A
L'Étude
Hugely popular with local cognoscenti, this eatery is a quintessentially French mixture of the intellectual (the walls are lined with books) and the gastronomic (French, of course) - a coming together of the mind and the stomach, if you will. There's live music (jazz, chansons, Roma - the website has the schedule) from about 20:00 on Friday and Saturday (except in July and August; reservations recommended).

Canada'Venture
So you're tired of French food, eh? How about brochettes de bison grillées (grilled bison brochettes) washed down with a Canadian beer, eh? At this themed eatery, the cuisine, like the décor - snow shoes, a wooden canoe, stuffed racoons and even a cigar store Indian straight out of 'Seinfeld' - are the Canadophilic owners' heartfelt, if cringe-inducing, homage to the Great White North.

El Theatris
Serves traditional French cuisine with 'echoes from ailleurs' (elsewhere). The neoclassical décor mirrors the architecture outside. The candles are calming and so is the music, which ranges from Glenn Miller to light opera.

Crêperie Le Chouchen
Gussied up like a Breton village, this restaurant - named after Breton honey wine - is the best place in town for sweet and savoury crêpes washed down with cidre (cider) or a beer from Brittany. Salads are also available.

Restaurant Thierry
Walking into this spice-scented, lantern-lit restaurant is like stepping into the glammest of Marrakchi riads. An open fire crackles in the salon, where an aperitif works up an appetite for Asian- and Moroccan-inflected dishes, such as delicate prawn nems (spring rolls), seafood tagines and beautifully cooked sole with tempura. Often full, so call ahead if possible.

La Baraka
Fancy a change? This unassuming North African place rustles up just-right tagines, meltingly tender lamb and couscous properly infused with saffron.

Pâtisserie Claude Bourguignon
Sticky éclairs, traditional Quiche Lorraine (with smoked bacon, no cheese) and tarte aux mirabelles (sweet plum tart)…wave bye-bye to the waistline and bonjour to happiness at this patisserie–tea room.

Maire
This smart riverside restaurant serves up moreish views of the cathedral from its window tables and veranda. With 500 bottles in the cellar, there’s bound to be a wine that goes well with market-fresh dishes such as slow-cooked lamb and grilled pike-perch with spiced mirabelles.

Le Magasin aux Vivres
Conjurer of textures and seasonal flavours, Michelin-starred chef Christophe Dufossé makes creative use of local produce. Moselle wines work well with specialities like plump scallops sliding into a Lorraine beer emulsion and rack of Limousin lamb in spicy jus. Reservations are recommended.

La Voile Blanche
Art on a plate is the aim at Centre Pompidou-Metz’ kaleidoscope-inspired restaurant, designed by architects Patrick Jouin and Sanjit Manku. The menu is fresh and seasonal – think summery Camargue rice with red mullet and succulent Charolais beef.

La Crêperie
You can almost smell the briny Atlantic in this eccentric Breton crêperie, stuffed with nautical knick-knacks. Go sweet with crêpes or savoury with galettes topped with fromage or escargot. Hosts live Breton music once a week.
