Rodez to lose a Michelin star

Colourful dish from Gouts et Couleurs
There is only one restaurant in Rodez with a Michelin star - the Gouts et Couleurs, in the city centre. Opened in 1989 by Jean-Luc Fau and his wife Emmanuelle they received the accolade in 2002. But now they have decided to sell up and concentrate on other interests. M Fau says he has not lost the taste for cooking, but running a high class restaurant, especially with a Michelin star, involves him in so much administration that he only spends 20% of his working time in the kitchen. A buyer has been found and will take over in early 2018.
After Sebastien Bras voluntarily gave up his three stars is Aveyron losing its gastronomic excellence?
Of course Bras is still open in Aubrac and Fagegaltier at Belcastel, but those of you who like to "tick off" Michelin stars in your red guide may have to look further afield. We at Taglines had a perfectly agreeable lunch yesterday in La Seye et Vous, Verfeil sur Seye, for just 13.50 euros.
