Anecdote A 2015 opening from Chef Alexander Gauthier which reminds us why the world raved about French cooking in the early 1980’s, with recipes from his Michelin-starred father Roland, brought to you in a contemporary setting.
For a fabulous culinary trip down memory lane.

Le Bistronome Chef Francois likes adding the Asian touch to classic bistro food But for our money, this is where you’ll sink your teeth into the best steak in Montreuil.

Le Caveau A warm welcome awaits from the jovial patron Francois with over 50 varieties of personally chosen wine by the glass. He’s a wine buff so enjoy! Perfect for an aperitif or two on his terrace, try nibbling away at his famous flammeküeche if the kitchen is open.

Le Clos We love lunch or early evening drinks on this neighbouring terrace, watching the world go by. Many British visitors turn their noses up at offal however this is the best place to indulge a well-thought-out menu. Can’t face it? Go for the Turbot, and say La Destination Gastronomique recommended you!

Le Douglas If you are in need of a thirst-quenching beer and nothing else will do. This little cafe has a stunning selection of over 50 beers as well as a couple of reasonable wines. Regular live music adds to a friendly ambiance, or simply park yourselves on the terrace and watch the town stroll by. Open late!

La Grenouillère A 15-minute stroll down to the ancient village of La Madelaine-sous-Montreuil brings you to this award-winning restaurant. In 2016, Alexander Gauthier was recognised as the best chef in France by the prestigious Gault et Millau Guide, so this is cooking to get you excited. A celebration, a birthday or any special occasion, really any excuse.
Do feel free to ask us as we rarely have the wherewithal to afford it!

Le Patio Anne and Olivier preside over this little gem with a lovely walled garden at the back. Sadly they no longer open for lunch apart from Sunday and we don’t want to say too much as we might lose our weekly table!

Le Clan Des Elfes Nestled in the Rue de Clape en Bas, this is an authentic creperie, not some multi-national franchise. Low ceilings, proper fireplaces and, in the summer, great musical entertainment in the street outside at weekends.

Salon Rodiere ‘Chef-patisseur’ Mathieu serves up wonderful delicious buttery croissants and continues to provide for the hungry mouths of Montreuil throughout the day. Wonderful burgers and salads from lunchtime onwards and a mouth-watering selection of cakes throughout the day. Yummm

Auberge du Vieux Logis We have on occasion spent rather too much time debating whether Maigret, Bruno Cremer or Michael Gambon would feel most at home in this quaint little restaurant in La Madelelaine. Called to investigate some scandalous crime in the locale, we felt the inspector would soon be distracted between by the casoulet, rognons, or, for our money, the best-cooked sole meunière in the area.

A gentle 15-minute stroll down from the citadel. Allow 20 for the return.
Piccolino It’s rare to find such quality pizzas (including vegetarian options) outside of Italy in a family-friendly restaurant. Try their organic Italian wines, they won’t disappoint. Friendly service. Open late.

Les Remparts If you want to know where the locals go for a well-thought-out menu, then the look no further than Les Remparts. Cheffe Camille gives a modern twist to regional dishes. Excellent value prix fixe menu at lunch with tables that spill out on to a sun-drenched terrace in warmer months.
