Rue Champeaux is packed with places to
eat
: crA?pes are on offer at
CrA?perie la Tourelle
, the half-timbered building at no. 9, with its own tiny tower and views of the church of St-Jean. Troyes' top restaurant is
Le Valentino
, 11 cour de la Rencontre (tel 03.25.73.14.14; closed Sat lunch, Mon & three weeks in Aug & Sept; menus from 110F/a?Ĵ16.77), whose inventive chef combines different flavours from all over the world, while a good place to try the regional speciality of
andouillette
is the
Cheval de 3
at 31 rue de la CitAİ (tel 03.25.80.58.23; closed in the evening on Tues, Wed & Sun). For brasserie food, try the
HA?tel du ThAİA?tre
's brasserie (closed Sun evening; menus from 68F/a?Ĵ10.37).
Le CafAİ du MusAİe
, 59 rue de la CitAİ, near the cathedral, has a decent upstairs restaurant (closed Sun & Mon evening) and a cool contemporary
bar
downstairs (Mon-Sat until 3am), with a wide range of beers.
Le Tricasse
, 2 rue Charbonnet, is a perennially popular bar, with tables and the occasional live band; a few more bars are on nearby narrow rue Paillot-de-Montabert, including the tiny and consistently packed-out
Bar des Bougnets des Pouilles
.
Self-caterers should head for the MarchAİ les Halles, a daily covered
market
on the corner of rue GAİnAİral-de-Gaulle and rue de la RAİpublique, close to the HA?tel de Ville. Vegetarians and the health-conscious will think they're in heaven at CoopAİrative Hermes, 39 rue GAİnAİral-Saussier, a surprisingly good - for France - wholesale/healthfood store.
