Restaurant
Le Vivarais
MOF-run Place Gailleton bouchon founded by a Vivarais mère
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Founded in 1907 by a mère from the Vivarais and now run by Meilleur Ouvrier de France Williams Jacquier with his daughter Audrey, this Place Gailleton room is a more polished bouchon than most. The cooking stays rooted in tradition, generous and precise, while the dining room edges toward the refined. A long-standing institution that locals trust.
Editor's Tip
Smarter than a communal-table bouchon, MOF kitchen. Closed Sunday-Monday; reserve for dinner.
