Le Moulin de l'Abbaye

The terrace sits right on the River Dronne, looking across to a 16th-century arched bridge, with a cliff face rising behind you and the old Benedictine abbey at your back. It's a fine dining restaurant in one of the abbey's outbuildings, and the setting does a lot of the work before the food even arrives. The chef holds a Michelin star, and the cooking is precise and ingredient-led, with the kind of meticulous plating that suits the room.
