• Côté Jardin★ Michelin This aptly named establishment is supplied by a market gardener who grows over 300 varieties of vegetables, fruit and herbs. Chef Arnaud Billard, a native of Maubeuge, is now at home on the left bank of the Loire on the road to Bourges. His tasty, spot-on market cuisine is clearly veggie focused, thanks to inspired, yet subtle associations together with an underlying fondness for citrus fruits.

Examples include scallops on a bed of leeks, paired with a delicious yuzu kosho sauce, which is a paste made out of chili12.8km

• La Table de Christophe Hay et Loïs Bée★ Michelin Opposite Limère golf course, Christophe Hay's second establishment sports a contemporary interior inspired by nature and the forest, the chef's main muses, together with vegetables from his garden. The huge open kitchen is in the hands of chef Loïs Bée, whose highly personal score, underpinned by confident technique, is nonetheless perfectly in tune with the house ethos. The delicate, seasonal cuisine is eco-conscious and favours short supply chains and game in season. Think Sologne trout, cucumber, verbena and tapioca; fillet and andouille of ostrich, parsley-flavoured viennoise, wild garlic,45.1km
• Le P'tit Bouchon This small restaurant located between the town centre and the Faïencerie de Gien ceramics museum is a real hub of bistronomy.

Tuck in!12.1km
• Maison Medard★ Michelin Wholesome flavours, jus, emulsions and sauces that melt in the mouth, illustrated by quenelle of sheatfish, white asparagus and langoustine cream or loin of pork and artichokes in a gutsy veal gravy. Their new take on the ubiquitous crottin de Chavignol featuring a light, unctuous, siphoned mousse surrounded by an acidic tomato juice is out of this world. The chef’s up-to-date, intelligent, delicate cuisine sings the praises of local produce, all of which orchestrated into subtle, colourful dishes. Chef Julien Medard and his wife Delphine (in charge of the dining room) warmly greet customers i46.5km
