La Cour des Grands is a fine-dining restaurant at 72 Rue des Jacobins in Amiens, in the Hauts-de-France region of northern France. It stands in the old centre near Amiens Cathedral, the largest Gothic cathedral in France, and is described as an elegant restaurant serving seasonal, creative contemporary French cuisine.
The menu changes with the seasons and is built around quality regional produce handled with modern technique. The pigeon rôti, roast pigeon, is a signature main course, and the Saint-Jacques au beurre noisette, scallops finished in hazelnut-brown butter, is the standout starter or fish course. Mains cost roughly €28 to €45, placing the restaurant in the upper price bracket for Amiens.
The dining room is refined and calm, with attentive service and a noise level that suits conversation. Dress is smart-casual to smart, in keeping with a special-occasion meal. The setting works well for a long lunch after visiting the cathedral and the nearby quarter of Saint-Leu.
The wine list focuses on French producers, and the sommelier or service team can pair bottles with the seasonal menu. Service is Tuesday to Saturday, with lunch from 12:00 to 13:30 and dinner from 19:30 to 21:30; the restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Reservations are essential. The room is not large, so booking several days ahead is advisable for weekdays and a week or more for Friday and Saturday dinner, and earlier still during holiday periods and cathedral-related events.
