Place Emile Zota is a nice plaza filled with restaurants sharing on characteristic. They are open Sunday, a rarity in Dijon. This plaza has a nice variety of places and you will have your choice so walk around. It appears closed off to traffic at night so this is a plus. I will say that there was not a mask in site, which seemed typical around here. The other thing to expect is smoking which is allowed everywhere The menu has a large variety of Local classics We had the Duck and the Crispy Chicken. The food was simple and well executed. Menus are all in French (imagine that) Get the Google translate app, it's black magic and brings menus to life for this ugly American The service was meh. So, it was a B+ for France Just lose the hurry and take a chill pill. You are on vacation. I would recommend but set expectations. read more

We ate here for our first night in Dijon. The service was great, the food was reasonably priced and super delicious. I had the onion soup and beef cheeks and my husband had the mushroom-snail soup and a fish dish. We didn't have any dessert because we were too full. read more

Was in Dijon back in March for my birthday with friends and wanted to try out Burgundy food, which led me to this restaurant located not too far from the hotel I was staying at. Place wasn't crowded at all when we went in, but it took a long time for our orders to come (perhaps because we'd just arrived at opening, so things were still getting set up). Ordered a Pinot Noir wine (dry and intense), along with an escargot stew which I shared with my other friends- chewy and rich. I got a beef bourguignon as my main dish, and it came in a rather cute, mini-tin plate with cheesy gnocchi served on the side. Absolutely delicious, with the beef super tender and rich in wine taste. The gnocchi was great, too, although a bit too much since the beef itself was already heavy to begin with. Best to get here early, especially on weekends: within 30 minutes of our arrival, the place was packed! Again, service could've been faster, and prices were a bit steep, but overall a solid establishment for some good food and a tavern atmosphere. read more

One of the challenges for English speakers in visiting smaller French towns (read: not Paris or Lyon) is that the Yelp advice is less reliable and more dated. I'm happy to add my more recent experience to the other 5 stars of English speakers at this lovely restaurant in Place Emile Zola. Price for the weekday lunch special is hard to beat, at 10,90€, and it comes with the usual entree + plat or plat + dessert possibilities. In this case I had an excellent stew of pork with some mashed potatoes. If that wasn't enough to knock me out, I finished with a gateau de fromage blanc. If you're feeling curious for some Burgundian cuisine, you can opt for a cassolette of escargots, which was quite nice, but also rich! read more

This place gets 10 stars for decor, what a cute place inside. Why didn't I take a photo?? Anyway, I felt the service was tad slow as we arrived early and the lady who gave us the menus seems to only do that plus slice bread, and she was slicing a ton of bread, for what I saw, an empty restaurant. Needless to say in a bout 15 minutes the place started to fill up so kudos to her for getting her work done. The food selections were nice traditional French items which is what we were looking for. I ate a quiche with a nice salad and on the side was a mustard onion confit that was delicious. An added bonus for the non French speakers is that they have an English menu as well which can come in handy. read more

We were all swooning over how adorable this restaurant is. Each room (looked like there were four) was charmingly decorated with little accents of country life: vintage bicycles, copper pots, dried herbs or bouquets, etc. The back room looked perfect in size and beauty for a nice anniversary dinner party or bridal shower. They even have a little play area for children. Everything on the menu looked delicious, and considering the quality of the ingredients and time and care put into each dish, it was really reasonably priced (6 to 9 euros for entrees, 14 to 20 for plats). We opted for homemade sausages baked with cheese and pasta, beef bourgignon, and a vegetable platter. The vegetable platter came out as a little garden! That, and the little coffee and tea sets with chocolate on the side were icing on an excellent dining experience. read more

Slowest restaurant I have ever been too. Even with France's standards. We were seated and the. It took 30 mins to have someone come to the table to get us anything. Even after getting their attention a few times durning the wait. Then the starters came out. They have is rotten veggies and stale bread. Then it took the one hour and a half to serve the rest of our dinner. Two and a half hours for two courses. Very bad service. The wine was warmer than room temp when it came out I. A region that is known for their wines. What a disgrace to your region/country. Nobody seemed to care. Not to mention the food quality was very under par. I am normally good at finding restaurants and this one I found in a travel blog. It was a huge tourist trap and was a nightmare experience. I recommend passing on this one. I will take the bullet for you. There are a lot better places in Dijon. read more

The service was at once rushed and negligent. Every contact with our waiter gave us the impression that he wanted us to hurry with our orders and requests, but it took at least 20 minutes for him to even show up to take our order in the first place. Then they brought the wine before the glasses. And then he about half an hour to bring us the check after we asked. Food was good: no complaints there. Just a warning for foreigners: that mac and cheese with sausage isn't just any sausage. It's putrid-smelling intestine sausage. Beware! Andouillette, I think it's called. Avoid if you've never had intestine. A $$$ place isn't where you want your introduction. There were a few interesting touches. I hear nonsense is all the rage in Paris, so the same kitsch has bled into Dijon. For example, our wine came in a florescent pink plastic bag full of cold water. A bag that still had its product tag attached. Bread was served in a polka-dotted tin easter pail. The sort of thing you get from the dollar shelf at Target. These touches seemed unnecessary to me, and a distraction from the good food and wine. read more

Absolutely worst service I have received in France. As a party of 4 adults & 4 children, we ordered some appetizers & small plates (similar to tapas) for the kids. Apparently, this was unacceptable to our extremely bitchy waitress. Our children were served their plates 30 minutes after we ordered, and the adults were served 60 minutes after we ordered -- during a Thursday lunch service which was not crowded nor busy. The waitress seemed to go out of her way to be rude to us -- a smiling bitch, if you will -- and when we ordered pints of beer, we received 1/2 pints. The flavor of the food we eventually received was good, but definitely not worth the crappy service & long wait. Avoid this restaurant & try somewhere else. read more

I had the Gartin d'Andouillettes de Troyes et Coquillettes for the first time and I like it. Gamey and chewy if you like that sort of thing. Portion size is big and they pretty much cover your whole plate with thick cut of the Andouillette sausage. read more

Excellent food but not the right spot if you want to have a good diner without being surrounded with smokers.

We really loved this place. My wife had the lamb shank and I had the beef bourguignon. I'd take mine over hers but both excellent. The only thing I didn't like was that they dropped a bottle of unlabeled Chardonnay on the table with the water. We had a couple glasses only to realize it was 20€ for half a bottle....which was more than our Hermitage and really nothing more than a low grade table wine. But that's my fault for not asking. Great place read more

Loved this place. Excellent beef burgundy. Great wine, of course. Atmosphere is very french countryside. Did not feel touristy (only one other English-speaking table). Would definitely return. read more

Très déçu J'allais régulièrement dans ce restaurant il y a quelques temps. Depuis je suis parti de Dijon mais j'ai décidé d'y revenir comme dans le bon vieux temps. Quel déception ! La qualité des présentations et des plats proposés s'est nettement dégradée... Si les serveurs sont très sympathiques, on ne peut pas en dire autant du personnel à la caisse qui est peu commercial. En effet aillant attendu pendant 40 minutes des digestifs qu'ils n'avaient plus en stock, je demande la note (sur laquelle figure les digestifs que nous n'avons pas bu !) et un petit geste commercial. A cela il m'a été répondu qu'il ne l'aurait fait que si je ne lui avait pas demandé... Pour finir ils nous ont offert 2 cafés (3 euros)... Vraiment sympa... Avec une note de 110 euros pour 2, je m'attendais vraiment à beaucoup mieux.. Pour conclure si le décor est toujours aussi sympathique, les prix me semblent beaucoup trop élévés pour les plats qui y sont servis. read more
