• Le SarmentBib At this restaurant, the name of which means "vine branch", a pair of chefs work in tandem to cook up honest, unpretentious cuisine. The ingredients and produce – particularly the vegetables – retain all their flavour in dishes such as iced pea soup with goat's cheese and Thai basil. The desserts, too, are meticulously made, a case in point being the strawberry, almond and Timut peppercorn pavlova. The menu-carte features mouthwatering suggestions!876m
• L'Aspérule At the foot of Saint Pierre Church, sited in a historic town house, the dining room sports a minimalist edge. The Japanese chef crafts cuisine that pairs local produce with the millimetric accuracy of his homeland, depicted by trout in a beurre blanc with celeriac and nori seaweed, or a rack of pork with a charcutière sauce. Sensibly priced lunchtime market menu, more ambitious in the evening.848m
• Le Noyo A few minutes’ walk from the covered market, this dinky eatery, refurbished in a tasteful modern vibe, is the brainchild of François Liebaert, a well-known local chef. His enticing seasonal menu is occasionally jazzed up with creative notes, such as line-caught hake served with a gutsy Spanish sauce, flanked by spot-on balanced seasonings and artistic plating. Estelle efficiently and cheerfully manages the front of house.1.0km
• La Table - Maison Lobies In the middle of the village, with the church on one side and fields on the other, this beautiful 18C manor house with a courtyard to the front has a refined, classical decor. The premises are both home and place of work for an enthusiastic, smiling couple with experience in some of the world's top restaurants. Sun Young, a pastry chef who hails from South Korea, and chef Jérémie work together to devise an appealing, delicious and rather traditional menu: super-soft poultry with crispy skin and an excellent, generous fricassee of chanterelle mushrooms, and a buttery potato purée; beef chuck co7.8km
• Chablis Wine NotBib In this world-famous wine-growing village, a "wine bistro" is bound to be a hit. Picture the scene: a local entrepreneur, two Japanese chefs who are huge fans of French cuisine, top-notch ingredients (house-made tapas, charcuterie and purebred meats that have been perfectly matured), and an amazing wine list at bargain prices (to sample here or take away). Local patrons and wine-loving tourists mingle here, and a positive atmosphere reigns. To be consumed in moderation!17.6km
• J'MCA Traditional, expertly crafted, market-fresh cuisine that lets the ingredient shout its name, such as lacquered sweetbread with peanuts and cauliflower. The à la carte lineup stars a range of pedigree Gallic classics such as homemade terrine, upside-down onion and chicory pie, calf’s head and even game in season. Cheerful service sets the tone in this handsome abode just a stone’s throw from the village church and square.11.1km
• Les Trois Bourgeons This contemporary bistro with an understated decor has blossomed in an old cellar belonging to Domaine Laroche, famous for producing Chablis. Trained in Tokyo and some top-flight French establishments, the Japanese chef invites his customers to partake in cuisine inspired by regional dishes revisited with imagination. Good value for money.17.5km
• Au Fil du Zinc Mathieu Sagardoytho, the new owner-chef of the Zinc, signs a creative menu that pays tribute to painstakingly sourced ingredients (mackerel from Trinité-sur-Mer marinated in mirin, lamb from Clavisy farm, plums from Yonne). Remarkable list of Chablis (and other Burgundies).17.6km
