A stone’s throw from the covered market, Sicilian-born chef Giovanni Spataro draws his inspiration as much from his land of adoption, hence pork belly, stuffed cabbage, caviar from Burgundy and a gutsy mustard gravy, as from his Italian heritage, depicted by butternut ravioli del plin, gingerbread and gorgonzola or beccafico-style gilt-head bream, served with varying textures of onions and a jus made with the fishbones. The weekday lunchtime menu offers excellent value for pleasure.

Near the antique dealers’ district, this restaurant serves exquisitely plated food in the zeitgeist in the form of surprise menus. The vegetables and fruit come from the chef’s garden. The market-fresh lunchtime menu is a steal. Courtyard patio for alfresco dining.

This gourmet bolthole offers a taste of happiness. Chef Kadoguchi delivers well-executed and beautifully presented dishes, alternating between Japanese specialties (gyozas) and French recipes (pollack, Provençal sauce) or mixing the two, as he does in his excellent picanha with Asian sauce. Harmonious textures and flavours, spot-on cooking techniques, a fine selection of wines and a perfect welcome – what's not to like?

€€Modern Cuisine, Farm to table
What would Monique, the grandmother of chef Clara Reydet, have made of this charming bistro where seasonal vegetables are the star attraction? Only positive things, for sure! Clara cooks without inhibitions, draws on various influences and wins everyone over with her black pudding cream, scorched leeks, apple and sunflower-seed relish, or gnocchi with confit butternut squash, blanquette sauce and carrot pesto. This fusion cuisine with (not completely) vegetarian leanings is to be enjoyed in the simple, spruce space with lots of wood. Small terrace on the pedestrianised street.

Originally from Northern China, Xin Meng runs this delightful French-Asian fusion place with a simple neo-bistro decor (stone walls, dark wood tables and chairs). Single-handed in the kitchen, the chef skilfully combines spices, tofu and kimchi with high-quality seasonal French ingredients, to compose dishes such as rack of pork, chimichurri, courgette cream and green curry, accompanied by a dash of creamy hummus and multi-coloured carrot ribbons tossed in an orange vinaigrette – delicious!

This lilliputian restaurant serves globetrotting food in the zeitgeist, with a sprinkling of spices and based on seasonal, mostly local, ingredients. The culinary offer is rolled out in a single set "mystery" menu comprised of several courses at dinner, and a reasonably priced lunchtime menu with options. Fine selection of wine, beer and spirits (whiskies, eaux de vie etc).
