Orléans has a solid restaurant scene for a city of its size. The Rue de Bourgogne and the streets around it concentrate most of the options, from traditional Loire Valley bistros serving river fish and local white wines to more modern cooking. The region is known for its vinegar (vinaigre d'Orléans, a slow-aged wine vinegar with protected status), its game, and its fruit, especially the pears from the Vallée de la Loire.
