€€Classic Cuisine
A classical interior lies behind the large windows of La Flamiche. Here, cuisine with robust traditional foundations is enhanced by a touch of modernity: one example would be the duck foie gras and smoked trout in a Granny Smith jelly, cucumber pickles and apple chutney – a beautifully crafted starter. Then there are the medallions of monkfish with lime, carrot and rocket, perfectly cooked in butter, the good old-fashioned way.

This grand town house is rich in history: Napoleon is said to have stayed here and it is close to where the famous Treaty of Cambrai was signed in 1529. The stylish interior mingles antique and modern pieces, while the culinary score demonstrates the passion and know-how of its father-son team. An example: lobster Bellevue and delicately seasoned shrimp paired with crisp maritime flavours and tangy citrus fruits. Don’t miss one of their signature desserts: warm madeleine cakes dipped in a honey and lemon cream that will whisk you straight to seventh heaven. L'Éphémère brasserie offers more tra

Maison Demarcq offers modern French cuisine with generally positive feedback on food quality, noted for fresh ingredients, generous portions, and diverse flavors, particularly in seafood and desserts. However, service experiences vary significantly; while many praise the friendly and efficient staff, others report indifferent management, poor pacing, and excessive wait times.

This family home dating back to the 19C was converted into a restaurant in 2008. At the helm, an experienced couple: she works in the kitchen, showcasing the home - grown produce by creating tasty dishes; he is in charge of front of house, as well as upkeep of the vegetable garden. Modern, light - filled conservatory.
€€€Creative
In this handsome, converted, red-brick farmhouse, Maëllie Poynard and Alexandre Laboureur champion local produce with heartwarming sincerity. Everything comes from small local producers from the seasonal veg to the meat. The chef has no qualms about expressing her creativity or trying out unexpected pairings: for example, caviar and chocolate in a match that turns out to be made in heaven. Spot-on technique, a contemporary interior and the relaxed, peaceful pace of a country village: Origine is very aptly named! Rooted, flavoursome food conjured up by an inventive, enthusiastic team.
€€€Modern Cuisine
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 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.

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.

Chef Jérôme Prévost (a local man and formerly sous-chef at Le Cerisier in Laventie) has brought panache to these premises – once an antique dealers' – in the heart of Douai. The elegant vestiges of the past (marble fireplace etc) blend in seamlessly with the restaurant's modern decor (with designer features such as circular banquettes, light fittings, swivel chairs). The chef makes the most of fish from the Côte d'Opale and vegetables from local producers; in season, he dedicates a menu to lobster. Boterzing, part of the same group, serves simpler bistronomy cuisine.
€€€Traditional Cuisine
In a delightful village on the banks of the Aisne in the heart of Compiègne Forest, this inn sports a traditional exterior and a modern, pared-back interior. Alfresco dining is bliss in fine weather on the terrace overlooking a landscaped garden. The score errs towards the traditional: pâté en croûte, veal kidneys in mustard, crème brûlée or soufflé to finish. The chef puts the finishing touches to carefully sourced seasonal ingredients, delivering an experience that is both authentic and polished.

The rhizome is an underground shoot full of energy resources that is the equivalent to a root for some plants. A name that cleverly references the return of this young Soissons couple to their Picardy roots, after stints in top establishments (Mère Brazier, Parisian Saturne, Auberge du Vert Mont). The name also depicts their lively and instinctive, market-fresh cuisine and regularly changing menu, together with the couple’s clear preference for local produce and organic and natural wines. A firm fixture on the local culinary scene and not only because of its (single) lunch set menu. We recomme
