The best European food in France, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Erre comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Chassy and Lyon.

Rank 1. Erre
Modern European
A former hunting lodge on a golf estate in deepest Burgundy, converted into a fine dining restaurant with vaulted ceilings, white linens, and views across the green. The chef, who trained in Paris and Copenhagen, runs a surprise tasting menu that riffs on Southern produce through Northern technique: Camargue oysters, smørbrød ideas, fermented fruit. It holds a Michelin star, and the pastry chef handles desserts and the room with equal composure.

Rank 2. Leptine
European
A long corridor washed in red light, a thumping sound system, and a counter facing the open kitchen set the mood before anything arrives from it. This creative small-plates spot in Lyon's first arrondissement takes its name from the satiety hormone, which doubles as a promise. The chef moves freely between French technique, dim sum, fermented flavors, and Japanese seasoning, and the team talks you through all of it with evident enthusiasm. Natural wines, good pours by the glass.
