This pleasant, trendy restaurant close to the cathedral is run by young chef Stéphane Bruyer. In a renovated dining space decorated in natural tones (with lots of plants), he serves simple, seasonal cuisine, using market produce to devise a single set menu (with a choice of fish or meat). This is a very popular spot in Amiens... and it's easy to see why.

Bang in the middle of town, this restaurant sports a modern, colourful interior, the entrance to which is graced with a fresco by a local artist. Chef Frédéric Barrette unveils his creative talent in dishes that add a delicate spin to Gallic classics: ravioles of haddock with haddock skin powder and Timut pepper, crispy sweetbread with mustard sabayon and a gutsy gravy. A friendly vibe depicts this establishment which blends culinary excellence and a cheerful front-of-house team.

Located near Amiens Cathedral, Les Orfèvres offers modern French cuisine. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of fresh, seasonal ingredients and sophisticated flavor combinations, alongside competent wine pairings. Service is generally described as professional and welcoming, though isolated incidents of errors or coldness were noted. The decor is chic yet sober, but some guests found the atmosphere impersonal or noisy. Negative feedback primarily centers on value for money, with several reviewers feeling the prices are high relative to portion sizes or dessert quality. While many enjoyed the culinary finesse, others found the experience lacking in surprise or refinement compared to local alternatives.
Suitable for diners seeking refined seasonal cuisine who are less concerned with strict value-for-money ratios.

This establishment, run by Éric Boutté, rolls out classically themed cuisine with a modern twist that is in tune with the seasons and of local inspiration and origin. Among its emblematic dishes, you will find cabbage, painstakingly stuffed leaf by leaf, the house signature, or confit of rabbit leg flanked by a medley of parsnips. More adventurous diners might like to try marinated scallops on a purée of butternut, paired with smoked herring roe. The interior sports a splendid marriage of “waide” blue (a local pigment) and untreated concrete, in tribute to the region. Eater friendly prices.

Reviews for L'Aubergade are highly polarized. Positive feedback highlights the modern, spacious atmosphere and welcoming service, with some guests praising the beautiful presentation and affordability of meals, particularly for casual lunches. However, negative reviews cite inconsistent food quality, with specific complaints about poor-tasting pizzas. Service issues include unprofessional staff attire, cold attitudes, and slow responses. Additionally, the open veranda design has caused drafts, making the dining room uncomfortably cold, and hotel rooms are described as dilapidated with peeling carpets. The overall experience varies significantly depending on staff shifts and timing.
Suitable for travelers prioritizing ambiance over consistency, but verify staff professionalism and menu quality beforehand.

In this pretty inn, you simply decide how many courses you would like and the chef will do the rest! The young chef is rather bold in his cooking, sometimes dreaming up original combinations of flavours (no bad thing in this region where tradition reigns supreme). Pleasant, efficient service and good value for money. It is worth noting that a new shop adjoining the restaurant has been opened for takeaway dishes, from starter to dessert, concocted by the chef.

Located near the La Beaume waterfall in Le Brignon, La Bonne Auberge specializes in traditional, hearty homemade cuisine. Most reviewers praise the generous portions, fresh ingredients, and warm, friendly atmosphere with welcoming service. However, negative feedback highlights inconsistencies in meal pacing, occasionally cold dishes, and noise levels due to the space also serving as a school canteen. A minority of guests reported discrepancies between online images and actual servings, high prices, or hygiene issues like insects. While generally recommended for its substantial meals and reasonable value, experiences may vary depending on the specific visit.
Ideal for visitors seeking hearty traditional meals after sightseeing, best visited during off-peak hours.
