Picardy's Cuisine
Feast on Authentic French FlavoursPicardy is a fabulous gastronomic destination on many levels, from Michelin-starred restaurants and innovative chefs to top-notch regional produce – the fruits of fertile rolling countryside.
A short hop from the Channel ports and within easy reach of the UK, Picardy in northern France is a perfect foodie destination. Whether you want to try hearty local specialities or sample refined gourmet dining – or some of both – this region is second to none when it comes to culinary discoveries. Terroir or ‘land’ is the watchword: Picardy’s rolling landscapes of lush green fields dotted with market gardens are ideal for crops including wheat, carrots, endives, watercress, rhubarb and apples, as well as for feeding contented cows whose rich milk goes into iconic dairy products including Chantilly cream and Maroilles cheese.
