About Le Cercle
Le Cercle is a good Auxerre choice when you want a calmer, more deliberate meal rather than a noisy casual stop. Its We're Smart World 2025 recognition with 3 Radishes gives it a stronger point of view than many local options, especially for diners who care about vegetable-led cooking cues and a composed room.
Le Cercle is a venue in Auxerre with a limited weekly schedule and casual dress code. The verified details are direct: it is closed Monday and Sunday, opens for midday hours Tuesday through Friday, has evening hours on Friday and Saturday. It also holds We're Smart World 2025 recognition with 3 Radishes.
An Auxerre choice to plan by the confirmed details
Because the confirmed information is limited, the safest way to assess Le Cercle is practical rather than speculative. Its hours make it relevant for a planned Auxerre midday meal from Tuesday through Friday or an evening meal on Friday or Saturday. The casual dress code means formal dress is not indicated by the verified information.
The clearest verified recognition is from We're Smart World 2025 with 3 Radishes. That recognition can help distinguish Le Cercle from other dining options, but it should not be read as proof of a specific cuisine, menu format, chef, dish, or dietary offering unless those details are confirmed directly with the venue.
Who should choose it, who should cross-shop
Choose Le Cercle if its Auxerre location, casual dress code, listed hours fit your plans. The published schedule is narrow: Tuesday to Thursday from 12–2 PM, Friday from 12–9 PM, Saturday from 7–9:30 PM, with Monday and Sunday closed. Diners comparing options can also look at L'Aspérule, L'Alpinette, Cantinallegra, Le Jardin Gourmand, or Shiva Nagar, depending on the kind of meal they want to arrange.
The practical verdict: Le Cercle is worth shortlisting when you want a verified Auxerre venue with 3 Radishes recognition and a schedule that suits midday or limited evening planning. Avoid building plans around unconfirmed details such as a signature dish, tasting format, seat count, chef profile, or special service arrangement.

How It Compares
Choose Le Cercle if the priority is a calmer Auxerre meal with a clearer quality signal: its We're Smart World 2025 recognition with 3 Radishes gives it an edge for diners who want a more considered experience. L'Aspérule is the sharper cross-shop for modern cuisine and a listed €€ price point, so it is the better comparison if budget clarity and a defined modern format matter more than atmosphere.
L'Alpinette and Cantinallegra are more sensible backups when the goal is an easier local meal rather than a recognition-backed pick. If the booking here does not line up with your schedule, those two are the first places to check before widening the search across Auxerre.
Shiva Nagar and Le Jardin Gourmand make more sense for diners choosing by mood or cuisine preference. Le Cercle is the stronger choice for a quieter, more deliberate meal; the others are useful when the evening calls for a different format or less emphasis on a polished room.
