The story

Les Orfèvres, Amiens – Modern Cuisine by Chef Frédéric Barette | Michelin Recommended

A convivial address in the heart of Amiens

In the city centre of Amiens, just a short walk from the cathedral, Les Orfèvres offers a welcoming escape for those seeking modern cuisine with character. The restaurant, run by chef Frédéric Barette and his wife Pennie, who oversees the dining room, is built on a simple promise: generous, sincere food served in a relaxed atmosphere. The warm colours, neatly set wooden tables, and thoughtful spacing create an intimate, comfortable setting — a place where you can take your time and enjoy the meal.

A chef with a clear vision

Chef Frédéric Barette is an experienced cook who has worked in Michelin-starred houses and top-tier catering businesses. Today, he brings that expertise to his own restaurant in Amiens, crafting a cuisine that is both refined and flavour-driven. His approach is rooted in classical technique, lifted by modern touches, and always begins with carefully sourced ingredients. The result is dishes that are elegant yet straightforward — meant to be savoured without pretence.

An original wine list and more

To accompany the chef’s cooking, the wine list has been curated with a focus on originality. It features bottles that step off the beaten path, selected for their quality and audacity, and designed to create surprising pairings with the food. Beyond the dining room, Les Orfèvres also offers takeaway of the chef’s dishes, private catering for events at home, and gift boxes for those who want to share the experience. This commitment to quality and conviviality has earned the restaurant a place in the Michelin guide — a recognition that feels perfectly in line with the Barettes’ quiet ambition to simply cook well and welcome warmly.
