Had lunch here with a group of six people and we were not let down at all. We had four Menu Lo Roc and two ordered from the regular menu, all of the dishes served were exquisite and delicious. The service was fast and very professional, even accommodating for our nut and peanut allergies. The view from the outdoor seating area is absolutely breathtaking and if you can get a table near the view I would recommend taking it. The prices aren’t exactly cheap but quality of the food and beautiful scenery and views makes it worth it. If you are in Minerve and looking for a delicious meal and great view, Aux 2 Rivières is your best option.

We were planning our visit and inquired as to vegetarian options for a friend. They were very quick to respond in the positive so we made a reservation. We arrived just as they opened and were seated on the terrace with a wonderful view. The food was perfect and the accompanying wines were very good. We will not hesitate to recommend this restaurant and plan to return, with a reservation, when we are showing off this region to our visitors.

Our first time here and a place we always wanted to go .. fortunately the day offered beautiful sunshine for lunch on the terrace and the meal didn’t disappoint. Options of a set menu or a la cart made it easy for our small group .. service and food were excellent with a great selection of local and regional wine to chose from .. definitely worth a visit and also experience the magnificent view from the terrace

Last visited 2 years ago an, if anything, it has improved further. This is an exceptional location with wonderful food, lovely service and an experience to remember. On a dry day, a meal on the terrace is an event to enjoy and make a detour for. Both the quality of food and presentation are exemplary. The hosts are very tolerant and helpful to English speakers who are not confident with the French language. I will visit every time i return to this part of France.

We had the most wonderful lunch today at the restaurant Aux 2 Rivières, located in the stunning village of Minerve. The restaurant is perched at the tip of a rocky spur, offering a breathtaking view overlooking the confluence of the Cesse and Brian rivers and the Malvoisine. • It was the perfect Easter lunch. We sat on the most beautiful patio, soaking in the incredible scenery while enjoying the most colorful, delicious dishes. • One of the standout moments of the meal was an appetizer that completely took us by surprise. A roulé of carrots, deglazed with Grand Marnier, served with a silky cashew cream and a drizzle of pomegranate molasses, accompanied by fresh cheese from Vieulac flavored with ginger, lemon, and thyme. Who knew that something as humble as a carrot could be elevated to such elegance and depth of flavor? It was vibrant, aromatic, and beautifully balanced. Each bite was like a little revelation. • We fully embraced the slow, joyful pace of southern French living with a leisurely three-hour meal marked by fresh, vibrant cuisine, unexpected yet delightful flavor combinations, and warm, attentive service. • Glasses of wine came and went, conversation flowed, and we ended the meal with a digestif in true local fashion. It was one of those rare experiences that feels both indulgent and grounding, a beautiful memory in the making. • MERCI!
