Chez Grace - Dijon

It's a very nice and cosy place to eat. The chef Grace is a wonderfull woman, everything she cooks is so good. I recomand it to everyone.

Grâce is the name of the charming chef proprietor and she hails from Portugal. Otherwise, this simple but cosy bistro in the rue Jeannin is known as Le Bistro Bourguignon. Set lunch is a steal at 13€50 and if you look hungry and Grâce likes the look of you you might get some extras. For lunch we had the specials which consisted of a salade campagnarde to start, with bacon lardons and eggs, and then two of us had the very tender osso bucco and the other two the traditional salt cod (morue). Pudding was a traditional Portuguese sponge cake reminiscent of tiramisu. Don't expect any refinements, just tasty food in a convivial atmosphere with a friendly chef possessed of a sense of humour.

We needed a late lunch so we headed down rue Jennin in Dijon. There were several smal Cafe's In the area and we chose Chez Grace. This one had the most folks that looked like locals so we hoped the meal was going to be a good one. It was the first meal I had in 3 weeks that I cleaned my plate. The added plus was the delightful woman that charmed us with colorful banter as we ate. My sauce was so good on my chicken that I was given a small extra bowl of it to finish cleaning my plate.

Eating at home is making a family meal.Grace is benevolent with his guests, there is nothing missing on the table. The dishes are delicious, homemade with fresh products . it is enough to ask her to do it ... veal head, paella, bourguignon, meurettes eggs, calf language ... a family dishes orfèvre ! and what a nice person, at table with you, with his anecdotes and his accent cut to the knife !!

I was told that good!We went there with friends, 12 people!We ate a paella not really terrible! The first dishes were correct, but the others. There were no more shrimps but just head and tails of shrimp. Probably the remains of our first dishes! and worse, there were pieces of beef that looked strongly at burgundy beef! Probably the rest of the dishes of the day of the week. we have taken 2 apéro each and about 2 glasses of wine with a dessert for a price of 40€ per person! extremely dear to my taste !! To avoid!
