Robert Rodriguez is an artisan (and character) who works with high-quality, exclusively organic and locally sourced materials. In his atelier du goût (taste workshop) with a charmingly old-fashioned decor, he concocts superb traditional Languedoc dishes with a creative twist. His cassoulet (rich bean, pork and duck stew) is expensive (€36) but absolutely divine. An original spot. Bookings are essential.
