Terrible experience as I only wanted to have a drink. Service was poor and effortless , almost rude. Of three items I asked for, there was none available. Finally, I left without consuming.

When you can serve the daily menu, but you don’t want to offer the hospitality that should come with it, you generally end up giving the impression to customers, and especially not the regular ones, that the only thing that you care about is the money.
That’s exactly what happened here.
Way too many restaurants, including this one, that go for the money and run with it.
It’s a pity, because the « menu du jour » was quite good ne at a good price.

Had the bacon burger, fries and salad. Amazing! I’d come back for sure.

We stumbled upon this restaurant as we were perusing the downtown area of Valence and were very pleased. We don't speak much French so the chef was kind enough to translate the entire menu for us. After we ordered, we enjoyed the atmosphere and time together. Our food showed up soon which was good since our kids were hungry as we'd been on the road. The food was awesome and the Creme Bruleé was delicious. I'd recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great food and great service at great prices.

Flaveurs
A colourful decor with a carpeted floor and chestnut-wood tables provides the setting for this fine gourmet restaurant situated in the heart of Valence’s old town. It was perhaps his grandfather’s job as a caterer that influenced the career choice of young chef Baptiste Poinot, who studied at the hotel school in Vienne, and took lessons with Michel Chabran in Pont-de-l’Isère, as well as with Anne-Sophie Pic and Joël Robuchon. Much thought has clearly gone into each of the dishes created by this sensitive chef, who seeks above all to convey an emotion through his cuisine using top-quality ingredients and highly skilled technique. The resulting flavours – sensations produced both by the taste and aroma of his ingredients – are particularly enticing.

La Cachette
In the lower part of Valence, this hidden little gem is now even more tucked away since moving its premises into the cul-de-sac located behind the original restaurant. It is certainly still worth seeking out! You will get acquainted with a meticulous and inspired chef, Masashi Ijichi, who is originally from Japan. In this brand-new, modern setting, he delivers fine and delicate dishes that irresistibly combine flavours from the Drôme area with inspiration from Asia. Red mullet, courgettes, curry and white pepper; pigeon with black trumpet mushrooms; Japanese Wagyu beef, mustard and green beans. This excellent dining experience is made complete by the efficient service and outstanding wine list (superb selection of northern Côtes du Rhône wines).

Pic
The first thing to mention about Maison Pic (in the Drôme département of southeast France) is its special atmosphere. An artfully lit room designed to cast light on the dishes, floral creations, a thick carpet that muffles the steps of a front-of-house team dressed in classic attire. Here, they serve food the old-fashioned way, on a porcelain plate under a cloche. The lofty culinary obsessions of a chef who has been dubbed "the tightrope walker of flavours" – adulation of Japan, original presentations – make themselves felt in the dishes. Anne-Sophie Pic now serves a single set menu with ten "ports of call". A member of the highly exclusive club of female three-starred chefs, she is now director of the foundation "Donnons du goût à l'enfance". Beyond her boundless talent, she is an iconic figure.

André
This bistro replete with history celebrates the signature dishes of each generation of the Pic family. These include, most memorably: Jacques's mosaic of red mullet and foie gras, a surf and turf creation as audacious as it is aesthetically pleasing, to which his daughter Anne-Sophie added the bouillabaisse jelly, or the vol au vent filled with crayfish, calf sweetbreads and Nantua sauce.

Le Bac à Traille
Masashi Ljichi, Japanese-born star chef of La Cachette, has made his dream come true in this wholehearted, flavoursome bistro, whose name pays homage to a former shuttle (bac) that used to cross the Rhône by way of a cable (traille). In addition to a high-flying gastronomic score, the chef crafts bistronomic dishes rich in big-boned flavours that are bang on every time. The market-fresh cuisine is impeccably curated, always punchy and heroically tasty, illustrated by poultry terrine, veggie pickles and lentil salad or lacquered pork belly in Timut pepper with fluffy mashed potatoes. We recommend the coconut pineapple and rum soup with tapioca and a velvety pineapple sorbet to finish. Fine selection of regional vintages. Knockout value for money.
