Selected entries from the current guide for Valence.
Valence, France
Anne-Sophie Pic's three-Michelin-starred temple in Valence showcases four generations of culinary mastery through her revolutionary "aromatic architecture" approach. France's only female chef to hold three stars crafts ten-course sensory journeys featuring signature Berlingots and innovative French haute cuisine within the elegant Maison Pic estate.
Valence, France
In the heart of historic Valence, Épithèque marks a considered evolution from its previous incarnation as Flaveurs, with chef Baptiste Poinot, trained under Michel Chabran, Anne-Sophie Pic, and Joël Robuchon, offering cuisine d'auteur in a dining room defined by carpeted warmth and chestnut wood tables. Rated Notable, it operates on a tight weekly schedule across just two services per day, Tuesday through Friday.
Valence, France
A Michelin-starred address in lower Valence where Japanese precision meets the produce of the Drôme. Chef Masashi Ijichi's creative menu draws on Rhône Valley ingredients and Asian technique, backed by a northern Côtes du Rhône wine list that punches well above the price point.

A back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand holder (2024 and 2025), Le Bac à Traille sits in Valence's mid-market dining tier and delivers modern French cooking at a price point that undercuts the city's gastronomic flagships by a considerable margin. At 16 Rue des Cévennes, it draws a neighbourhood-local crowd alongside visitors who have done their homework on the city's broader restaurant scene.
Valence, France
Almacita brings Latin American cooking to the heart of Valence, holding a Michelin Plate for two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) at a mid-range price point that sits well below the city's starred French tables. At 51 Grande Rue, it occupies an unusual position in a dining scene defined by Drôme terroir and classical technique, a counterpoint worth understanding before you dismiss it as an anomaly.
Valence, France
A market-driven épicerie on Place Saint-Jean, L'épicerie sits at the informal end of Valence's dining spectrum, a city where serious cooking runs from neighbourhood bistros up to three-Michelin-star territory. The focus here is sourced produce and direct flavours, positioned as a daytime and casual counterpart to the gastronomic rooms that have made this stretch of the Rhône corridor one of France's most closely watched dining corridors.
Valence, France
On Avenue Victor Hugo in Valence, Maison Grizlaw occupies a city where serious French gastronomy has deep roots, from three-Michelin-star Pic to a growing tier of creative independents.

Valence, France
Maison Nicolas Perrin places Valence inside the Rhône conversation through a northern-appellation lens rather than a château-visitor spectacle. The house is tied to Nicolas Jaboulet and the Perrin family, works with Syrah and Viognier, and is framed around small-production Rhône wines with an appointment-only format.
