The story
In the heart of Auxerre, on the rue du 24-Août, Le Noyo brings a precise, contemporary approach to French dining. The restaurant, helmed by Francois Liebaert, has earned a spot in the Michelin guide, a recognition that speaks to the quality and intention behind each plate.
The dining room is designed for comfort and focus: air conditioning keeps the space pleasant year-round, and free Wi-Fi is available for guests. The atmosphere leans toward the intimate, with the kitchen’s work clearly taking center stage. Private events can also be hosted here, adding flexibility for special occasions.
The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting a modern cuisine that respects tradition while looking forward. Diners can choose from a set menu or an à la carte suggestion, both available as PDFs on the restaurant’s site. The few plates shown in the gallery hint at careful composition — clean lines, vibrant colors, and an emphasis on produce.
Le Noyo is open for lunch and dinner, with the kitchen serving from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM and again from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Thursday through Sunday. The restaurant closes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, so planning ahead is wise. Reservations can be made online or by phone.
For those exploring Burgundy’s wine country, Le Noyo offers a stop that is both grounded and ambitious — a place where modern cuisine meets the quiet confidence of a chef who knows his craft.
