The partner's word

Épicéa is an author-driven modern gastronomic restaurant in the centre of Besançon, founded and run by chefs from Franche-Comté with nearly a decade of experience in haute gastronomy, Michelin-starred kitchens and stations in Jura, Paris, Savoie, Haute‑Savoie, Norway, Haut‑Doubs and Lille. The kitchen follows a nature-forward approach: chefs present dishes at table, explain their conception and share anecdotes to guide the tasting. Épicéa emphasises strong local sourcing and durable partnerships with nearby producers, breeders, pickers and artisans, operates explicit eco-responsible measures to reduce waste and limit plastic, paper, cardboard, water and energy, and has been recognised by the Michelin Guide (Selected) for its modern author cuisine and immersive dining experiences. Housed in a listed 16th-century stone building near the quays, the dining room features exposed stone walls, a pared-back natural décor and an open kitchen that creates a contemporary atmosphere. Épicéa offers a modern cuisine d'auteur combining creative, incisive and comforting flavours, with a focus on foraged ingredients, fermentation and preservation techniques and a strong vegetal component alongside animal produce. Camille Loridat and Bastian Loridat are the chefs. Specialties include a Menu Initiation (3-course experience), a Menu Immersion (5-course tasting), a Fromage travaillé supplement and custom accords mets et boissons with or without alcohol.
