Inventive cuisine quality products and the famous crust paste is a tuerie. to taste at all costs. only false note was the service to the cool or very familiar in any case unworthy of the chef's kitchen. a server that says high and strong not to love wine so unable to advise anything. The skit was becoming comic... it's still a bang! What a shame.

I researched a few Michelin rated restaurants but almost all of them were closed on Mondays. My partner had spotted lamb chops at a cafe in the old town but I insisted we come here. It has a 34 euro lunch menu which just seems a shame to not try given the restaurant has one Michelin star. Oh my goodness- everything was sublime. The menu is set, no choices but luck would have it lamb was for main. There was a green gazpacho which zinged with flavour, foie gras with a seafood broth, (the best foie gras dish I have had ever anywhere in the world) and tender tasty lamb for main. There were amuse bouche- my favourite the mustard and tomato mini ice cream cone- or the Parmesan shell filled with truffle liquid. Amazing. The service was excellent. The wine was expensive- however no more expensive than any other restaurant on Beaune. I would drive 9 hours to go back there from our holiday house further south!

We were absolutely not disappointed and we will return next year. the frame is very soothing with the beautiful shaded terrace and the garden in length that follows it. We were served with great kindness and know how to do by two young hotel owners. my husband great amateur of good wines enjoyed the very eclectic card. the dishes were delicious and we loved this Franco-Oriental blend with refined perfumes and at the same time of the terroir. splendid evening especially after a long stage by car and a thousand thanks to this chef and his team who have the taste to dare.
