Le Pré aux Clercs
In an 18th-century house across from the Palais des Ducs, this smart restaurant, dressed in flashy red and gray, is owned by Georges Blanc, who has a small chain of upmarket hotel-restaurants in the region. Its menu fuses classic Burgundian ingredients with those from Arizona, the Caiman Islands and Thailand with surprisingly good results. If you’re into steak, try the juicy Montbeliard bavette served Crying Tiger style. Like fish? The hake in a hazelnut and citrus crust is a must. In summertime, make sure you book a table outside on the pedestrianized crescent with its privileged view over the magnificent Palais des Duc.
