Gault&Millau's review 2026

Besançon's oldest restaurant has the charm of old houses, a discreet, chic luxury expressed in the moldings, mirrors and old parquet flooring, a finely reproduced bourgeois spirit. The chef uses local produce to perfection: pike cannelloni with fresh herbs, avocado cream and jasmine; Jura trout, broad beans and rhubarb, sparkling almond milk; caramelized sweetbreads, green asparagus and morel mushrooms, emulsified yellow wine sauce; buckwheat tuile, chocolate espuma and candied pear, chocolate sorbet. Formula €38.
