Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Besancon

04/08/2026: The menu is small, a guarantee of fresh ingredients, and the service is quick. We were happy to be able to enjoy a mix of Asian and French cuisine, but although the dishes were named after Thai cuisine, we didn't find the typical Thai spices, or they were too diluted. A shame for the taste buds; I think there's a concept to improve, with dishes that are more pronounced in Thai flavors paired with milder French dishes.

04/08/2026: What a discovery! We were eager to try this French-Thai restaurant, and we weren't disappointed at all! The food was delicious, the spices were perfectly balanced, and the flavors were new and exciting! A real find! The prices are reasonable, and frankly, it's worth it. The decor is fantastic; we ate in the cellar, and it was magnificent! The only slight downside was the wait, which could be a little long at times. Go for it without hesitation!

09/08/2026: On Saturday, August 8, 2026, we were received with a kindness we no longer experience (we live in the Alpes-Maritimes department). The dishes were very good, very well presented (both in terms of style and quantity), and we tasted several wines...all excellent, each different but each one superb. Congratulations to the people who work there, as we felt wonderfully at ease. Finally, people who love their work, who enjoy human interaction...that's becoming very, very rare. Carole, Enola, and Jean-Philippe.

08/08/2026: Simple but very good food. The option to order from the menu as a starter or main course is very useful depending on your appetite.

24/08/2026: Everything was perfect. I recommend it!

23/08/2026: Had a delicious meal! Good portions. Good house wine.

06/08/2026: Beautifully prepared hot and cold savory and sweet appetizers. The chef is very friendly, attentive, and accommodating. She lent us insulated containers for transporting and keeping the food at the right temperature—it was perfect! Everything was in excellent condition, thank you for everything!

03/08/2026: Invited to a wedding this weekend at Château de Saint-Loup, we had an exceptional time. Everything was perfectly organized, from the cocktail hour to the meal, right up to the brunch the following day, where everything was delicious. The real added value was the team of servers. Always smiling, discreet, available, and attentive, they took excellent care of everyone, and especially the bride and groom. Their anticipation, adaptability, and good humor greatly contributed to the success of this magnificent weekend. A huge thank you to Sandra, Jenny, Théo, Izzy, Lolo, Flo, and Fifi for their professionalism and kindness. You played a major role in making this day unforgettable! Alexandra and Mylène

14/08/2026: A wonderful experience at Le Cercle, with attentive service and creative suggestions in the kitchen. The watermelon was a delightful surprise, and the sweetbreads were perfectly executed. The fish and tomato dishes were less to our liking, but the offerings were there. The reimagined lemon tart was a delight. Thank you.

12/08/2026: Excellent menu that deserves nothing but praise. A few suggestions: announce the dishes and their sides. The tomato starter was superb. Perhaps try enhancing the mousse's flavor with thyme or rosemary, as you do with the dessert. The sweetbreads were fantastic. Well done and thank you.

17/06/2026: Excellent place! Generous and delicious dishes and 5-star service. A must-try.

14/06/2026: We were welcomed and served with exemplary kindness by the owner. The meals are generous and remarkably delicious. Highly recommended.

05/08/2026: Extremely slow service and no smiles whatsoever. They seemed more interested in taking on more customers than in properly serving others. Very disappointed.

02/08/2026: Great experience! Although it's in a commercial area, the terrace is lovely, well-shaded and green, making you forget your surroundings! The food was very good, and the price was reasonable. The service was impeccable and friendly. Some tables for two were a little too close together; we felt like we were sharing with our neighbors. But this wasn't the case for all the tables. Thank you, we'll be back!

30/08/2026: A really cool restaurant, specializing in potato dishes, but absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, it's not easy to find because of its narrow entrance. But still highly recommended.

29/08/2026: A very cozy restaurant with delicious regional dishes. Super friendly service, big thumbs up!! Highly recommended!

17/07/2026: Really nice place. Very busy, but really good service and good French food. Good atmosphere.

03/07/2026: Good but expensive. I ordered one (yes, one) beefsteak tomato with creamy sauce. I was asked if I wanted fries on the side. Well, why not? The tomato was flavorful, the seasoning was generous but perfect. But when the bill arrived, I discovered that the fries were actually mandatory, and for the portion size, they weren't cheap. The main course was €14, and the few fries were €4.10! With the drink, the total came to over €25. What a shame.

22/05/2026: Great products and top-notch service!

22/05/2026: Staying at a hotel, I stumbled upon this restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! The waiter greeted us with a smile and a cheerful demeanor. The food was refined, and the wine selection by the glass was diverse, including, of course, a local Savagnin. The dishes are homemade and delicious. I particularly enjoyed the modern twist on spring rolls. I highly recommend this restaurant.

27/08/2026: A very good experience at 1802 for a quiet and cool lunch in Granvelle. Carefully prepared dishes, a nice wine list, and impeccable service. At €17 for the lunch special, I highly recommend it! Thank you for the warm welcome and congratulations to the whole team.

27/08/2026: Sunday lunch. Pleasant setting. Service was okay. However, the food didn't live up to the price. It was good, but nothing special. The prices suggest something more flavorful and refined. The mackerel starter was fish fritters (lacking citrus sauce to liven things up) served on a well-prepared and seasoned tomato carpaccio. The fish main course was severely lacking in sauce (literally a drop). The other diners tried the eggplant caviar, which was unsurprising, the duck cooked pink (okay) but dry, the ribeye steak cooked fine, the fries were fine, and the green salad was well-seasoned. The mixed salad included trout fritters, grapefruit, and avocado mousse (nothing original or surprising). In short, it didn't live up to the advertised standard.

03/06/2026: Absolutely perfect. A real restaurant.

23/05/2026: A special meal during a private event. The food was excellent, the service superb, and the setting very pleasant.

27/07/2026: A regular customer and never disappointed. Top-notch food and service. Unbeatable value for money in Besançon. Highly recommended!

16/06/2026: Really nice, lovely homemade food, lots of choices

19/08/2026: The owner is very pleasant! Everything is homemade and so delicious / I highly recommend it!

19/08/2026: In addition to excellent service, the drinks and food are top-notch. Furthermore, the prices are very reasonable considering the quality of what's offered. It's a great place to spend a pleasant time.

04/07/2026: A place where you will feel the soul of the region.

02/07/2026: I saw the reviews on Google Maps and drove across town to have lunch here. But when I arrived, it was closed even though Google said it was open until 2 PM. Why don't you update Google???
