"Our third lunch in 3 years at Le Belvedere. As usual, absolutely brilliant. Superb attention to detail, great food, wonderful flavours, impeccable presentation, consistently first class and not expensive by the standards of the great restaurants in France, of which this a worthy member."

We discovered Le Belvedere in Bozouls by chance, as a result of wondering what the Trou de Bozouls might be. This in itself is well worth a considerable detour, one of the natural wonders of the world. Anyway, the food ambience and welcome of the restaurant knocked our socks off. Since then, we have been back pretty much every year and have never been disappointed. The cooking is extremely accurate and extraordinarily well-judged, and of its type I would say among the best I have tasted anywhere in the world. We go for lunch, where there is a simple menu with no choice, but many courses - and even with wine, aperitifs and coffee cost less than 50 euros per person. Don't go if you want to choose. Don't expect hearty portions of peasant food. On our last visit, the meat was mainly fish - pollock and cod - and was delicious. Lots of very lightly but perfectly cooked vegetables, with occasional flashes of herby flavours.The welcome is flawless, and service extremely pleasant and efficient. The dining room has a lovely feeling of space and light. Large parties need advance booking so that the tables can be properly arranged; this is not a sardiney place. (Though we have had delicious sardines here as part of amuse-bouches).Altogether, in my opinion, one of the great restaurants of the world, and fortunately for us, little known!
We booked lunch at Le Belvedere without any expectations, as we were simply looking for a location approx. half-way between Laguiole and Rodez to break our car journey. What a treat it was to discover the wonderful food of Guillaume Viala. We both chose the EUR52 Menu of six small courses, which included fresh local vegetables, tiny fillets of trout, escargot, Aubrac beef, a selection of cheeses and finally, desserts. Each course was beautifully presented and contained the most perfect flavour combinations, an outcome we rarely experience in restaurants charging much higher prices. In addition, there were small, delicious offerings of amuse bouches and a grand finale of memorable, tiny sweets with our coffee. The calibre of Guillaume's food is exceeded only by the absolute charm of his lovely wife, Christine, who took the time to explain the menu to us in English and made sure were looked after by the wait-staff, all of whom were excellent. We will certainly return on our next visit to Aveyron.
Our experience at La Belvedere was a major highlight of our trip. We too the Nature menu for lunch at EUR59pp with 5 courses +amuse bouch and petit four. The food was of an extremely high standard...highlights being the crispy escargots, beautifully cooked pigeon and the dessert......well the dessert was probably best I have ever had. A muscavado sugar cylinder packed with fruit, mousse and an amazing tangy sorbet on the side. It's really hard to fault this meal but had the trout had a crispy skin it would have been nice and discs of 'cake' in the dessert were probably a bit flavourless and unnecessary - the fact that I mention that still shouldn't detract from how good that dessert was! The service was unbelievably good, the location is spectacular. I cannot wait to come back.
My husband and I have been lucky to have eaten at this excellent restaurant over the past few years. The food is always beautiful, delicate flavours using seasonal produce of the region. The staff are friendly and very professional. The wine list is extensive and the staff are helpful in selecting suitable wine to compliment the menu. The venue is located at one of the most memorable geological formations in France. This is a must visit restaurant.
