  1. L'Épicurieux

    Modern French

    Christophe Pirotais, once a Top Chef contestant, now runs this warm bistro on the main square of Illies with his partner, and the ambition in the cooking is easy to miss until it isn't. The Michelin Bib Gourmand goes to the surprise menu format, where modern French technique does quiet, confident things. A rear patio opens when the weather cooperates. The welcome is the kind that makes a village bistro feel like it was always your local.

    One honor, in evidence:

    The record strongest first
