Chef's Restaurant

The former XVIIIᵉ century armory has become one of the prefecture's finest tables, under the direction of Jean-Charles Lavier. The house on the banks of the Doubs reproduces a fine regional tradition, as pleasing in substance as in form, with the unmissable mushroom crust, pavé de lieu jaune à la plancha, pea risotto and creamy fumet, a Bresse chicken with morels and cream, leg in ballotine, soft-cooked supreme and potato millefeuille. Classic desserts.
