La Faisanderie

Arras


In a superb vaulted brick cellar, this formal restaurant serves a range of classical dishes prepared with carefully selected ingredients: oysters naturelles, Pernod-flambéed prawns, beef fillet with morel sauce or turbot with seared endives and beer sauce. The wine list is outstanding.
