Palais de Chine sur Besancon

26/07/2026: Le Petit Atelier is a gourmet restaurant located in the center of Besançon. Offering superb small plates, you can dine indoors or outdoors. The excellent dishes are a true pleasure to eat. I highly recommend it.

21/07/2026: The setting is very charming, the wine list is lovely, and the service is pleasant. We were drawn in by the short and original menu. The prices are on the higher end (expect to pay between €19 and €24 for lunch dishes), but this is justified by the use of organic meat and several local products. While the quality of the ingredients was excellent, we found the portions to be quite small. We have small appetites but left still hungry. We understand that quality products come at a cost for the restaurant, but we would have appreciated, for example, a few more starches and vegetables on the plate – perhaps a way to ensure satiety without cutting into profit margins!
