• Auberge du Château de Vaite In the family since the 1960s, this inn proposes traditional cuisine that showcases regional produce. Morels take pride of place, as do pike-perch and chicken in vin jaune, without forgetting frogs’ legs, fresh from the restaurant’s pond in season. The self-service distributor of home-made dishes next-door is something of a curiosity.40.8km

A wickedly irresistible dessert trolley winds up this gourmet feast.46.2km
• Épicéa In a narrow street near the Doubs, this couple, who earned their stripes in prestigious establishments, work in tandem in the open kitchen, occasionally venturing out to serve diners. Their single set menu, based on carefully selected seasonal produce and enhanced by wild-picked ingredients, is akin to a natural history lesson: carrot / marjoram / plantain / burnet / bay leaf; black pork / pumpkin / poultry jus / spring onion oil; beetroot / raspberry / coriander / iced nougat.46.4km
• Les Gamins This buzzy contemporary restaurant in the heart of the city is eminently welcoming – terracotta walls, wooden tables, velvet-upholstered chairs and unusual light fixtures using bicycle wheels and exposed light bulbs. The dishes, largely inspired by the market, are deftly crafted: snails in bacon and époisses cheese; confit pork cheeks, chorizo and cream of sweet onions… The wine list is predominantly organic and stars Burgundy and Jura vintages.46.5km
• Le Saint Cerf "This contemporary bistro with a pleasant interior proposes tasty food rife with various influences, including Asian touches, skilfully handled from start to finish, without ostentation. Add to that a distinct tendency towards the ""natural"" (seasonality, ingredients) and a handful of vegetarian dishes and you get an ambassador of the Besançon's revival. "46.6km

The self-taught chef is a stickler for perfection – as the first and last bite will confirm.46.8km
• Le Sauvage At the foot of the Vauban Citadel, this opulent hotel occupies the former convent of the Poor Clares. Antique parquet floors and starched tablecloths set the elegant scene, further enhanced by a magnificent terrace overlooking the park. The gifted chef crafts a modern score.47.1km
