After training with the best, he reinvents the classics with panache, incorporating a host of Japanese ingredients: daikon, lotus roots, nori, shiso leaves, Wagyu beef… His version of the slow-cooked egg has become a must. Each dish is a masterclass of plating, balanced flavours and gourmet indulgence. Attentive, courteous service.42.1km
• 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 chili45.9km
• 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,47.6km

• Fuumi In the centre of Fontainebleau, Fuumi is the teppanyaki outpost of starred chef Kunihisa Goto. Authentic Japanese fare, crafted directly in front of diners, particularly if you are lucky enough to nab one of the counter seats that command the best view of the culinary performance. The banquet of gyozas, ramen and okonomiyaki, the house specialty, illustrates the infinite care lavished on each dish.
