  1. A

    La Chocolaterie

    Revel in local life at this bar-cum-chocolate-shop overlooking the open-air flower market in place du Cygne. Its coloured macaroons – flavoured with orange, apricot, pistachio, peanut, pineapple and so – are to die for, as are its sweet homemade crêpes, brownies and tiny madeleine sponge cakes.

    Maison du Saumon et de la Truie Qui File

    Inhabiting Chartres’ most photographed half-timbered building, this medieval landmark cooks up a bit of everything, ranging from Polish stuffed cabbage rolls and Hungarian ghoulash to Alsatian sauerkraut and Moroccan tajines (€18.50). Kids get roast chicken and veg in their menu (€9).

    Le Serpente

    Its location bang-slap opposite the cathedral ensures that this atmospheric brasserie and salon de thé (tearoom) is always full. Cuisine is traditional, and its chef also constructs well-filled sandwiches (€3.90 to €6) and meal-sized salads (€12.50).

    Le Bistro de la Cathédrale

    Our favourite in the shadow of the cathedral, this stylish bistro/wine bar is the place for a long lazy lunch over a glass or three of wine. Tasty morsels to soak it up are chalked on the boards inside and out.
