• Le Verbois★ Michelin Following in his father’s footsteps, Guillaume Guibet has taken over the reins of this former hunting lodge (1886). His spot-on, creative cooking keeps pace with the seasons, with the occasional nod to Asian traditions acquired after a stint at the Japanese restaurant, Kei, in Paris). He delicately, even cheekily crafts a feast of premium ingredients, as in a ceviche of bream with button mushrooms or morels and a bacon-flavoured sabayon. The same flair extends to the stylish wood- and leather-rich interior and to the guestrooms, designed like individual chalets, with a terrace or outdoor tub w23.5km
• L'Orée de la Forêt★ Michelin On the edge of the forest of Hez, this gracious late-19C mansion, set in peaceful wooded grounds, is ideal for a gourmet weekend in the country. After savouring the peace and quiet of the terrace, the plush bourgeois interior provides the perfect foil for the talents of chef Nicolas Leclercq and his wife Yolaine. Nicolas’ grandmother first opened the restaurant back in 1956, at which time she made her own butter from the milk of her own cow! The large cottage garden (take the time to stroll around it after your meal) supplies the kitchen with fresh vegetables and herbs, which are picked by the36.2km
• CharnuBib On the road to the Château de Chantilly – famous for its ancient paintings, the richest collection after the Louvre's – this place with a refined decor has not one, but two terraces. Perfect for sunny days! The delicious, seasonal cuisine works its charm, enhanced with harissa here (on the gazpacho), with pesto there (on the tuna, broad beans, Swiss chard and peppers).27.1km
• Auberge de la Brie★ Michelin This local institution has proudly retained its MICHELIN star for over 30 years. Ever popular with its loyal clientele, the charming restaurant has more than one string to its bow, with its bright and elegant setting (the dining room overlooks the garden), its consistent modern cuisine with a personal touch, and smiling service from Céline. The chef – her husband, Alain Pavard – thrills diners with top-quality ingredients and precise flavours in dishes such as Mediterranean vegetables, burrata espuma, basil and crispy buckwheat tuile; pollock, fennel confit, rouille and bouillabaisse velouté; 39.9km
• La Grange de Belle-Église★ Michelin This restaurant promises succulent traditional cuisine, made using quality ingredients, most of which come from the surrounding countryside. Fine dining takes the limelight in this former coal barn, converted into a plush, culinary haven. Following in Marc Duval's footsteps, chef Thomas Filippa is a firm fan of old-school culinary classics, although he does allow himself the occasional more modern twist: asparagus, shellfish, Noilly Prat sabayon and caviar; line-caught seabass, roast lettuce and olive oil sauce… The dining room opens onto a manicured garden.42.1km
• Auberge de la Grive★ Michelin In a beautiful stone building nestling in parkland on the edge of the forest, the chef and his wife prepare dishes that delight the palate: delicious lobster and lettuce cooked on the barbecue, spicy nasturtium leaves, blueberries and a potent shell jus; PGI volaille de Licques (poultry) also cooked on the barbecue, mushrooms delicately bound in an anchovy vinaigrette, and poultry jus with a black garlic twist; raspberry, radish and beetroot for dessert. Working only with the most "natural" ingredients possible, chef Nicolas Gautier takes many risks with his off-the-beaten-track pairings, and 44.0km
• La Vieille Auberge★ Michelin This pretty village with a medieval church and 18C obelisk was founded in the 13C by the Counts of Champagne; in the 19C it was restored by architect Viollet-le-Duc. It is the ideal place for experienced and talented chef Nicolas Tissier (who has previously worked with Jean-François Piège and Christian Le Squer) to take over the family business. He gives free rein to his inspiration with surprise set menus packed with premium ingredients: langoustine, monkfish, sweetbreads, chanterelles, which he makes the most of in his balanced and harmonious dishes. The cheese platter, with its 50 or so typ47.8km
• Le Julianon The bright contemporary decor of this charming 17C house sets the scene for the chef's inventive cuisine, which tactfully plays on combinations of texture and flavour, in dishes such as free-range egg, scallop roe, matured black shallot confit and turmeric breadcrumbs, or chia seeds flavoured with Madagascan vanilla, dark chocolate with rose water, coconut biscuit and pimpernel. The set menu changes daily, depending on market availability.15.7km
• Villa9Trois★ Michelin This 19C villa, whose grounds are home to a herb garden and beehives, is the HQ of a provençal chef who signs a vibrant Mediterranean score. On the menu: subtly smoked red Mediterranean tuna on a bed of Paimpol beans, jazzed up with basil-pistou-inspired ravigote sauce, followed by pearlescent scallops paired with a green anise-spiked stock of small grey crabs and a bourride, finishing with a fig served with hazelnuts and tonka bean. A well-curated wine list, some vintages of which come in magnums and jeroboams. Bouncy, on-the-ball wait staff and a pleasant fine weather terrace.49.4km
• Rhizome The rhizome is an underground shoot full of energy resources that is the equivalent to a root for some plants. A name that cleverly references the return of this young Soissons couple to their Picardy roots, after stints in top establishments (Mère Brazier, Parisian Saturne, Auberge du Vert Mont). The name also depicts their lively and instinctive, market-fresh cuisine and regularly changing menu, together with the couple’s clear preference for local produce and organic and natural wines. A firm fixture on the local culinary scene and not only because of its (single) lunch set menu. We recomme19.9km
