The partner's word
Épithèque is the Michelin-starred restaurant of chef Baptiste Poinot in the heart of Valence, born from the transformation of his former project Flaveurs into a renewed gastronomic venture. A native of the Drôme, Poinot builds a cuisine rooted in childhood memories and close relationships with local producers, celebrating the seasonal bounty of the Drôme and Ardèche. The house offers two complementary concepts — a brighter Little Gastronomic Salon at noon and an intimate Gastronomic Table in the evening — presenting constantly evolving carte blanche tasting menus, and the team emphasises a living, sincere and respectful approach to fine dining. The restaurant holds one Michelin star and is also presented with a Gault & Millau distinction on the site.
Épithèque occupies small, intimate spaces in Valence’s city centre; the Little Gastronomic Salon delivers a brighter, market-side atmosphere while the Gastronomic Table provides an intimate evening dining room near the corner of Grande Rue and Rue Pelleterie, with a presentation that favours fine dining without formality.
The kitchen serves modern, seasonally driven gastronomic cuisine with carte blanche tasting menus that adapt daily to what producers supply, offering structured 5- and 7-course formats and optional natural-wine pairings. The operation is explicitly eco-responsible and sources from producers 100% in the Drôme and Ardèche; since 2019 it favours river and lake fish from the region over conventional seafood.
