I walked into a first Sunday of the month brunch tradition that was an excellent experience. The food, service and drinks were first rate and I was well cared for. Afterwards I realised this was a vegetarian restaurant. It was a memorable event and I now have to wait until I get back for more!

We had no idea how lucky we were to get a table for 4 at the last minute, and found ourselves having a great meal in the cozy restaurant. Everyone is very kind and attentive, and it is a joy to be able to see Chef Hugo preparing the dishes. However, nothing can prepare you, whether you know ahead of time, or like us, you just come in off the street, for the incredible deliciousness of the meal. Let the critics go on about how the food is from local sources, the dishes are vegetarian, and the kitchen minimizes waste go with or without expectations this is a meal you will remember. Each course presents lovely and creative combinations of textures, flavors, and colors presented in beautiful dishes. For us, it was not only the best meal of our visit, it remains one of the best meals we have ever had.

Typical gourmand cousine without a menu. Creative cooking with local and seasonal ingredients, fair price and nice service. Probably worthy to be in a Michelin guide. I wish I had more places like this back home !

It’s exactly the type of food I love, full of complexity and flavour and surprise and balance, “tonally” warm, and beautiful to look at too, without being pretentious. Excellent!

The restaurant is impeccably designed and each table feels very private despite being in an open setting. Walking in, you feel assured about the quality of the menu and service, neither of which disappoint. The lunch menu is very affordable for what feels like a special meal €35 for entrée, plat, dessert). Our waitress was friendly and attentive, providing excellent advice on wine pairing. Definitely recommended if visiting Dijon for a refined but unfussy meal.
