€€€Modern Cuisine
Chef Yann Caputo is a big fan of vegetables, which he grows in his own vegetable garden and sources from small local producers. Here in his "garden bistro", he also likes cooking fish, mainly from Brittany, in homage to his native region. The reasonably priced lunch menu is a steal. The evening menu features more high-end ingredients, which are always accompanied by vegetables from the chef's garden: seared langoustines with peanut and satay, green apple tartare with mint and tarragon; turbot and garden vegetables, hazelnut sabayon, trout roe and lemon caviar.

€€Traditional Cuisine
The decor is trendy with bare bricks, polished concrete floors and bistro furniture, as is the concept... Choose a bottle of wine from the cellar, before pairing it with a good, simple dish with a focus on ingredients (artisan produced charcuterie, free - range meat, cheeses from Bordier etc). A tasty and friendly place.

Located in central Troyes, Aux Crieurs de Vin operates as both a wine shop and restaurant. Reviews frequently praise the high-quality, inventive food, particularly beef dishes and cheese courses, alongside an impressive selection of natural wines. The atmosphere is popular with locals, and service is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable. However, some guests criticize the value, citing small portions and high prices, while a minority report inconsistent service or mediocre meals. It is best suited for wine enthusiasts willing to accept modest portion sizes.
Recommended for wine enthusiasts who appreciate small, refined portions.
€€Italian
Of Italian and Mediterranean inspiration, this bright, modern trattoria, housed in a former art gallery, overlooks a cobbled courtyard. We fell head over heels with the roasted artichokes in a pesto and parmesan jus. Before leaving, pop into the gourmet delicatessen store and stock up on top-of-the-range Italian goodies.

Located in Troyes, Caffè Cosi offers authentic Italian cuisine praised for its high food quality, attentive service, and warm atmosphere. Guests appreciate the owner's engaging descriptions and the staff's efficiency, with specific mentions of excellent vegetarian options. However, some reviewers criticize insufficient portion sizes, particularly for children, and occasional delays in meal pacing. While the culinary execution and ingredient selection receive high marks, many diners find the prices excessive relative to the region, noting that the cost often outweighs the value provided despite the generally positive dining experience.
Suitable for travelers prioritizing high-quality Italian cuisine over budget, with portion sizes worth verifying.
€€Farm to table
An enthusiastic self-taught young couple runs this restaurant with a subdued decor composed of raw materials. The premises also house a bakery and delicatessen leading onto a lovely terrace and indoor garden (including a citrus tree greenhouse). The ingredients, which are 95% organic, make for healthy, tasty and balanced dishes.
