Le Saint Pierre - Besançon

The ambience and decor was very nice. We ordered the Apicius menu. The duck foie gras I must say was absolutely delicious! It was amazing and our favorite course by a long shot. The following courses were "ok". The lobster lasagne was interesting but the rest were nothing special or unique. But it's a good place in terms of eating a decent pleasant meal. I give it 3-4 stars.

We were recommended this restaurant having driven 6 hours South-well what a fantastic place!!We arrived at 7.02 pm-just after they had opened-and with my faltering French managed to get a table.The host/maîtres D/owner partner, was great-he had a fantastic sense of humour and the service we received was exemplary.Now to go onto the food-they specialise in Fish and what a great selection both in terms of choice and value price. The food was beautifully cooked and presented well-the portion sizes were great-and while we did not have to suffer the usual Michelin "BS"-the quality of the cuisine was excellent. To finish it off, the prices were really good and we left vowing to return. We found this on our "following the trail of Raymond Blanc-The Hungry Chef" trip and can honestly say it is " A MUST VISIT".Bon apetit

My second visit to Le Saint Pierre, in the past 2 years. Albeit we arrived a little early, we were shown to our table and provided with the menu & wine list.We opted for a fixed price menu @ €75 a head, with glasses of a very nice champagne.Food was excellent, 5 courses including an excellent cheese selection. Despite the fixed nature of the menu, the proprietor was happy to make substitutions for my partner.A popular restaurant, with many returning customers who were well known to the proprietor. I note that the proprietor has had some less than positive reviews on here, however, like anything in life, you get out what you put in. With a little effort, this gentleman became the perfect host. (Helps if your partner is also comtois) I also noted in his dealing with another table that he was more than accommodating in his recommendations for their meal. Suggesting a specific menu in a particular price range.On the whole I had a great meal, in a wonderful location & I look forward to visiting again, next time I am in the area.

My traveling companion and I enjoyed a meal here at the recommendationof our hotel. We were lucky that the restaurant was open on a Monday night in that most were closed. We selected the Prixe Fixe "Marche" as the best value and it turned out to be a winner. From the moment we sat down, we were impressed with the attentive service and the friendliness of the owner and his assistant. The fish served as the main attraction was fresh and great tasting. The white wine complimented the dish but could stand to be a little more Chardonnay like for our tastes. Altogether, a most pleasant meal, unhurried and great tasting!

A friend recommended this place to me. I had nice seafood and the restaurant is nicely decorated. I liked the quiet and cosy atmosphere at the end of a cold autumn day.
