Maison Vidal in Saint-Julien-Chapteuil
With its contemporary cuisine steeped in the local terroir, Maison Vidal draws its inspiration from the unspoilt and rolling countryside that stretches as far as the eye can see. The restaurant is located in the heart of the Haute-Loire, in the village of Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, dominated by the region's distinctive mountain peaks. These volcanic crests have shaped the landscape to give it its unique contours and abundant nature that is as bountiful as it is inspiring.
Discover the fine dining restaurant and Le Bistrot de Justin
Maison Vidal welcomes you on the Place du Marché, right in the centre of the village of Saint-Julien-Chapteuil, near Le Puy-en-Velay.
This family-run business brings together two addresses under the same roof: a fine-dining restaurant that skilfully explores the French culinary repertoire, and Le Bistrot de Justin, a convivial and mouthwatering dining experience. Two complementary establishments that have been handed down through the generations since 1954.
A culinary experience in partnership
Today, Aurélien Vidal is the chef of his own kitchen, drawing on an expertise acquired both in France and abroad, while working in top Michelin-starred establishments alongside renowned culinary mentors. In partnership with his wife and maître de maison, Aurélie Vidal, the chef welcomes families, groups of friends, epicureans and those simply passing through to either his fine dining or bistronomic table, depending on how the mood takes them. He invites his guests to explore a world of culinary delights, as locally sourced as possible, punctuated by unexpected notes, all wonderfully in tune with the passing seasons.
