La Parenthèse

For excellent traditional French cuisine with a contemporary twist, seek out this discreet restaurant in the heart of Orléans. Located in a half-timbered house on picturesque place du Châtelet, the interiors feature minimalistic, modern decor. The juxtaposition of the old and new is further explored in chef David Sterne’s regularly changing seasonal menu which might combine roasted cod with French saffron emulsion or pork confit with local Saint-Maure goat cheese and Chinon wine sauce. Reservations recommended.
