Gourmet products local specialties and wines Auxerre

Also present in Sens, Olivier Vidal, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, offers us here something to delight our taste buds. We can enjoy chocolates with orange or lemon peel. We appreciate the almond/hazelnut shortbread. We would die for the caramel coulis and the different spreads. And what can we say about the excellent pastries whose extreme finesse and great creativity have no equivalent in Auxerre, without forgetting the very tasty home-made ice creams. In summer, outside the store, the queue can be long to get one!

One of the most popular addresses in Auxerre! The Boucherie de Bourgogne and its 100% French meats is also an excellent creamery and cheese shop, as well as a fine delicatessen. There is also a delicatessen department with dishes that change every day. As for the delicatessen, many local products are offered. And if the quality always aims at excellence, the quality/price ratio remains up to the mark. As for the welcome, it is perfect. In short, we warmly recommend it.

This bakery is one of the excellent addresses in Auxerre. Many kinds of breads await you, but also pastries and cakes of great quality. We are particularly fond of the various tiramisùs served in glasses, and for the macaroons, the chocolates and other sweets. On the savory side, the choice is wide, but you can count on the classic sandwiches, croques, salads and other breads. As for the gougères, we warmly recommend them! You can even have lunch on the spot, in the small restaurant area.

For more than 20 years, this family business has been offering a vast choice of wines and spirits. Marc Ragaine was elected best independent wine merchant in the world. He was a sommelier at the Tour d'Argent in Paris, but also^3rd best young sommelier in France and best young sommelier in Paris. He will be able to advise you and adapt to what suits you among his 700 references, for all budgets. In addition, there is a judicious choice of subtle nectars, and many gift ideas. An excellent address that we warmly recommend.

If you pass by the shopping street "rue du Temple" and you see a queue in front of a small bakery, nothing is wrong: this is where you will certainly find the best breads in the city. And not only... Viennese pastries, tarts and pastries, sandwiches and other savory delights are just as excellent. Above all, when you enter here, you will discover the sweets concocted by Alexis Peuzin. A baker who, in January 2023, was awarded the Coupe de France de boulangerie at the SIRHA gastronomic show in Lyon!

If the brand is national, no Comptoir des Vignes is the same, as the personality of its wine merchant has a lot to do with the offer. Ex-sommelier, the sympathetic Jérôme will know perfectly how to advise you among the multitude of references sold here: wines and champagnes, but also whiskies and rums from all over the world, cognacs and armagnacs, beers, waters, fruit juices and other artisanal syrups... In the delicatessen section, local sweets will inevitably attract your attention, while a wide selection of coffees and teas is also available.

Under the Clock Tower, you will find there the best coffees and teas (Mariage Frères, Le Palais des Thés), as well as a wide selection of products made in Burgundy. From the Terrine of Duck Liver with Prunes by the butcher Denis Paillot (based in Noyers-sur-Serein) to the Croquets de Saint-Bris-le-Vineux designed by the baker David Paris, as well as Burgundy wafers (made in Dijon) or Clunissois vinegars... there's a huge choice! Not to mention the nice choice of cups, teapots and other gift ideas. A real favourite!

Thomas Bouriquet proposes, in this store located near the quays of the Yonne, all the great classics as well as some beautiful discoveries (regional, but not only!). Especially, in the middle of chaource, epoisses and other brillat-savarin, home-made creations are also present. Don't hesitate to taste the "Tonnerre", a cheese rubbed with ratafia. Or the cow's cheese matured in Chablis. Note that Les Fromages de Thomas are also present on many markets in Yonne and Côte-d'Or. See their Facebook page or their website.

For a long time, this emblematic site in the pedestrian district remained vacant. Now it's coming back to life, thanks to the Galopin team, who have just opened this friendly café and relocated their delicatessen there. Don't hesitate to drop in. You'll discover a wide range of products from small-scale producers. Local, but not only. Above all, take the opportunity to have a drink and taste the house specialty: the guédille, a sandwich of North American origin made with hot dog bread. Like the Lobster Roll, made with lobster. Delicious!

Well-known in the region, "Le Migéen" (which brings life to the village of Migé, near Irancy) has another fine address, right in the center of Auxerre. Takeaway dishes, of course, but also the possibility of nibbling on the premises. The food is as tasty as ever, and reasonably priced. There's also a fine delicatessen section and excellent vintages from winegrower Houblin, also from Auxerre. Just a stone's throw from the Temple shopping street, this is an establishment we warmly recommend.

Created in 2012 in Joux-la-Ville, the Biscuiterie de Bourgogne (which also has a store in Vézelay, and since a few months in Avallon) has just set up store in the heart of Auxerre, opposite the statue of Cadet-Roussel. Discover the famous home-made financiers, but also meringues, macaroons and other sweets from the Chopard chocolate factory and the Tour des Terroirs brand which offers local products. And if you are fond of these products, you should know that an online store will allow you to order at a distance all year long!

At the end of 2022, Karine and Gilles Hauth opened La Pateasserie in place of Pâtisserie Bertrand, which had stood here, a stone's throw from the Horloge tower, for 33 years. No spelling mistake, just a play on words to point out the existence - on the second floor - of a cosy little tearoom where you can take a break from your city tour. Just long enough to savour one of the excellent home-made pastries, macaroons or chocolates on offer in this delightful establishment. Or even treat yourself to a Sunday morning brunch.

This store installed at the foot of the Horloge tower, between the tourist office and the statue of Marie Noël, proposes to consume just what we need and not more! Zero waste, it is in bulk that you will find organic (and often local) fruits and vegetables, but also a lot of other food products as well as cleaning or body hygiene products. Eco-responsible, then. And conviviality, since a small tea room awaits you on the first floor, as well as a few tables in front of the store on nice days.

Ideally located on avenue Charles-de-Gaulle, a few hundred meters from downtown Auxerre, this warm and welcoming bakery-pastry shop offers appetizing products, with a predilection for special breads, such as the one with cheese and bacon or the one with nuts. Let's not forget the wide variety of sandwiches, each more tasty than the next. Finally, don't leave without tasting the excellent homemade gougères. Note that a second store is present in Auxerre, located at 10 voie Romaine.

Chef Éric Gallet opened this establishment just a stone's throw from his restaurant Le Bourgogne, and offers a catering service with top-of-the-range takeaway meals (individual or family portions) as well as cooking classes. For the latter, the dates and times can be consulted on the establishment's website, with different themes according to the season. Of course, each participant leaves with the meal and his or her own recipe. An excellent address.

In addition to a rich selection of wines and spirits, you'll be able to take advantage (at the foot of the Tour de l'Horloge) of numerous regional products. These include Fallet mustards, Morvan honeys, Maison Marc gherkins and Festins de Bourgogne terrines. Not to mention the many gift ideas on offer (gourmet gift sets, wine-related accessories, etc.). What's more, when the weather's fine, the house has a terrace for a drink, just behind it, on the Place du Maréchal Leclerc. In short, this beautiful address will delight the most epicurean among us!

Bar and cellar in one, here you have everything you need to taste before you buy! There's a vast choice of beers, wines, rums and whiskies. From Burgundy, France and Navarre! At the bar, you're sure to nibble on local cheeses and charcuterie to accompany a Clamecy beer or an Irancy red. On the entertainment front, V & B regularly organizes themed events and concerts. Very popular for afterworks. Only one regret, on the cellar side: prices are a little high and there's not enough choice of entry-level wines..

A pretty shop in front of the Saint-Etienne cathedral, in a medieval house. You will find many wines from the region (more than 50 references), but also a lot of local products! Regional sweets and other specialities such as pâtés, terrines, biscuits, jams, and the famous Monin syrups or the tasty Fayot mustard. Of course, everything here comes from small, well-known producers, with lots of gift ideas for gourmets!

Nowadays, more than ever, we eat locally and in season. And we favor short circuits. This is the very spirit in which Le Jardin de Laborde was conceived. What better way to find out where the salad comes from than to come and pick it yourself? Nothing could be fresher or more fun for children and adults! For the gourmets, the store is also full of local products: cheeses, poultry, yoghurts from the farm next door... Le Petit Futé highly recommends this address, just a stone's throw from Auxerre, and which refocuses us on the essential.

Xavier Julien has always been passionate about his estate and one day wanted to create it. After a BTS in Viticulture and Oenology, he planted his first vines in 1997 in Auxerre-Vaux (in a place called "la Côte d'Or"). Now at the head of 4.7 hectares (in Auxerre and Chablisien), he is today the only independent winegrower in Auxerre. His estate, which takes its name from an old fortified tower in the town, offers chardonnay and pinot noir, including a burgundy côtes-d'auxerre "Terroir de Vaux" and a chablis Premier cru "Les Fourneaux".
