Le Moine Gourmand

Troyes


It isn't in the prettiest part of town, but stick with this 'greedy monk' as he knows a thing or two about food. The vibe is welcoming in this modern-day bistro, which uses market-fresh veg, fish and meat in appetising dishes from classic andouillette de Troyes (coarse-grained tripe sausage) to duck breast in fig sauce.
