Les Orfèvres
A Michelin-listed restaurant beside the cathedral, where chef Frédéric Barret reimagines French classics with refined creativity. It is Amiens's flagship fine-dining table.
Located at 14 Rue des Orfèvres in central Amiens, a two to three minute walk from the cathedral. It is listed in the Michelin Guide, and local guides name it among the city's best restaurants. The interior is modern and colorful, with a mural by a local artist at the entrance. Chef Frédéric Barret adds creative touches to French classics. Haddock wontons with fish-skin powder and Timut pepper, and crispy veal sweetbreads with mustard sabayon, are both singled out by Michelin. Set menus start at about €49, which is high for Amiens. The restaurant is open Wednesday to Saturday for lunch and dinner, and Sunday for lunch only. It is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Seating is limited, so book ahead.
