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).

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).

The postnouvelle 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.

When a young Catalan native returned home from the pull of the Paris restaurant scene and partnered with a friend to open Percherons, Picasso's Céret finally got a restaurant worthy of a detour beyond art history. The prix-fixe dégustation menu (with two appetizers, two mains, a cheese course, and dessert) calls on Catalan basics like suckling pig from Spanish Catalonia's Empordá, Vallespir tomatoes from the French side, and aged goat cheese from the frontier-forming Alberes mountains.

Don't let the dismal backstreet exterior put you off: Bistrot de l'Étoile is a delightfully retro 1960s pub that promises fast service and a great choice of dishes on the blackboard menu. The homemade desserts are great, too, like the panna cotta with your choice of sauce, including a red-fruit coulis.

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.

Overlooking the Pont Neuf, this elegant brasserie is idyllic at sunset, as artists Ingres and Matisse—who were regulars—knew all too well. Watch the colors change over the Garonne from a sidewalk table while enjoying seafood sauerkraut with Champagne or wild sea bass with salmon tartare.

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).

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.

Walk past the pubs and bars on this narrow alley for the best crêperie in Perpignan. Owned by a young couple from Brittany, it prepares authentic buckwheat crêpes with a modern twist. Top picks include a galette stuffed with endive, smoked duck, pine nuts, cheese, and a honey-cream sauce, which can be gobbled down in the colorful, casual dining room.

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 and Gasscon 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.

On one of Collioure's quieter cobblestoned streets you'll find Le 5eme Péché, where the clean-lined decor seems in synch with Japanese owner-chef Iijima Masashi's simple yet innovative dishes like tempura shrimp with chestnut cream and apple crisps. With only 18 seats and an open kitchen plan, you'll feel like you know him personally by the time your meal is done.

This bustling bistro has been serving locally sourced regional dishes for over 30 years—way before farm-to-table was a thing. The house specialties include dishes like roasted Pyrenees trout with shallot confit and the founder's own pain perdu, with vanilla ice cream. If you forgot to book, ask if you can wait for a table with a drink at the bistro's hip salon next door.

This eatery is a popular choice, especially when sunny weather encourages taking a seat on the terrace, overlooking the square below. The cuisine varies with the seasons, the markets, and the humor of the chef, but everything is homemade and reasonably priced.

Occupying a 15th-century former stock market with exposed beams and arcades, this café-restaurant in the center of Perpignan is a perfect place to enjoy an easy meal under the umbrellas as you watch the world go by. Options include scallop salad, foie gras with green beans and raisins, and grilled duck breast with apples.

A good-value menu and superb fish dishes are the reasons for this restaurant's excellent reputation. Chef-owner Georges Bermond's house specialties—which change seasonally—include pot-au-feu of the sea. Although the traditional setting could use some spark, the warm service and correcte (fair) bill make up for any old-fashioned ambience.
