Description

Summary: A secluded culinary retreat with nature's bounty.

Bras, nestled in the Midi-Pyrénées, is a family-run haven of haute cuisine. Sébastien Bras, along with his wife Véronique, now steers this secluded restaurant and hotel, Le Suquet, into the future. The venue, resembling a modern glasshouse, is so intimately woven into the landscape that it commands an overnight stay. Its menu, deeply rooted in the region's diverse flora, features the legendary gargouillou, an intricate vegetable, herb, and flower composition. The dining experience transcends the mere act of eating, as guests are enveloped by the raw beauty of nature while indulging in dishes like Mediterranean monkfish with saffron and the iconic Aubrac beef. The service is impeccably gracious, the wine list extensive, and the desserts, especially the fig-version of the famed molten chocolate pudding, are sublime. For those wishing to prolong the enchantment, Le Suquet offers charming guestrooms with panoramic views of Aveyron's countryside.
