignan
- Affordable lunch menu
- Booking ahead a must

3. 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.

5. Jardins de l'Opéra
$$$$ | |Stéphane Tournié's elegant restaurant next to the Grand Hôtel de l'Opéra is a perennial favorite. Inspired by the seasons, the food is gastronomical local fare with added nouvelle touches. Intimate rooms and a covered terrace around a little pond give it an undeniable allure, though some may find the grand flourishes—glass ceilings and mammoth chandeliers—a little too, well, operatic. If you're looking for something a little lower-key, consider Tournié's bistro, La Cantine de l'Opera on Allée Jean Jauré.
1 pl. du Capitole, Toulouse, Occitania, 31000, France05–61–23–07–76Known For

7. Les Loges du Jardin d'Aymeric
$$$$ | |In a quiet mountain village just outside Prades, chef Gilles Bascou's semisecret gourmand restaurant serves classic five-course meals that locals swear by. The ambience is refined yet relaxed, and the market-inspired menu changes seasonally.

$$$$ | |Chef Pierre Lambinon won a Michelin star at age of 30 (he now has two) for his fantastic restaurant (pronounced "Pierre") in this former 16th-century fish market. The €158 eight-course tasting menu is a must.
