• La Huchette★ Michelin On the doorstep of Mâcon, this 1950s inn has retained its hunting frescoes by the Zuber manufactory and a lovingly maintained historic interior.

• L'O des Vignes★ Michelin This stone building in the Mâconnais region is surrounded by a landscape of vineyards that extends to the Roche de Solutré. It houses the restaurant of a true Burgundian, Sébastien Chambru, who worked notably at Le Moulin de Mougins. He then headed off to Japan and, in Tokyo, was enthralled by the respect the Japanese chefs had for their ingredients. The author of several cookery books, he now conjures up his delicately creative cuisine here in Fuissé, finding inspiration in the day’s market (marinated and flamed tuna with condiments and beetroot-yuzu vinaigrette for example).

• La Table de Chaintré★ Michelin This quintessential country restaurant, tucked away in a picturesque village in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyards, is the brainchild of a friendly, industrious couple. He scours the local markets for fine produce, which he unveils in cleverly crafted dishes. For example, langoustines from Brittany with celtuce and the first tomatoes, frogs’ legs poached and deep-fried in Japanese breadcrumbs, or Bresse chicken with pattypan squash, rainbow chard and heirloom carrots… The food is naturally enough paired with a fine selection of Burgundy and Beaujolais.

• La Table BâgésienneBib Behind the spruce façade of this former coaching inn, chef Martin is as comfortable rustling up hearty Bresse cuisine as he is dishes with influences from outside of the region – from chicken liver terrine and crayfish bisque to semi-cooked salmon maki, horseradish mayonnaise or skrei flavoured with sweet spices. The chef extends an invitation to taste new things, in a spirit of discovery echoed by the globes on the tables. This fragrant, skilful and delicate cuisine is an invitation to embark on a journey of the senses. What better way to celebrate sunny weather than with a rum-flambéed banan7.9km
