Michelin Restaurants in Perpignan
Manat
In this old building with thick stone walls just a stone's throw from Cathédrale Saint-Jean-Baptiste, this restaurant has a refined interior decor with an open kitchen, a large corner counter, pale wood tables and a dining room that is packed to the rafters (be sure to book). There's a good reason it is so popular: at the helm are French-Japanese couple Yuka and Marc Meya, a highly inventive pair whose seasonal cuisine designed for sharing brings together Catalan and Japanese ingredients and draws on the culinary techniques of both countries. Mainstays on the menu include the iconic Kara Age, a boneless chicken leg fried in Shio Koji, served with fresh shiso leaves and spring onions; or the tasty tataki of locally fished bonito, leeks and wild garlic. Every day, there are 10 or so generous sharing plates to choose from (three for a meal for one, fix or six for two).

Le Divil
Between Le Castillet and the prefecture, a specialist of fine matured meats: customers choose their piece (rib steak, entrecote, sirloin), which is then weighed, grilled and accompanied by tasty home - made fries. There are 300 types of wine to wash it down.

Le Garriane
"Garriane" is the contraction of Garry and Ariane, and originality is the name of the game here! In the kitchens, Garry, an Australian, concocts seasonal, ingredient-focused cuisine that taps into influences from around the world. The restaurant is now open for lunch, with a menu of vegetarian and vegan options, and operates as a café in the mornings and afternoons (closed evenings and weekends).

La Passerelle
The chef now at the helm of this maritime-inspired restaurant, where she once trained with her father, is giving us her own modern take on family tradition. She likes to add good concentrated jus to her dishes (octopus with pork jus) as well as sweet-and-sour flavours (langoustine, turnip, almonds). She is also a sommelier, and puts her heart and soul into coming up with optimal food and wine pairings.

La Galinette
Christophe Comes is a chef who is passionate about plants! He is genuinely committed to his vegetable gardens and collections of citrus and olive trees. Plant-based notes permeate his cuisine from starter to dessert. The bitterness of the romaine lettuce is given a twist with a dash of slightly peppery nasturtium oil and accompanied by trout from Irouléguy; the John Dory, with its reduced bouillabaisse, fennel confit and rouille, is another dish with a strong vegetable flavour, which serves to enhance the top-quality fish. Last but not least, the dessert is fresh and light, made with the chef's own citrus fruit (yuzu, orange and kumquat). A real success.
