The story
Just off the A75 at the Issoire Sud exit, Agastache brings a refined yet unpretentious style of Modern Cuisine to the Auvergne. The restaurant earned a Michelin recommendation for its commitment to quality ingredients and clean execution — a recognition that feels earned, not forced.
The team works with a quiet, family-like rhythm. In the open kitchen, Chef Jérémy Floret handles each product with the same care, aiming for plates that are both precise and generous. Pastry chef Lou adds her own seasonal creativity to the dessert menu, drawing from French classics and her daily inspiration. Up front, Marion and Lucie greet guests with a blend of warmth and professionalism that sets the tone from the first step inside.
The dining room leans Scandinavian: natural materials, understated chic, a calm that lets the food speak. A background soundtrack keeps the mood light without intruding. It works equally well for a weekday business lunch or an evening with friends.
Agastache describes its cooking as “juste et savoureuse” — fair and flavourful. That means produce-driven Modern Cuisine where freshness is non-negotiable. The menu changes with the seasons, and the kitchen’s strength lies in letting ingredients lead rather than overcomplicating them.
The restaurant can also be privatised for events up to 50 seated guests — a practical option for family celebrations or professional gatherings in Issoire. Outdoor seating is available when the weather cooperates, and the space is wheelchair accessible.
With a Michelin recommendation already in place and a team that clearly cares about the details, Agastache is a solid stop for anyone seeking straightforward, well-made Modern Cuisine in the region.
