Le Richelieu Bacchus

Located on a pedestrian street, this restaurant pays homage to hunting and culinary competitions: the chef, a finalist in the Lièvre à la Royale Championship, is also a fan of pâté en croûte. Meat dominates the menu – oreiller de la belle Aurore; fillet of guinea fowl, grilled green beans, shiso leaf tempura and offal sauce, not to mention the carefully prepared desserts. Small terrace.

In the centre of Fontainebleau, Fuumi is the teppanyaki outpost of starred chef Kunihisa Goto. Authentic Japanese fare, crafted directly in front of diners, particularly if you are lucky enough to nab one of the counter seats that command the best view of the culinary performance. The banquet of gyozas, ramen and okonomiyaki, the house specialty, illustrates the infinite care lavished on each dish. The attractively priced Bento lineup at lunchtime (teishoku menu), with a soup, small sides and a choice of main course, is just the ticket for a delicious snack. Friendly, buzzy vibe. Bookings high

Diners come here for the atmosphere and tastes of Spain, especially Asturias, where the family who own the place hail from. On the menu, you'll find top-notch ingredients, succulent Iberian recipes – Iberian pork pluma, paella bodega (chicken, chorizo, cuttlefish, mussels and prawns), salt cod with aïoli, delicious turrón for dessert – as well as some daily specials. You won't be disappointed!

This restaurant, located in an old antique shop in the centre of the village, cannot fail but delight: a contemporary, elegant interior, a patio-terrace ideal in fine weather, and at the helm, a young couple who offer market-inspired dishes like this grilled octopus with black garlic and fregola sarda pasta, or rump of veal with polenta and cardamom.
