Michelin Restaurants in Orleans
L'Hibiscus
In a bustling pedestrian street, the façade is discreet. Venture inside for fresh ingredients, original recipes and modern cuisine, courtesy of Céline Lefebvre, a chef with a proven track record. No à la carte, but a short set menu changing regularly abreast of the seasons and availability. Reasonable prices.

Le Lièvre Gourmand
The chef of this establishment on the banks of the Loire trained with the Meilleur family at La Bouitte, and Au Rendez-vous des Pêcheurs, in Blois. Tristan Robreau chooses his suppliers carefully, and delivers fusion cuisine inspired by his travels in Asia. It has a well-formed culinary identity, for example, dried trout soba, Thai garlic; turbot cardamom, red endive. Terrific quality ingredients, confident technique and arresting flavours. This is balanced cuisine that continues to deliver on its promise: Le Lièvre Gourmand is still the best restaurant in town.

Eugène
If you are passing through the Loiret, département, this cosy establishment is recommended for chef Alain Gérard's subtle seasonal cuisine: his dishes are meticulous, tasty and fine, and he composes his mouth-watering surprise set menus as the inspiration takes him.

Gric
Marie Gricourt's career has already taken her to the heights of Christophe Hay's La Table d'à Côté, where she was head chef. She has since opened her own restaurant, a convivial place in keeping with her personality. In this restaurant not far from the banks of the River Loire, the chef and her mainly female team (who provide service with a smile) put a new twist on bistro-style cuisine, simply and precisely: a surf and turf starter with scallops cradled in a sweet potato, bacon and prune purée; conchiglioni stuffed with beef chuck and porcini; and for dessert a delicious floating island with citrus fruit, honey and pollen.

La Dariole
In the heart of the old town and not far from the cathedral, this 15C half-timbered house showcases an easy alliance of old stonework and cosy touches. The chef, who even trained here when he was learning his trade, hits the mark with delicious cuisine that is in tune with the times. The seasonal menu changes regularly and features appealingly tasty dishes such as pork chop with potatoes and a caper jus.
