Who would have expected such world class food and service in a small town of about 3,500 people in the Jura department of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France? I read about the restaurant before leaving home in the U.S., and my hopes were exceeded. The host, Alain, and our waiter, Louis, were very professional, responsive, timely, and helpful with all of our questions and getting us a wonderful dining experience during a brief visit of less than 24 hours to their commune here in France. We ate a list of dishes, each of which was certainly French: Rognonnade de veau dans sa sauce crémée, palais de polenta poêlée (Veal kidneys in a cream sauce with slices of fried polenta) Le foie gras poélé enrobé de sa panure aux petites graines (fried breaded foie gras with small seeds - for an additional €3) Very nice, but less than stellar, the only thing I _might_ have deducted points for, but didn't. Velouté Dubarry à l'huile de chanvre et son cœur croustillant au sumac (Velvety Dubarry -cream of cauliflower- soup with hemp oil and a crunchy center with sumac) Le coq nu vin jaune et aux morilles, servis en cocotte à l'ancienne (rooster simmered in vin jaune with morel mushrooms, served in a baking casserole) L'assiette du fromager: Comté & Morbier (slices of cheese, two of Comté and one of Morbier) Poire caramélisée et gelée au Poulsard, sa boule de glace à la créme Isigny They do NOT accept American Express, but to me, who cares? Not me.

I had the Mediterranean Minestrone, it is not what you would assume it is. Sardines, mussels, tomatoes, and couscous. The Sea Bass stew was prepared with potatoes and saffron. They have a wine pairing menus with delicious wines from the Jura Valley and elsewhere or you can order on your own. Unusually large portions for a French restaurant. The restaurant has a very comfortable setting in this small French village with narrow streets. Service is excellent and especially helpful choosing the wines from the region since most are not familiar with this variety. All of the starters and entrees are impressive but the short ribs and sea bass are off the charts. All of this is followed by a cheese cart you walk up to and choose your 4-5 selections of local cheese. The local cheese is addicting. Fresh powerful flavors. I could not stop eating the cheese on this trip. Check out these photos from last nights WOW dinner.

If you're a fan of beer they have more options than your typical place - I was happy with happy hour wine prices though. Also on happy hour - appetizers and baskets of crispy frites. I opted for an onion soup (really lovely) and their "yin yang" version of ouefs meurette which offered versions in traditional wine sauce but their own version in an Epoisses cream. Can I reflect upon the perfection of these eggs for a moment? Indulge me. The burgundy version was great - a light, herb filled sauce that wasn't too salty and clearly homemade. But that Epoisses cream? Incredible - I used up a pile of bread on the sauce because it was perfect. I am currently sad that I am not eating that sauce right now and for the rest of my days. Service was fun and friendly, and the prices are "college student cheap". Don't sleep on those eggs, though - seriously.

We split the deer carpaccio as a starter, which was wonderful - tender thin slices of meat with arugula, walnuts, and walnut oil. Two of us had the rib steak, which was a thin boneless ribeye and cooked to order, medium rare in my case. Served with three sauces: black olive, basil, and spicy red pepper. Tender and flavorful. Lovely bottle of local red wine, lighter in color but full flavored. Excellent service, highly recommended!
