Bistro Retro sur Besancon

15/04/2026: Super nice owner with his partner, speaks great english!! we were very hungry and even though the restaurant wasn’t open the owner managed to throw us something together. played very good music, free toilet. don’t trust the negative reviews :)

13/04/2026: A lovely restaurant, just like in the old days. Good traditional French cuisine. I had the andouillette sausage with mustard and the fries, which were very good. The decor and furnishings are recent but pleasant. Floating islands for dessert. I hope the owner—who certainly deserves his retirement—finds a buyer and that they don't stray too far from the original concept.
