Prettily set above Essoyes, on the D67, Restaurant Les Demoiselles has broad views of the surrounding countryside and pairs bang-on-the-money regional dishes with local wines and Champagnes. The menu makes the best of seasonal produce in dishes like pan-fried scallops with endives and veal sweetbreads with morel mushrooms.
