Les Gamins

On our way to Paris, we decided to stop at this cozy French cuisine restaurant, Les Gamins. The place has a warm, inviting atmosphere and a concise one-page menu with well-crafted dishes. We opted for the weekend three-course menu. To start, we had orange-braised endives with miso celeriac cream and green salsa—beautifully balanced and full of flavor. The main course was a pork pluma cut with chorizo butter jus and mashed potatoes, rich and perfectly executed. We finished with an out-of-the-ordinary dessert: spice cake with caramelized pumpkin, muscovado siphon, and spice-cake ice cream—an excellent and memorable ending. The owners personally served our table and made sure we were well advised among the many wine options, which added a very personal touch to the experience. For me, this was a 5 out of 5 experience.

The food was nice, Champagne and red wine too warm, the plats were much too large, specially the iberian cochon. Had to leave the whole cotelette, ate already the big filet. Asked for a doggy bag and the answer was NO. Food waste at its best... ☹

Great lunch 😊. Sadly the plat du jour had run out but the a la carte options, while a bit limited, were delicious.

I who has been countless restaurants all over France and Europe I must say this one was one of the best I ever been. Truly a gem.

The entree was exceptional, the main dish was alright - the meat was overcooked and really tough in places. Place is charming and the staff are friendly.

Really fine food! The best I have had in Besancon!

We waited 15 minutes to receive the menu card, then 15 minutes to take the order and 40 minutes to receive the food. Not a Gaut Millot place at all. The restaurant was not even full .

Top notch, excellent food, fast and friendly service and good ambience. Looking forward to my next visit
