Bang in the heart of a rural village on the Plaine des Vosges, not far from the spa towns, this hotel-restaurant has been run by the same family since 1919. Hungry travellers happily take a seat in the lovely dining rooms, one of which, with an exposed timber ceiling, was once the village washhouse. Chef Maye Cissoko confidently finetunes a seasonal score, in which premium ingredients are allowed to shout their name, e.g.: scallops, served raw and as quenelles, or veal smoked in hay with coffee-laced Jerusalem artichoke and a gutsy gravy.
WebsiteIn this peaceful Haute-Marne village that was close to General de Gaulle's heart, this fine 17C stone house is surrounded by beautiful grounds that blend into the countryside. Inside, however, not a hint of nostalgia, whether in the contemporary decor or the cuisine – not even in the set menu dubbed "Je vous ai compris!" (I have understood you! – from De Gaulle's famous speech). Chef Jean-Baptiste Natali has travelled extensively, taking in Marrakesh, London and New York. He creates contemporary French cuisine (with frequent nods to his travels), using premium ingredients such as venison, turb
WebsiteA former officers' mess, this mansion standing proud next to the Porte des Moulins is now a charming restaurant, designed and set up by chef Laurent Petit. Both the name and decor of this elegant property surrounded by a large vegetable garden pay homage to the tradition of basket-making in Fayl-Billot – the birthplace of this champion of ingredients from Lake Annecy. The carte blanche menu devised by Valentin Loison (the chef from the Jura previously worked at Le Clos des Sens and Mirazur) is creative and on point, drawing inspiration from foraging (polypody), garden vegetables, local livesto
WebsiteEstablished in a handsome mansion, abutting the Opera House and just behind one of France’s most beautiful squares, chef Charles Coulombeau and his wife Roxane are a firm fixture of Nancy’s culinary scene. After stints at Les Prés d’Eugénie and Lameloise, Charles deftly crafts modern cuisine, enhanced by creative flourishes and nods to Japan, where he worked for a time. Citrus, seaweed and Asian notes are perfectly paired with premium ingredients such as ikejime Vosges Arctic Char or plump Bresse chicken. Knockout terrace overlooking the park.
WebsiteChâteau de Courban is an elegant 19C mansion with a burnt sienna-coloured façade, looking out over its grounds. Preceded by a plush lounge with a crackling fireplace, the restaurant is housed in the property's converted barn, which boasts a beamed ceiling in the regional style, chandeliers and mirrors. In the manner of a skilled craftsman, the chef shapes his raw materials – excellent ingredients – into delicate seasonal dishes, the leitmotif of which is flavour: tomato confit and its three condiments; line-caught cod with sauce bonne femme; Racan pigeon, pigeon-foie gras sausage, cabbage and
WebsiteIn the heart of the capital of the Vosges, Stéphane Ringer and Rémi Gornet preside over this neo-Tudor style manor, with high ceilings, stained-glass windows, precious panelling and cornices that combine to provide an exceptional backdrop for your meal. The two chefs deliver modern dishes based on top-notch produce – lobster, langoustines, turbot, caviar, sweetbreads – cooked with precision. Generously stocked cheese and dessert trolleys make for quite a finale, while the cellar boasts a strong collection of bordeaux. Terrasse/conservatory with a sliding roof.
WebsiteMartine and Laurent Petit have chosen to write a new chapter in their story on these premises that used to be an officers' mess – in an elegant townhouse next to the Porte des Moulins. The great chef has teamed up with Valentin Loison (in the kitchen) and Anaïs Bercegeay (front of house) to bring this ambitious project to life. Surrounded by a magnificent vegetable garden, the house has been turned into a hotel that accommodates two restaurants. At Mirabelle, the atmosphere is resolutely warm and convivial, providing the perfect setting for diners to savour the indulgent cuisine made with ingr
WebsiteIn the heart of the Lunéville countryside, this romantic, classical château is nestled in wooded grounds. You pass through a dignified series of rooms that have lost none of their period cachet: wainscoting, parquet floors and open fireplaces, into the dining room overlooking the grounds. A few subtle baroque and contemporary touches brighten up this glamorous interior, providing the perfect foil to the chef's cuisine – traditional with modern touches. Previously a pastry chef, the talented and discreet Cyril Leclerc (who hails from Lorraine) loves premium produce. He treats it with respect –
