Ail des Ours

This pleasant, trendy restaurant close to the cathedral is run by young chef Stéphane Bruyer. In a renovated dining space decorated in natural tones (with lots of plants), he serves simple, seasonal cuisine, using market produce to devise a single set menu (with a choice of fish or meat). This is a very popular spot in Amiens... and it's easy to see why.

Les Orfèvres

Bang in the middle of town, this restaurant sports a modern, pared-down, workshop interior and a friendly vibe. The menu is no stranger to the classics, albeit with the odd more modern touch. The chef avows a weakness for fish, illustrated by his superlative low-temperature loin of cod, honey-flavoured fermented milk, leeks and celery.

Hyacinthe

Previously active in the humanitarian sector, this chef found a new calling while being trained by mentors such as Cyril Lignac and Hélène Darroze. Remaining true to his ethos here in his vintage restaurant, he is mindful of the relationship between his cooking, nature and people, sourcing vegetables from the Hortillonnages (cultivated islets in Amiens), saltmarsh lamb from the Baie de Somme estuary, line-caught fish from the Côte d'Opale etc. Filet mignon pie, vegetable pickles or monkfish, tomato, aubergine and sea herbs: his – at times creative – dishes draw on various preparation techniques, good ingredients and flavours.
