There are plenty of lively and inexpensive restaurants, cafA©s and bars by the river near place Battant, particularly along the little streets running parallel to the river.
Brasserie du Commerce
, 31 rue des Granges, has rather grand decor and ambience, and
Brasserie du Palais Granvelle
, in a lovely shady park next door to the Palais Granvelle, is the best place for breakfast and coffee hits. Two good places for a substantial
meal
are the century-old
Restaurant au Petit Polonais
, 81 rue des Granges (tel 03.81.81.23.67; closed Sat evening & Sun; menus from 64F/a?¬9.76), which serves regional food, and, for lunch, the superb
Le CafA©-CafA©
, 5bis rue Luc Breton (tel 03.81.81.15.24; Mon-Sat lunch only;
plats
from 59F/a?¬8.99).
The two biggest
cultural events
of the year in BesanA§on are
Jazz en Franche-ComtA©
, which takes place in June and July, and an international young conductors' competition in the first two weeks of September. Other useful information
