Europe / France / Chartres / Best Restaurants

Le 21

This quaint little bistro opposite the cathedral has a lot going for it: friendly owners and simple, honest French cuisine, like a starter of egg mayonnaise, a main course of steak in shallot sauce with baby potatoes and roasted pear with biscuit and caramel crumble dessert. Sweet tooth? Opt for the café gourmand, a coffee served with a selection of little dessert portions that might include panna cotta, chocolate mousse, and mille-feuille. The dining room, outfitted in old wood paneling, is pleasantly low-key; ask for a spot by the window to admire the cathedral’s façade as you dine.
