Les Tables d'antan

We stopped by this cosy restaurant for dinner during our recent stay in Besançon. What a delight. The Gratin Comtois was exceptionally good. Great service, food and amazing value. A local treasure!!

Super nice place in the pedestrian zone of Besançon, big variety of yummy gratins and delicious 'apple crumbles' for dessert. Pleasant service - even in English (spoken and English menu).

Really good local foods with sausages and cheeses mixed into very appealing dishes. they also offer very good local accompanying wines to elevate the dinner experience. Crumble dishes seem to be their specialty, but in the savoury dishes as well as in the deserts. Tip: just enjoying one of their excellent deserts in the afternoon is a time good spent in full enjoyment!

We first ate here 7 years ago and loved it then. Passing through France on our way home, we came to Besançon specifically to eat here again and it didn’t disappoint. All the food is amazing but the Bourgeon dessert remains a highlight - tastes as good now as it did 7 years ago. Friendly, patient staff and the atmosphere is always fun. We look forward to eating here again next time we’re in France.

Lovely authentic Franche-Comtois food, with good service, reasonable prices, and very popular.

It's a nice restaurant, cozy and good to spend the night. I think it's a little bit pricey for the food I ordered. My steak with cheese sauce, steak was a little bit overdone and it was 20 euros plus the wine I ordered. It comes with bread and fries, which are ok but not great; bread is ok too. Service is really good, very friendly.

It's a nice location, reasonable prices. The cuisine was rather dissapointing. Its never a good sign when the food arrives 5 minutes after ordering. Which was reflected in the quality of the food.The duc confit crumble was very dry. The gratin classic on the other hand was unreasonably salty. We were also surprised the waiters did not ask us if we enjoyed our meal. Almost as if they knew. The regional product platter was fine.

amazing gratins! i tried one of the classics and it was really good. the portions are big. please don’t experiment with dishes other than gratins as they are not as good as gratins.
