Michelin Restaurants in Saintes
L'IØDE
A butcher's son born on the Île d'Oléron, chef Benjamin Girard has chosen to focus on fish and seafood. In this narrow modern dining space done out in white and blue hues, the delicious dishes with creative touches keep on coming: mackerel half-cooked with a blowtorch, grilled watermelon and tomato water; halibut with a langoustine foam and blackberries; black forest gateau-style "explosive cherry" dessert. Eater-friendly prices and an enticing wine list with plenty of organic options.

Le Parvis
This picturesque house on the banks of the Charente in downtown Saintes is where Pascal Yenk rustles up mouth - watering regional dishes using ingredients fresh from the market. Everything is homemade, including the sauces, to the delight of diners’ taste buds. Sheltered terrace in fine weather.

Saveurs de l'Abbaye
A stone’s throw from the Abbaye aux Dames, now a concert venue, this stripped - back restaurant serves fresh, light, spontaneous food with a distinct preference for fine regional produce from the market, to which chef Vincent Coiquaud, basket in hand, goes daily. Plain, pleasant rooms for overnight stays.

La Table du Relais du Bois Saint-Georges
Fall under the spell of this restaurant housed in an old farmhouse, where the chef has a penchant for beautiful seasonal ingredients (sourced from local producers or the aromatic plant garden located in the grounds). Drink in the view of the terrace, fountain and small lake through the bay windows, as you savour calf sweetbread, spatchcock, elderberry – the soft juicy meat makes for a taste sensation!

Le Dallaison
The beautiful exterior of this 18C manor house set in grounds gives little away. Inside, the 21C makes itself felt throughout the various dining nooks: designer furniture, original lights, white walls, wine cabinets. A place like this can only inspire Jérôme Dallet, a chef who has worked with Emmanuel Renaut (Megève) and Anne-Sophie Pic (Valence). Local produce is given pride of place (mogette beans, snails, Confolens lamb…) and the chef uses it to create wonderfully indulgent compositions. In fine weather, you can enjoy the terrace surrounded by greenery.

Chef Michael Durkin is a tattooed Englishman and rugby fan who has worked in some of the best restaurants in the world. He whips up creative modern bistro cuisine, for example seared cod, celeriac and capers – a well-presented and harmonious dish. Not only is the four-course set lunch menu unbeatable value, the small terrace is a real draw in fine weather.
