VILLA DES CHENES

This restaurant run by a sincere and welcoming couple in an old farmhouse about 15km from Bourges is definitely one to recommend. Everything is house-made, most of the vegetables come from the family's own garden, and freshness is the order of the day in each dish. Multi-course set menus – more elaborate in the evening and at weekends – to be enjoyed on the shaded terrace bordered by the garden.
