Whilst it may look humble from the outside, Au Jeu De Paume is set in a beautifully restored old building with an open fire, beamed ceilings and a lovely terraced courtyard. You can enjoy all the local specialities here and watch the larger meat cuts being cooked on an open grill. It’s thoroughly atmospheric and their two or three course ‘formule’ start at just €12-15.
Finally, if you fancy getting away from the hustle and bustle of Millau, then why not take a 7 km detour to the beautiful village of Peyre. The only restaurant in the village, it sits above the river with great views across the countryside and you can see the Millau viaduct in the distance too. It’s reasonably basic fodder but good quality, good value for money and with a welcoming feel.
