• Troisgros - Le Bois sans Feuilles★★★ Michelin In this nature-inspired interior designed by architect Patrick Bouchain, the glass-paned dining areas are arranged around an imposing century-old oak tree. In this setting, César carries on the family tradition with aplomb, with cuisine that bears the Troisgros hallmark more indelibly than ever. The dishes are original, punctuated with flashes of vegetable-based ingenuity and subtle hints of acidity and bitterness. Beautifully elevated ingredients; refined and adventurous dishes; a permaculture kitchen garden and lake – an exceptional restaurant in a setting that will take your breath away.20.0km
• Château d'Origny★ Michelin In this 16C château, where period terracotta floor tiles meet stone fireplaces, chef Julien Laval – who previously worked at Restaurant Serge Vieira in Chaudes-Aigues and was a finalist in the French Dessert Championship – is truly coming into his own. His indulgent modern dishes combine top-notch ingredients with a judicious use of international details, and are meticulously presented – take, for example, the foie gras terrine topped with a green tea and hibiscus jelly, served with lychee chutney in kumquat vinegar, or the Dombes duckling prepared two ways: cooked whole and pastilla, accompan21.4km

• L'Atelier LocavoreBib On the banks of the River Loire, this restaurant is run by a local chef, whose trademark is delicious market-fresh cuisine. He serves an affordable set menu at lunchtime and a more elaborate monthly set menu. He carefully sources his ingredients, giving local produce pride of place: foie gras from Domaine de Limagne, trout caught in the Oron, beef from a farmer-butcher in Renaison, Roanne saffron and organic vegetables from Arfeuilles. A lovely cheese trolley is presented in the dining room.22.9km
• La Source★ Michelin Originally from Cuzieu, a mere 2km away, Antoine Bergeron is very much a local boy.

• Restaurant de la Loire★ Michelin Set on the banks of the Loire, this inn, refurbished in a tasteful modern vein, is the bolthole of Marie and Fabien Raux (born in northern France, the chef’s eclectic career has taken him to fine establishments from Morocco to Alsace). The chef crafts dishes in the zeitgeist, curated into a single set menu and starring seasonal produce. The vegetables come straight from the nearly 5 acres of garden and orchard that supply 90% of the restaurant’s needs, even in winter! The remainder is sourced from a handful of local producers: Loire zander, lamb, rabbit… Everything tastes of something in this 35.8km
• Château Blanchard★ Michelin Surrounded by parkland, this handsome 1920s property was inspired by the Italian Renaissance, hence the frieze under the eaves depicting mythological scenes, marble and mosaics. The elegant colonnaded dining room, meanwhile, is more contemporary in spirit with embedded lighting, comfy armchairs and refined tableware. Two brothers manage this family business: chef Sylvain Roux, whose heartwarming dishes showcase top-drawer ingredients: crab, ponzu gelée and sea urchin cream, and enthusiastic sommelier Frédéric Roux. The latter can be relied upon for insightful wine tips that never fail to deliv36.2km

• Le Petit Prince Unlike its namesake, this charming restaurant did not fall from an asteroid but was in fact founded in the early 19C by the great-great-aunts of the current owner. You can expect carefully devised and executed dishes in the zeitgeist with overtones of surf and turf accents. The several-course menus are artfully plated and tempting, without forgetting a splendid cheese (matured on site) trolley and a simpler lunchtime lineup. In addition to the fine dining establishment, the house also operates the bistronomic Le 1534 lounge and a delicatessen store, as well as organising tasting sessions in it20.6km
• Le Bistrot de la Gare Now a destination for food lovers, this bistro was once a station building (on the former PLM network). It has lost none of its charm – brick semi-circular arches, wooden shutters painted in the green of France's SNCF railway and a clock on the façade; inside, original terracotta floor tiles, wood and wrought-iron tables, and wallpaper with 1970s patterns. Clémence (front of house) and Sacha (kitchen) are the young couple at the controls. His indulgent contemporary dishes – pâté en croûte and seasonal pickles; free-range poultry, gnocchi, sweetcorn and spinach; chocolate tart – showcase colour21.0km
