Michelin Restaurants in Chartres
Terra
A short walk from the city centre, in the suburbs of Chartres, the husband-and-wife team behind Terra (he is an Italian chef and she is a South African pastry chef) extend an invitation to join them on a culinary journey. The excellent and quintessentially Italian cuisine is served in a friendly atmosphere – the fiorentina-style cannelloni stuffed with veal and spinach and the house parmesan sauce is delicious!

Le Georges
Le Grand Monarque, which is home to Le Georges, has stood the test of time – the hotel’s first mention in the Michelin Guide dates back to 1900! This elegantly appointed establishment is ideally located between Paris and the Loire at a crossroads between the regions of western France. Thomas Parnaud is consistently and devotedly pursuing his mission of shining the spotlight on local producers who respect the environment whilst using a top-to-tail ethos. Notable dishes include gambas from the Loire region with Sologne caviar or a flaky pastry pie of mallard duck with foie gras. It would be a crime to miss his Grand Marnier soufflé, a flawlessly crafted classic that still graces the menu. The impeccably curated wine cellar boasts some 3,000 vintages with a spotlight on Val de Loire wines. Simpler, seasonal fare in the pleasant brasserie patio. The hotel’s charming guestrooms provide the icing on the cake!

Bistrot Racines
Eugène Viollet-le-Duc found Chartres's Gothic cathedral to be the most beautiful in France. The owner of Le Grand Monarque Hotel had the inspired idea of opening this friendly bistro and wine bar with a terrace overlooking the imposing edifice. Locals, pilgrims and tourists dig into good traditional fare that showcases local farmers and market gardeners: pâté en croûte; veal belly, coffee reduction and fluffy dauphine potatoes; floating island served with a ladle, a French childhood classic. Savvy choice of wines from small-scale winegrowers.

Le Moulin de Ponceau
This restaurant, well known to the people of Chartres, taken over by hotel industry pros, turns out to be a nice surprise. In an alluring 16C building located in the historic heart of town and on the banks of the Eure, the chef prepares seasonal, deft and colourful cuisine in keeping with a responsible ethos. Attentive service, terrace in a bucolic setting.
