Nicolas Grandclaude is at the helm of this handsome property decorated in a modern vein and a 10-minute drive from Épinal. Modern fine dining depicts the culinary slant and the plating is as exquisite as the flavours are gutsy and legible. When the weather is fine, the alfresco patio is a hit. A treat from start to finish!

€€Traditional Cuisine
Located in the village where artist Claude Lorrain was born, this snug bistro serves bang-on French country cooking (a juicy fillet of Hereford beef and home-made béarnaise sauce, sweetbread with morels and a crème brûlée worthy of Amélie Poulain), dotted with modern touches (red tuna and seasonings). Top-notch produce and a savvy wine list.

In a village house, the dinky dining room blends parquet floors with bare stone. Chef Benjamin Royer creates dishes that showcase a soft spot for premium produce and undeniable savoir-faire: langoustines flambéed on a stone and paired with Mirabelle plums or confit of Polmard lamb. Attentive front-of-house team.

In the suburbs of the city (not far from the École de Nancy Museum), this discreet restaurant is run by an industry professional. In a simple and welcoming setting, it strikes a chord with its unpretentious sincerity. Market-fresh ingredients are the cornerstone of this young chef's tasty, well-executed bistro cuisine: Swiss chard stuffed with goat's cheese, veal shank with black garlic, and a grape and walnut dessert. A charming, friendly little place offering good value for money.

Between the Villa Majorelle and the Musée de l'École de Nancy, this restaurant, which seats no more than 16, is housed in a historic former hairdressing salon! In a suitably uncluttered Scandinavian-style interior, chef Theo Mareschal rolls out simple, accessible cuisine in the zeitgeist, presented in “surprise menus”.
€€Modern Cuisine
An understated, stripped-back dining room is the perfect foil for the chef’s modern, creative recipes, illustrated by flawlessly cooked arctic char served with grilled sarrazin wheat and crisp baby leeks in a saté sauce. The chef’s welcoming, professional spouse oversees the front of house. Those with a sweet tooth will be in seventh heaven thanks to the decadent dessert trolley.
