Amazing cheese counter here at Alain Hess…read more Delice de Pommard with mustard and their fresh Gorgonzola were our choices. We'd originally gone there seeking the Delice but as we walk through the door, I see the cheesemonger literally spooning out the gorgonzola into a container & it was love at first sight Grabbed a baguette from around the corner & dinner was served. That Gorgonzola was INCREDIBLE! Oozy, gooey, mild but tons of flavor The Delice de Pommard was a cream cheese with mustard seed husks from the Burgundy region Also offering wines, oils and lots of other temptations, Alain Hess is well worth a visit. If you do go, pick me up some of that Gorgonzola!

Alain Hess is a must-visit when you are in Beaune. It is a fantastic cheese and wine shop, probably…read morethe best in the entire city. The array of cheeses -- all lovingly displayed in a large glass case -- is enough to make any cheese lover salivate and instantly reach for his wallet. The wine shop downstairs is also impressive. Of course you are not going to find any of the highly collectible stuff, but there is a very good selection (of Burgundy, of course!) at decent prices. You can also find a good selection of hand harvested sea salt, high end chocolate, such as Bonnat, and Fallot mustard.

If you're from America then I wouldn't be surprised if Monoprix reminded you of the mini Target, of…read moreFrance! And thank goodness they close at 8:45pm, a total bonus. The market upstairs was all we needed and it was very well stocked with fresh produce and a delicious deli centre. The Monoprix had a very wide selection of frozen meals such as pizza and spanakopita, and even grab and go items for people on the go. Fresh baguettes were available, and I liked that they were well stocked with hard to fine wines that would fit with my preferred needs. A box of madeleines for 1€? I will never say no to that. As this Monoprix is well within the city centre, it is well busy especially between the hours of 6-closing time x

This is a fantastic butcher and meat shop right in the center of town. No need to waste your time…read moreand money on the pre-packaged stuff at the nearby Casino grocery store; this place has all the fresh and prepared meats you will ever need. I especially like their jambon persillé (ham and parsley aspic terrine), a regional dish that is ubiquitous in Burgundy, as well as their duck liver paté. They also have a selection of very tasty saucisson (dry cured sausage) that they will slice for you. Finally, in the mornings they offer freshly-roasted chickens, but be sure to get there early, because they go quick, and once they're out, they're out. The only thing that would make this place better is having Bresse chicken. But I guess you can't win them all.

I liked the cheese section, there were many traditional local cheeses. The wine, beer and spirits section was impressive. There is a pharmacy attached.
