Les meilleurs restaurantsde cuisine française en Auxerre

29/08/2026: We had an absolutely amazing evening. What Chef Hidetachi Kurita and his wife (the only staff) conjure up and present is simply fantastic! The dishes and the sequence of the Japanese-European fusion menu (only €46, which usually costs at least twice as much for this quality) and the preparation were simply original, extremely refined, and precise. My highlights were the perfectly cooked (onsen) egg with mushroom espuma and the Andalusian-style octopus with a mashed potato crown. Every dish was a revelation, both in terms of taste and presentation. His wife, who runs the front of house, manages everything with absolute friendliness, courtesy, attentiveness, and professionalism. A fantastic experience that we highly recommend to all gourmets. In our opinion, this restaurant deserves a Michelin star and around 16 Gault Millau points. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Auxerre. Thank you again for the wonderful hospitality and the excellent food! Definitely go – but make a reservation beforehand!

05/09/2026: We came by chance one Sunday at lunchtime, looking for an open restaurant in Auxerre for a stopover. The owner was incredibly kind, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was very quick. It was so good that we went back the following Sunday on our way home! A big thank you for a wonderful time!

23/09/2026: Excellent restaurant and lovely staff. Highly recommended!

19/08/2026: We came on the evening of August 19th, and everything was perfect from start to finish: starter, main course, dessert, and wine. The welcome was wonderful. The main course was fabulous, delicious, and beautifully presented. The servers were friendly and professional. We will be back very soon.

19/08/2026: Truly disappointing considering the restaurant's reputation. €42 for the lunch menu included a tomato gazpacho with three tiny cubes of salmon as a starter, stale, defrosted bread, a fillet of sea bream (perhaps also frozen?), and ice cream for dessert (a very small portion). This is far from being a refined and flavorful dish that stands out from the crowd. I won't be back.

04/09/2026: Impeccable service, pleasant terrace, and delicious, inviting dishes. Reasonable prices. An address to remember.

26/07/2026: We've been going there for over 10 years: never disappointed! On the contrary! We adore their shaded terrace (but in winter, the interior is also very pleasant). Their cuisine is wonderful; a guaranteed culinary journey; my taste buds always thank me for going! The service is ideal: attentive and discreet. The atmosphere lives up to everything else. A huge THANK YOU again to the team at Les Cèdres for the delightful evening we spent there! Oh, and don't forget to book!

06/09/2026: Great experience for their last weekend, thank you Marie and Didier!

09/08/2026: Friendly welcome. High-quality and beautifully presented meal. Wine served at the right temperature.

15/09/2026: We had a wonderful dinner outdoors. The food was excellent, especially the chicken supreme and the pork belly... absolutely delicious. Our only slight regret was the long wait; the charming lady who served us could have been assisted so we could have ordered dessert and cheese... but oh well! We had a great time.

06/09/2026: A particularly unpleasant and incomprehensible experience. We arrived at a nearly empty restaurant. The woman seated us at a table, without ever mentioning that ordering food was mandatory to stay. So, we sat down and waited for her to take our order. When she returned, we told her we simply wanted drinks. Only then did she tell us that wasn't possible; we had to order food. Then she ran off without another word. If this is the establishment's policy, why not announce it as soon as we were seated? It would have taken exactly ten seconds, and we could have simply turned around and left. But no: we were allowed to sit down, wait, and then we were refused service once we were finally seated. And the most shocking thing was the way she handled it. Instead of calmly explaining the situation, the woman rushed off with an extremely disdainful and unprofessional attitude. It was all the more incomprehensible given that the restaurant was empty. Turning away two customers who simply wanted drinks, without even bothering to properly inform them beforehand, frankly demonstrates a rather peculiar sense of hospitality. We simply came to enjoy a quiet moment. We left with the feeling that we had been a nuisance. A minimum of politeness, communication, and respect for the customer would have been more than enough.
