Michelin Restaurants in Bourg-en-Bresse
Scratch Restaurant
Ardent slow-food disciples, Estelle and Andréas Baehr enthusiastically showcase premium, fresh, organic, local ingredients and shine the spotlight on producers, as well as seeking to share their culinary vision thanks to the chatty lady of the house. Intelligently devised and flawlessly crafted, the lunch and dinner surprise menus are a masterclass of hunger obliterating perfection, illustrated by grilled white and green asparagus, served with a delicate citrus-flavoured cream further enhanced by egg yolk, confit of black garlic and puffed buckwheat. Friendly casual welcome and service. Bookings essential.

L'Auberge Bressane
A firm favourite: justice is done to regional specialities (Bresse chicken, frogs' legs, crayfish and its legendary pike quenelles) and the wine list is packed with vintage bottles. Terrace with a view onto the church of the Royal Monastery of Brou.

Mets et Vins
This is the kingdom of Stéphane Prévalet, a champion of local produce and home-made fare who enjoys pushing traditional culinary boundaries. Examples include chicory and blue cheese upside-down pie or Dombes duckling with Bugey blackcurrant. A minimalist interior decorated with birch trunks sets the scene in this trendy establishment.

Place Bernard
In the hands of Georges Blanc, this handsome 1900 edifice is home to a splendid brasserie adorned with a fresco of the Blanc clan. The culinary score showcases a regional line-up of classics: Bresse poultry in cream, frog’s legs in garlic and parsley and traditional Nantua-style quenelle of pike. Lovely conservatory-cum-patio.

Racines
This family-run establishment, which has had a contemporary makeover, affords relaxing views over the surrounding grounds. Chef David Lachavannes continues to deliver tasty and coherent cuisine that makes the most of ties with local producers. The market-fresh "Menu du Marché" served on weekdays is a bargain; the weekend menus are more ambitious. A real gem.
