Unless you want to push the boat out and go to Auberge de l’Eclade in Menesplet (under new ownership and with some dodgy recent reviews), the best local restaurant is L’un des Sens (formerly Hotel de Commerce) in nearby Villefranche de Lonchat.

Here is my translation of their current menu dégustation which looks very appetising!
