Apart from the hotel restaurants and the brasseries on the main street opposite the tourist office, there are several good and not too expensive places to eat . The best is the Tournayre , at 12 rue ChA?nebouterie (tel 04.71.09.58.94; closed Sun evening, Mon & Jan), specializing in the region's cuisine (menus from 115F/a?¬17.53). La ParenthA?se , at 8 av de la CathA©drale (closed Sat & Sun; from 80F/a?¬12.20), also does regional specialities and serves local wines. Two cheaper establishments, both in rue RaphaA«l, which begins at the bottom of rue des Tables, are the Nom de la Rose , at no. 48 (closed Tues & Nov-Feb), offering Mexican food, with menus from 69F/a?¬10.52, and La Felouque , at no. 49 (closed Tues & Nov-Feb; from 50F/a?¬7.62), which serves Middle Eastern dishes and excellent grilled salmon. At 29 rue Pannessac there's a vegetarian restaurant, La Farandole , serving mostly organic food and good fondues.

For a drink or light snack, the terrace of Le Petit Gourmande , at the bottom of rue des Tables, makes a pleasant stop in summer (closed Jan; galettes for 32F/a?¬4.88). A good place for an evening drink is Harry's Bar , on rue RaphaA«l, near the corner with rue des Tables.
