Restaurant Art-Koze

Why the Auvergne is Your Next Culinary Destination

"Dining outside in Montpeyroux’s tiny square at L’Art-Koze felt delightfully local—most of the diners were people from town—and while the plating sometimes felt dated (tweezered microgreen garnishes), beneath that presentation were delicious, proper French sauces and genuinely satisfying cooking. The setting in the restored hilltop town made the meal part of the medieval-evening charm." - Christine Muhlke Christine Muhlke Christine Muhlke is a former editor at both The New York Times and Bon Appétit.
