+390125366157

In season daily 9:00-23:00; days and hours can vary

FZRY - kort vir FitzRoy - is by Tschaval, waar die pad eindig aan die bopunt van die Gressoney-vallei en Monte Rosa die uitsig vul. 'n jong span bestuur die kroeg en restaurant, wat 'n kaggel en twee eetlokale het wat ou alpiene hout met 'n moderne voorkoms meng. Die kombuis herskep Aosta-vallei-klassieke met produkte van naby: fassone-beesfilet met lemmetjie en pienkpeper, beesvleis wat stadig gekook en met tuna-sous bedien word, vars tagliolini met artisjokke en guanciale, of wang wat in Torrette-rooiwyn gestoof en met polenta en geglaseerde sjalotte bedien word. Die spyskaart verander met die seisoene, en die kroeg skink cocktails en wyne uit baie streke. Tafels kan aanlyn, per telefoon of op WhatsApp bespreek word.

Località Bedemie 11, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366803

Winter season until April and from late June to September, daily 9:00-24:00

Morgenrot is a chalet restaurant in the meadows of Bedemie above Gressoney-La-Trinité, run by its owner, Giorgio. The kitchen keeps to the Aosta Valley: fondue chinoise, polenta concia rich with melted cheese, and zuppa alla valpellinentze, the local soup of bread, cabbage and fontina baked in the oven. The wine list stays close to home too, with labels from the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. In winter the chalet sits in deep snow and is reached on skis during the day. For dinner a snowcat picks guests up and brings them back down again, which turns an evening meal into a small expedition. In summer it is a walk across green pastures.

Località Bettaforca 6/A, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+393520972727

Open while the lifts run, in the winter and the summer season

Ristoro Colle Betta lê op 2,727 meter op die Bettaforca-pas, reg waar die Sant'Anna-Bettaforca-stoeltjislift aankom, in die middel van die Monterosa-skigebied tussen die Gressoney-vallei en die Val d'Ayas. In die winter stop skiërs op die sneeterras wat na die Monte Rosa-massief kyk; in die somer kom stappers via die roete vanaf Stafal op of ry hulle met die lifte via Sant'Anna. Die hut is groot en strek oor twee verdiepings. Die spyskaart meng Aosta-vallei- en Piëmonteense geregte met pizza, toebroodjies en toasties vir 'n vinnige stop tussen aflope, die kelder het 'n goeie verskeidenheid wyne, en die kroeg bedien bier, koffie en warm sjokolade. Dit is oop solank die lifte loop.

Località Sitten 16, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366300

Open in the ski and summer seasons; self-service at lunchtime, dinner by reservation

Ristoro Sitten is 'n bergskuiling op 2 300 meter bo Staffal, in die Monterosa Ski-gebied, met Monte Rosa wat die uitsig vanaf die terras vul. In die winter bereik mens dit op ski's of met die Sant'Anna-kabelkar vanaf Staffal; in die somer bring die kabelkar en 'n 4x4-pendeldiens stappers op, of dit is 'n staptog. Dit word deur die Comola-familie se maatskappy bestuur en werk as twee plekke in een. Tydens middagete is dit 'n selfdiens met vinnige geregte, warm toebroodjies en Aosta-vallei-geregte vir skiërs en stappers; in die aand word dit 'n restaurant met streekskos, en op Saterdae in die seisoen 'n ete op hoë hoogte met 'n sneeukat-rit op nadat die hysers gesluit het. Daar is 'n houtgestookte warmbad buite vir diegene wat oornag bly, en beddens vir enigiemand wat eerste op die hellings wil wees.

Piazza Tache, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366809

Daily from 8:00 until late

Castore & Polluce staan op Piazza Tache, die plein in die hart van Gressoney-La-Trinité, en is oop van agt in die oggend tot laat in die nag. Die dag begin met espresso en tuisgemaakte koeke; later bedien die kombuis moderne geregte gemaak van plaaslike produkte, met vegetariese, veganistiese en glutenvrye keuses. Daar is drie plekke om te sit: die terras op die plein, die Castore-kamer - 'n alpiene sitkamer rondom die kroeg - en die rustiger Polluce-kamer, waar die wyn gehou word. 'n AIS-gesertifiseerde sommelier sorg vir ongeveer 250 etikette en lei wynproeë, en in die ski-seisoen eindig die dag met na-ski-sessies deur 'n DJ.

Località Fridau 1, 11025 Gressoney-Saint-Jean

+393339528419

12:00-15:00 and 19:00-22:00; open June to October and December to April; closed on Wednesdays in the low season

Ristorante Mont Néry is the restaurant of the Villa Fridau residence in Gressoney-Saint-Jean. Its name goes back to the Locanda Mont Néry, which the family's great-uncles Erwin and Pina Monterin ran in the village in the 1950s. Today Marysa looks after the dining room and chef Boris Melon runs the kitchen. The cooking is Aosta Valley and Piedmontese, built on produce from close by: the valley's cured meats and cheeses, fresh pasta made in the house with a choice of sauces, and game served with polenta. The ice cream is homemade, in flavors that follow the season, and Boris and Marysa are glad to suggest a bottle from the wine list.

Gloria Osteria is 'n Italiaanse restaurant in Via Tivoli, in die Brera-distrik van Milaan. Dit behoort aan die Big Mamma Group, wat ook restaurante in Parys, Barcelona, Dublin en Dubai bedryf, en die huis in Milaan is die groep se Italiaanse een — dit kook die land waar dit vandaan kom eerder as om dit uit te voer. Die ruimte is die argument. Sewehonderd-en-veertig vierkante meter onder agt hoë vensters, so dit is vol daglig op 'n manier wat min Milanese restaurante regkry, ingerig met gekleurde fluweel-leunstoels en gebou rondom 'n toonbank van Giallo Siena-marmer. Die huis beskryf die voorkoms as 1960's-glamour, en dit is 'n redelike opsomming: dit is doelbewus teatraal, en dit lyk op foto's soos dit bedoel is. Die kombuis word bestuur deur sjef Manuel en sy brigade, en werk deur die Italiaanse streke eerder as net een daarvan, aangebied as óf 'n proemenu óf à la carte. Cocktails en 'n geselekteerde Italiaanse wynlys word by die marmer-toonbank bedien. Die groep is 'n gesertifiseerde B Corporation. Diens loop elke dag in twee sittings, middag tot half drie en half sewe tot kwart oor tien. Dit is raadsaam om te bespreek — dit is een van die restaurante in die stad met die meeste resensies, met byna twaalfduisend graderings. Brera is die ou kunstenaarsbuurt, stapafstand van die Duomo en bedien deur die Lanza- en Moscova-metrostasies. Jy sal Gloria Osteria vind by Via Tivoli 3, 20121 Milano.

Maccheroni is geleë in Via San Carpoforo in Brera en noem homself La Carbonara N°1 di Milano — die nommer een carbonara in Milaan. Dit is 'n bewering eerder as 'n titel, en die restaurant is reguit daaroor dat hy dit opeis, wat 'n redelike ding is om te weet voordat jy instap: carbonara is die gereg waaroor hy beoordeel wil word. Die groter idee is huiskos wat ernstig opgeneem word. Die huis beskryf dit as die geure van die huis, soos dit vroeër was — maar beter: die geregte wat 'n ma en 'n ouma sou gekook het, herbou met die tegniek van 'n professionele kombuis. In die praktyk beteken dit 'n kort spyskaart van Italiaanse klassieke eerder as 'n oorsig van die streke, en dit is die verskil tussen 'n trattoria en 'n restaurant wat trattoria-kos doen. Dit is elke dag oop van half een tot half elf in die aand, regdeur sonder 'n middagpouse. Tafels kan bespreek word deur die restaurant se eie webwerf, per telefoon of per e-pos. Via San Carpoforo is 'n stil straat in die middel van Brera, die ou kunstenaarsbuurt, 'n paar minute se stap van die Pinacoteca di Brera en van die Lanza-metrostasie af. Dit is 'n deel van die stad waar die strate smal genoeg is dat 'n restaurant gevind word eerder as verbygegaan word, wat by hierdie een pas. Jy sal Maccheroni vind by Via San Carpoforo 7, 20121 Milano.

Piz is a pizzeria on Via Torino in central Milan, and by review count it is the most talked-about place to eat in the city — more than sixteen thousand people have rated it, far ahead of any restaurant in Milan. It has been open for over ten years, which in a city where fashions and venues turn over quickly is the point the house makes about itself. The format is deliberately narrow: Neapolitan-style pizza, a short menu, a low price band. There is seating outdoors and pizza can be collected to take away. What the numbers describe is a room that is busy from midday onwards, and the queue outside is part of the experience rather than a sign that something went wrong — going early or late is the practical advice. It is open every day. Monday and Tuesday it runs in two sittings, midday to three and seven to eleven; from Wednesday to Sunday it stays open straight through from midday to eleven at night. Via Torino leads southwest out of Piazza del Duomo towards the Carrobbio, so this is a five-minute walk from the cathedral and inside the ring most visitors never leave. If you are staying anywhere central you can walk here, and the street itself is one of Milan's busiest shopping runs. You will find Piz at Via Torino 34, 20123 Milano.

Princi is a Milanese bakery, and the shop on Via Speronari is a few steps from the Duomo. The house has been baking since 1986 under the name L'Artigiano del Pane — the craftsman of bread — and it is one of the small number of Milanese food names that became international without leaving: there are Princi bakeries in the United States, Japan, China and Kuwait, all of them selling what the company calls the spirit of Milan. What is sold is bread, pizza, focaccia and pastries, baked through the day rather than in one morning batch, which is why the counter looks different at nine in the morning and at five in the afternoon. Focaccia and pizza al taglio are sold by weight and eaten standing or taken away, and that is how most of the queue uses the place: this is a bakery, not a restaurant, and there is no table service. It opens every day from half past seven in the morning until half past seven in the evening — long hours by Milanese standards, and unusual in covering Sunday. Via Speronari is a short pedestrian street running off Via Torino, inside the block between the Duomo and Piazza Missori. If you are staying in the centre this is the practical answer to breakfast, and a better one than the hotel buffet. You will find Princi at Via Speronari 6, 20123 Milan.

Ristorante Galleria sits inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the glass-roofed arcade that runs between the Duomo and La Scala. That address is the whole of its character: you eat under the iron and glass of the 1870s, in what is arguably the most photographed interior space in Milan, with the mosaic floor and the passing crowd as the setting. One practical point matters more than anything else here, and the restaurant states it plainly on its own site: the only way to reach them is by e-mail, to info@ristorantegalleria.it, and a booking counts only once they have confirmed it by e-mail in return. They do not use WhatsApp or any messaging service. Anyone booking through a third party claiming otherwise is not booking this restaurant. The kitchen is open long hours — from ten in the morning until midnight, every day of the week — so it covers a mid-morning coffee, lunch, an afternoon in the arcade and a late dinner after the opera. Tables stand out in the Galleria itself. The location makes it one of the easiest addresses in Milan to find and one of the hardest to get a table at on short notice: the Duomo metro stop empties directly into the arcade. If you are staying in the centre, you will pass the door whether you plan to or not. You will find Ristorante Galleria at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II 75, 20121 Milano.

Via Pasteria on Corso Italia does one thing: pasta. The house motto is "for the love of pasta", and the menu is built around it rather than treating it as the first of several courses — which is a departure from the usual Italian structure and the reason the place works for a quick lunch as readily as for dinner. The list changes with the season, and there is a dish of the month alongside it. Recent examples give the flavour of the kitchen: linguine with organic Parmesan, Sicilian lemon, chives and sturgeon caviar; cold conchigliette with cave-aged pecorino, confit tomatoes, Cerignola olives, Sicilian lemon and crusco pepper; paccheri alla Norma with marinated purple aubergine, twenty-four-month Parmigiano Reggiano from Vacche Rosse cattle and salted ricotta; linguine with clams and bottarga. The ingredients are named down to the breed of cow, which tells you where the attention goes. It is open every day, straight through from midday to half past ten at night, with no afternoon closure — genuinely useful in a city where most kitchens shut between three and seven and a late lunch becomes impossible. Corso Italia runs south from the Duomo towards Porta Ludovica, a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and from the Missori metro stop, so this is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in the historic centre. You will find Via Pasteria at Corso Italia 16, 20122 Milano.

Antica trattoria Del Tempio is geleë in Via Creta in Vicobarone, 'n gehuggie van Ziano Piacentino in die Val Tidone. Die naam is die eienaars s'n en sê watter soort huis dit is: 'n trattoria, en 'n ou een — die alledaagse restaurant van 'n Italiaanse dorp eerder as 'n bestemming wat vir besoekers gebou is. Die openingstye beskryf hoe dit gebruik word. Middagete word elke dag behalwe Woensdag bedien, van middag tot half drie. Aandete is net op Vrydag en Saterdag, van agt tot tien. 'n Kombuis wat so ingerig is, kook vir mense wat hul hoofmaaltyd in die middel van die dag eet, wat in hierdie deel van Emilia steeds die meeste van hulle is, en dit beteken dat 'n besoeker wat 'n aand hier op 'n Dinsdag beplan, dit gesluit sal vind. Vicobarone lê in die Colli Piacentini, die wynheuwels tussen die Po-vlakte en die Apennynse rant. Die provinsie is bekend vir drie soorte gesoute vleis met beskermde status — coppa, pancetta en salame piacentino — en vir Gutturnio, die rooi wat op hierdie hellings verbou word. Ziano Piacentino is een van die sentrums van daardie produksie, en Vicobarone is een van sy gehuggies. Ons het geen webwerf vir hierdie trattoria nie, so niks word hier oor sy kookkuns beskryf nie. Die telefoon is die manier om te vra, en om te bespreek. Jy sal dit vind by Via Creta 6, 29010 Vicobarone, Ziano Piacentino.

Wednesday to Saturday 12:00-14:00 and 19:30-21:00; Sunday 12:00-14:00; closed Monday and Tuesday

Casa Galli is a farmhouse restaurant on the hillside at Albareto above Ziano, in the Val Tidone, where the family has cooked for guests since 1997 and the view from the terrace is vineyards down to the valley. The dining room is old stone with a fireplace and candles; in summer the tables move out under the porticoes, and there is a play area for children, which makes it an easy Sunday lunch for families. The food is Piacenza cooking without shortcuts: house cured meats, gnocco fritto, tortelli and pisarei made in the kitchen, roasts, and the Gutturnio of the hills to drink. It opens Wednesday to Sunday, lunch and dinner except Sunday evening; there are rooms and apartments for anyone who wants to stay after the wine.

La Colombaia is an agriturismo above Ziano Piacentino, in the westernmost of the Piacenza valleys. The land was in the family for years before Guido turned it into an agriturismo, and the kitchen is described by the house as cucina piacentina doc — the cooking of this province and no other. The estate is arranged for eating outdoors without depending on the weather: three dining rooms stand in the open but under cover, all of them looking out over the valley, with a bar area for drinks and two further rooms inside. That combination is worth knowing in a region where a summer evening can turn without warning. It sits among the hills and is used as a starting point for the country around it — mountain biking, riding and walking all begin at the door, and the valley is crossed by roads that lead through the historical, scenic and gastronomic parts of the province. The Colli Piacentini are wine country: Gutturnio, Ortrugo and Malvasia are grown on these slopes, and Ziano Piacentino is one of the centres of that. Opening is limited and worth planning around. Friday evening only from eight to ten; Saturday lunch from half past twelve and dinner from eight; Sunday the same with lunch running until half past three. Monday to Thursday it is closed. You will find La Colombaia at Località Arcello 1, 29010 Ziano Piacentino.

Locanda San Lupo stands among the hills and vineyards above Ziano Piacentino, and its own line for itself is where taste meets the sunset. That is a fair description of what it sells: the terrace looks out over the vines, and the house treats the evening light as part of the meal rather than as scenery that happens to be there. It is more than a dining room, in its own account — a refuge in the quiet of the hills, where the point is that time slows down. In practice that means it works for two quite different occasions: a family Sunday lunch, and a dinner for two once the lights come on. There is a wine list, which matters here — these slopes are the Colli Piacentini, and Gutturnio, Ortrugo and Malvasia are grown in the fields the terrace looks at. The hours are unusual and worth reading twice: this is an evening restaurant. It serves dinner from eight to eleven every day except Wednesday, when it is closed, and it does not open for lunch at all. Anyone arriving at midday will find the door shut. Ziano Piacentino lies in the Val Tidone, about forty minutes south-west of Piacenza and well inside an hour of Milan, which makes this a plausible evening out from the city as well as a local one. You will find Locanda San Lupo at Strada Comunale Lupo 101, 29010 Ziano Piacentino.

Le Proposte is a family restaurant in the hamlet of Corano, in Borgonovo Val Tidone, in the hills of the province of Piacenza. Its beginning is unusual and the family tells it plainly: twenty-five years ago Danila and Luigi, with their daughter Manuela, bought a farmhouse in a panoramic position meaning it to be a second home. Cooking took over. In the year 2000 the house opened as a restaurant, and it has been run by the family ever since. The kitchen is traditional and the work is done on the premises: cured meats are aged in the restaurant's own cellars, the pasta is made in the house, and the ingredients are handled daily rather than bought prepared. In this part of Emilia that is not a marketing line — salumi and hand-made pasta are what the province is known for, and doing both in-house is the difference between a country restaurant and a country restaurant worth driving to. The dining room seats about forty. In summer lunch and dinner are served on the panoramic terrace, which is the reason the farmhouse was bought in the first place. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. From Wednesday to Saturday it serves lunch from half past twelve to two and dinner from eight to eleven; on Sunday the evening ends an hour earlier. Booking is sensible in a room of forty seats. You will find Le Proposte at Frazione Corano 35, 29011 Borgonovo Val Tidone, Piacenza.

La Palta is geleë in Bilegno, 'n gehuggie so klein dat die restaurant homself beskryf as 'n verborge juweel agter ongelyke mure — geleë tussen sagte heuwels, kombuistuine en ou huise in die provinsie Piacenza. Die gebou verklap niks vanaf die pad nie, wat deel is van hoe die plek homself aanbied. Die kookkuns is ambisieus eerder as rustiek, en die huis sê dit in sy eie woorde: die oë kom voor die neus en die verhemelte. Onverwagte kombinasies is die metode. Twee geregte verteenwoordig die reeks — tortelli con la coda, die stertvormige pakkies wat die kenmerkende pasta van Piacenza is en hier op die tradisionele manier gevou word, en swart ravioli wat in 'n eksotiese bouillon bedien word wat aan geen plaaslike tradisie behoort nie. Die kombuis word deur 'n vroulike sjef bestuur, en die huis beskryf die eetervaring hier as 'n reis tussen die reuke van die huis en inspirasies van ver af. Geskenkbewyse vir 'n middagete of aandete word deur die restaurant se eie webwerf verkoop. Diens is beskikbaar dinsdag tot saterdag, middagete van half een tot half drie en aandete van agt tot tien. Op sondag is daar net middagete, en maandag is dit gesluit. Bespreking is raadsaam: die vertrek is klein en die restaurant lok mense van ver buite die provinsie. Jy sal La Palta vind by Frazione Bilegno 67, 29011 Bilegno, Piacenza.

L'Ami Louis is 'n vis- en seekosrestaurant op die kaai by Centre-Port in Cap d'Agde, by Quai Di Dominico, 11 Rue de la Gabelle. Die naam dateer terug na 1931, toe Louis, oupagrootjie van die huidige geslag, 'n bar-brasserie naby Parys geopen het. Sy dogter Janine en haar man Joseph Abadie het in 1960 oorgeneem; Joseph het van Portiragnes naby Béziers gekom, en toe Cap d'Agde in die 1970's as 'n vakansieoord gebou is, het die familie suid getrek en weer op die Port Brescou-kaaie geopen. Seuns Jean-Louis en Jérôme het in 1990 beheer oorgeneem, en Vincent Abadie, Joseph se oudste kleinseun, het in 2003 aangesluit: vier geslagte. Die eetkamer is kontemporêr, in pasteltinte, met 'n uitsig oor die marina. Vis en skulpvis kom eerste: Thau-lagune-oesters, rotsvissoep met rouille, seebaars in 'n soutkors wat per gewig verkoop word, sole belle meunière, monnikvis bourride, en kreef of langoustines wat in seisoen per gewig verkoop word. Vleisetende gaste kry 'n vier uur lank gestoofde lamsbeen, eend-confit of beesfilet; die wyne is Minervois, La Clape, Faugères. Daar is 'n tweegang-spoedformule tydens weeksdae se middagete, drie vaste spyskaarte van toenemende lengte, die volledige kaart, en 'n kinderspyskaart tot agt jaar oud. Middagete word van 12:00 tot 13:45 bedien, aandete van 19:00 tot 21:45. Behalwe in Julie en Augustus is die restaurant gesluit op Woensdag, Donderdag en Dinsdagaand; in die hoogseisoen bedien dit elke aand, met 'n vroeg-aandete-aanbod tussen 19:00 en 19:30. Bespreek per telefoon by +33 4 67 26 25 48 of deur die vorm op die webwerf, nie per e-pos nie. Honde is welkom as dit by bespreking genoem word; daar is min kinderstoele, so vra. Vanaf 'n huurverblyf in die marina is dit 'n kort stap; vanaf Agde se ou dorp is dit 'n kwartier per motor.

+33467263262

Mon–Sun 11:00–22:00

Passion Glacée is 'n roomyswinkel by 11 Allée de la Flânerie, die voetgangerstraat in die hart van Centre-Port in Cap d'Agde, 'n paar tree van die marina af. Dit is 'n vervaardiger, nie net 'n winkel nie: die roomys word op die perseel in die Italiaanse styl van rou bestanddele gemaak, eerder as uit poeiers of mengsels, en selfs die horinkies word op die perseel gebak, insluitend 'n weergawe wat in sjokolade gedoop is. Saam met die geskepte geure is daar sorbets, sagte roomys, granitas, melkskommels en smoothies, en vir die kinders crêpes, borrelwafels en churros, ook op die perseel gemaak. Vir die 2025-openingsnaweek was die spesiale aanbod 'n Ferrero Rocher-roomys wat op die perseel gekarring is. Die winkel werk op 'n somerritme: dit open vir die Paasnaweek en bedien regdeur die seisoen, met die langste toue op Julie- en Augustus-aande wanneer die promenade ná ete vol word. Daar is sitplek, so dit is 'n plek waar jy kan sit en eet, eerder as net 'n wegneemvenster, en die ingang is traploos. Kaarte en kontaklose betaling word aanvaar, Pluxee-maaltydkaarte ook, en daar is Wi-Fi. Die telefoonnommer is +33 4 67 26 32 62; geure en oop dae word op die winkel se Facebook- en Instagram-rekeninge geplaas, die vinnigste manier om 'n tussenseisoendag na te gaan. Vir 'n gesin in 'n huurplek by Cap d'Agde is die ligging die punt: die winkel lê tussen die marina en die vakansieoord se strande, so dit pas in by 'n aandstappie ná die strand of 'n draai om die hawe. Vanaf Agde se ou dorp is dit 'n kwartier per motor; die Allée self is gesluit vir motors, so parkeer in een van die parkeerterreine rondom Centre-Port en stap die laaste ent.

26 Avenue Général de Gaulle, 34300 Agde

+33467267608

Mo-Su 06:00-20:00

Le Fournil d'Agde is an artisan bakery at 26 Avenue Général de Gaulle, a few minutes on foot from the old town and the river. Simon Queneau has run it with his team since 2018. The bread is made the slow way: flours from a local miller, older grain varieties among them, a natural sourdough starter, hand kneading. The range covers a crisp baguette de tradition, cereal, rye, corn and whole-wheat loaves, and a soft pain de mie for sandwiches. The pastry counter changes with the seasons and mixes classics (éclairs, millefeuilles, lemon and fruit tarts, chocolate desserts) with the bakery's own creations. Number cakes for birthdays, wedding cakes and petits fours for christenings are made to order; everything, the house states, is made on the premises. For a vacation rental this is above all a supply stop. The shop opens every day, Sunday included, from 6 am to 8 pm, so bread and croissants can be fetched before an early start to the beach, and a picnic put together from the savory counter: bakery pizzas, quiches, sandwiches with crudités, paninis and seasonal salads, plus a dish of the day at lunchtime. There is seating inside and a few tables on the square in front, where a breakfast formula with coffee is served. The bakery also caters private and business events, from starter to dessert, quoted on request. Orders for cakes and catering go through the form on the website or by email to lefournildagde@gmail.com; the phone is +33 4 67 26 76 08, and the day's offer is posted on the bakery's Facebook page. Cap d'Agde and Le Grau-d'Agde are each ten to fifteen minutes away by car, so the bakery suits a rental in Agde itself or a stop on the way out.

47 Rue Brescou, 34300 Agde

+33467623069

Tu-Sa 12:00-14:00, 19:30-22:00

Le Bistro d'Hervé is a small restaurant at 47 Rue Brescou, in the center of Agde's old town a few streets from the Hérault quays. Hervé Dos Santos cooks and Sabine Dos Santos runs the room. The kitchen calls its style creative and refined, built on seasonal produce with the flavors of the South, and is equally fond of "plats canailles", hearty bistro dishes done with care. Recent cards have carried a red tuna tataki with ratatouille, scallops on a Jerusalem artichoke velouté and meagre from the plancha with saffron risotto, next to standards such as eggs en meurette, beef tartare and rum baba. The wines stay in the Languedoc. The house holds the Maître Restaurateur title, which certifies cooking from raw ingredients on the premises, and is listed in the Michelin and Gault&Millau guides. The room is contemporary and air-conditioned, with a small terrace under shade sails and a covered one for hot July evenings. Service runs Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 2 pm and 7:30 to 10 pm; Sunday and Monday are closed, and the restaurant works year-round apart from a break around Christmas and New Year. Tables go quickly in summer, so call +33 4 67 62 30 69 or write to bistroherve@gmail.com a day or two ahead. Groups of up to 40 can be seated with notice. For a family in a vacation rental nearby: there is a children's menu, dogs are accepted, and the premises carry the Tourisme & Handicap label, with step-free tables and adapted restrooms. A public parking lot lies about 100 meters away by the cinema; the train station is a 13-minute walk. From Cap d'Agde or Le Grau-d'Agde count a quarter of an hour by car for an evening away from the beachfront grills.

19 Quai du Commandant Méric, 34300 Le Grau-d'Agde

+33627200903

Mon–Sun 11:00–22:00

Le Ponton is geleë by 19 Quai du Commandant Méric op die linkeroewer van die Hérault by Le Grau-d'Agde, waar die rivier in die Middellandse See uitloop. Daar is drie plekke om te sit: 'n eetkamer wat na die kaai oop is, 'n skaduryke terras, en die houtponton wat die plek sy naam gee, uitgebou oor die rivier sodat jy eet met die water onder jou voete en die bote wat verbyvaar op pad see toe. Die strand en die steiger is 'n paar minute se stap af langs die kaai. Die kookkuns is tradisioneel en Mediterreens, en die huis maak sy eie foie gras, 'n mi-cuit gemarineer in Muscat en in 'n bain-marie gekook, bedien as 'n pot vir twee. Die spyskaart neig na die see: inkvis en koningsgarnale op die plancha in Provençaalse botter, gemarineerde tuna wat rare gekook word, seebrasem- en seebaarsfilette, moules-frites, 'n gemengde visbraai op die plancha, Bouzigues-oesters en 'n gebraaide joël, die klein plaaslike vissie, met huisgemaakte aioli. Vir vleis is daar geroosterde eendebors en 'n Black Angus-ribeye. Die Salade du Ponton stapel foie gras-toast, gepekelde ham, gerookte salm en blinis op een bord. 'n Vaste driegangspyskaart word elke dag bedien tydens middagete en aandete, met bestellings tot 1:30 nm en 9:30 nm, en 'n kinderspyskaart dek kinders tot die ouderdom van tien. Tot die einde van Junie is die restaurant gesluit op Dinsdae en Sondagaande; in Julie en Augustus maak dit elke dag oop. Besprekings gaan deur die selfoonnommer +33 6 27 20 09 03. Toegang is sonder trappe, restaurantbewyse en Franse vakansietjeks word aanvaar, en groepe van tot 150 kan op versoek sitplek kry. Vanaf Agde se ou dorp is dit vier kilometer stroomaf, tien minute per motor.

Bitburger Straße 1, 54673 Krautscheid

+49 6554 431

Gasthaus Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri from 15:00, Sat-Sun from 11:30; kitchen Mon, Tue, Thu, Fri 18:00-21:00, Sat-Sun 11:30-13:30 and 17:30-20:00; Wed closed

The Islekhöhe stands on the high ground at Krautscheid, on the Bitburg road south of Arzfeld, in the stretch of the Eifel called the Islek where Germany, Luxembourg and Belgium run together. The family that runs it says it has been welcoming guests from near and far for two hundred years, and the house is still a family-run Pension with a regional restaurant attached rather than a hotel with a dining room. The kitchen's promise is put simply on the site: good home cooking, fresh Eifel products and generous portions, with a menu of local specialities and a sample card to download. Meals are served in a modern, comfortable dining room or, in fine weather, on the sunny terrace; in the evening there is a separate Bierstube with Bitburger Pils on tap, the sort of room where a walk is talked over rather than a wine list studied. The house has built its offer around active guests. Motorcyclists have three lockable garages with space for twenty to twenty-five machines and a bikers' weekend package; there is a tennis hall with a tennis weekend, hiking-and-bowling arrangements, and a newly installed charging point for electric vehicles. Guest rooms are kept simple and comfortable, with the clean Eifel air as the main amenity. For someone staying in a holiday home nearby it works as a proper dinner stop on weekday evenings and as a lunch place at the weekend, with the tri-border landscape starting right outside the door.

Hauptstraße 41, 54649 Lambertsberg

+49 6554 366

Gasthaus open daily; kitchen Mon-Sat 17:30-20:00, Sun 12:00-14:00 and 17:30-20:00; Thu closed (except public holidays and for hotel guests)

The Fünfmädelhaus in Lambertsberg has been in the same family for more than 150 years and is now run by the fifth generation, a Gasthaus with a Pension attached, standing high above the Prüm valley with forests and meadows all around. It is a big house for a village: 24 guest rooms with 52 beds, a restaurant with its own bar, a summer beer garden, two bowling lanes and a function hall that can seat up to about 140 people, which is why weddings, birthdays, family reunions, Christmas parties and club outings end up here. Motorcyclists get free covered parking and pets are welcome by arrangement, and the house lists walkers and cyclists exploring the Südeifel among its regular guests, with plenty for children in the area. The kitchen describes its line as regional classics and seasonal dishes prepared with care, and the menu shows what that means in practice: a cream of sweetcorn soup with black tiger prawns, smoked salmon tartare with avocado and burrata foam, a well-hung Angus rump steak with Café de Paris butter, and the 'Original Eifler Strohschwein', straw-reared pork from the region served Wiener Art or as Cordon Bleu with peas and carrots and potato gratin. There is homemade tagliatelle with burratine and tomato sauce for vegetarians, guinea fowl breast with truffled mushroom pasta, and sea bass in a spiced Asian broth. Desserts change daily, and the ice creams include homemade sorbets. Four-course festive menus and buffets are arranged for parties on request.

Hauptstraße 10, 54649 Waxweiler

+49 6554 9003994

Wed-Sat 17:30-22:00; Sun 11:00-14:30, 17:15-21:00; Mon-Tue closed

La Corona is the Italian restaurant on the main street of Waxweiler, the small town in the Prüm valley a few minutes' drive east of Arzfeld. It opened on 15 November 2013 and has since marked its tenth anniversary, which the house mentions with some pride. The dining room is done in a modern style and the owners describe the place as family-friendly, with comfort and a warm welcome as the point rather than any show. The kitchen works with fresh, high-quality ingredients. A meal can start with an aperitif or a cocktail, Martini, gin and tonic or a Negroni, and the wine list is Italian, drawn from several regions. There are homemade soups and fresh salads, pizza bread straight from the oven, and pizzas with a crisp base and generous toppings. Pasta comes with sauces made in-house, and for those who want meat there are schnitzel and Cordon Bleu. Tables can be reserved through the website, which is worth doing for a group on a weekend evening. Music evenings are held from time to time. Beyond the restaurant the family runs a pizza food truck that brings the same oven-baked pizza to private parties and events in the region, with quotes on request. For a holiday-home guest it is the straightforward option for an evening out that does not involve a long drive: Italian food in the middle of the town, with a Sunday lunch service as well as evenings later in the week.

Bahnhofstraße 8, 54649 Waxweiler

+49 6554 389

Restaurant Mon-Sun and public holidays 12:00-14:00 and from 17:30; bar from 11:00; Thursday closed

The Hotel am Schwimmbad is a traditional guesthouse with a restaurant, a Pilsstube and a sun terrace, on the road that drops from the centre of Waxweiler down to the outdoor pool by the river Prüm. Run by Jeroen van der Zalm, it is open all year and takes its role as the village inn seriously: the restaurant serves Eifel regional specialities in a plain, welcoming setting and is set up for family celebrations, while the beer lounge opens late in the morning. The terrace is the reason to come on a fine day, with a wide view across the Prüm valley and down onto the swimming pool. Upstairs are seven guest rooms with television, shower and toilet, enough for a group of up to eighteen, and the rooms face the valley rather than the street. The list of guests the house names says a lot about who feels at home here: families, motorcyclists, who get a covered shelter for their bikes, walkers and cyclists on the Prümtal cycle path, who can lock their bicycles away, pilgrims on the Way of St James, who can have their pilgrim passport stamped, anglers, who can buy a permit for the Prüm, technicians and business travellers, and winter sports visitors. Dogs are accepted by request. There is generous parking, including space for large vehicles. The setting is the Deutsch-Luxemburgischer Naturpark, close to the point where Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg meet, and the pool next door makes it an easy afternoon for families with children before an early dinner.

Im Pfenn 3, 54689 Irrhausen

+49 6550 1408

Tue-Wed 11:00-14:00 and 17:00-22:00 (kitchen 12:00-13:30 and 17:30-20:00); Fri 16:00-24:00 (kitchen 17:30-20:30); Sat 11:00-24:00 (kitchen 12:00-13:30 and 17:30-20:30); Sun 11:00-22:00 (kitchen 12:00-14:00 and 17:30-20:00); Mon and Thu closed; Jan-Mar closed Tue and Wed evenings

Im Pfenn takes its name from the old local word for the boggy, moorish ground the house stands on, a quiet spot outside Irrhausen in the German-Luxembourg nature park, a short way north of Arzfeld. Christine and Michel Munkler built the house with its barn and stable in 1938; the stable became a tavern in 1961, the barn a guest house, and in 1966 the 'Gasthaus Munkler' opened to the public. The second generation added the large dining room in 1978, and since 2001 Christiane and Oswald Urfels have run it, with son Markus Gutweiler as co-manager since 2021, which makes it a family business in its fourth generation with around forty staff. The main restaurant seats up to 80, a room under the roof takes 25, and a large sun terrace with about 40 seats looks out over the countryside. The kitchen's own phrase is Eifel tradition meeting modern regional cooking, built on fresh products from nearby. Two things are named as specialities: the filled cream puffs served in the afternoon, and from November onwards game dishes from the family's own hunting, which they process themselves. Weekday lunch is deliberately kept small. Birthdays, weddings, closed parties and company events are catered with menus, buffets or themed evenings. Outside there is a play and sports field for children, and the paths into the surrounding forests, meadows and streams start at the door, which is why the house welcomes families, groups, hikers, cyclists and motorcyclists alike and carries the 'Wanderbares Deutschland' hiking certificate.

Heilhauser Mühle 1, 54649 Manderscheid

+49 6554 900842

Thu-Sat 17:00-20:30; Sun and public holidays 11:30-20:30 (kitchen open throughout); Mon-Wed closed; winter break until late March; groups outside these hours by arrangement

The Heilhauser Mühle is a converted historic mill on the L12 between Lünebach and Waxweiler, down in the Prüm valley where the road runs between trees and water. The family has run it as a Landgasthof for more than thirty years and is now in its third generation; a small campground sits on the same grounds. Inside there are several distinct rooms: the snug Mühlenstube, a sunny winter garden, a fireplace room and a rustic barn whose glass floor looks straight down onto the old, illuminated mill wheel. Outside, a beer garden and a terrace face the mill pond, and the house recommends them as the stop after a walk. The cooking is regional country fare, running from schnitzel to rump steak, with game specialities, fish, vegetarian options and children's dishes, plus seasonal recommendations that change with what is available. Examples the house names are the 'Eifelliebe' salad with curry dressing, chicken and fresh fruit, the 'Mühlenknacker', a stuffed pancake filled with minced meat and cheese, and at weekends fresh salmon in wine sauce with rice and salad from the buffet. The mill lies directly on the Prümtal hiking trail, the Prümtal cycle path and the Panoramaweg 100, so hikers and cyclists arrive on foot or by bike and families come for a long Sunday lunch. Family celebrations, walking groups and company outings can book a set menu or a rustic buffet, and groups can be received outside the regular hours by arrangement. The house closes for a winter break each year and reopens in spring.
