Thus, I ordered a green salad (not on the menu) and a creme brulee. My green salad came with my bf's appetizer, which is a homemade parsley ham, that tastes more like a pate. I had a taste if it and it almost made me hate my green leaves with white dressing on it. I couldn't hate it though cuz although the ham was extremely delicious, my salad wasn't actually bad at all. "it's okay," I thought to myself, "there's no way that weird poached egg thing he ordered will be delicious." And I was wrong. 3 poached eggs with wine sauce on a bed of garlic croutons was incredibly good that even though i hate egg yolk, i still dipped bread into his wine sauce while he eyed me with disgruntleness. "ORDER YOUR OWN FOOD!" But when my dessert came, it was his turn to be jealous. Although he said his two cheese dessert was good, it was nothing compared to my creme brulee. My Creme Brulee did not come in a ceramic baking bowl, but the custard it was a round pudding like shape on top of this amazing tasting cake that is drenched with a coffee syrup. There are these crunchy sweet sprinkles all over the dessert, making every bite just a little bit more heavenly. His three dish set lunch was only 21 euros and my salad and my creme brulee came out to be about 11. The creme brulee at 7 euros is a bit steep, but it was totally worth it. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is a typical place in Beaune with a beautiful sunny patio. The service was slow, but that's expected. LOOOOVED it!

Good food, excellent wine, nice terrace, good but slow service and bad coffee…read more The food is very good, however not spectaculair, but worth its price (3 course menu 23,50). The starter (aspergesoup) and dessert (brownie) were better than te main (lam). The wines are great, but more expensive (around 7 euros per glas). The waitress was very nice, however with two people serving the whole restaurant you wait quite long. Coffee is bad and wayyyy overpriced: 4,5 for a machine-made cappuccino! Overall, a good restaurant when you are not in a hurry, just dont' order coffee :)

A dining companion reports that the onion soup was a full meal and delicious. Cesar salad included freshly made (still warm) croutons and two kinds of meat (breaded chicken and ham/ bacon) Smoking allowed at the outdoor tables (ashtrays on every table) and interior seating was uncomfortably warm so we chanced sitting outside in spite of the second hand smoke. Service was efficient and entirely in French.

Escargot is textbook. I don't understand other reviewers here who describe it as being in an egg sauce, when clearly it is in the typical parsley/butter/garlic concoction that all restaurants in the area serve. The confit de canard went perfectly with the Premier Cru Volnay we chose, and made for a very memorable occasion. Service was polite and friendly. Prices, especially for good local wine, are reasonable. The toilet is clean, and down a long hall that you'll have to navigate when you look for it. Don't worry, it's there!

The restaurant had both locals and tourists, even though it was the off season. Beaune is near Charolais country so beef featured prominently on the menu. I had carpaccio and my husband had a burger.

Avoid this place…read more What a ripoff! In the heart of Beaune, near the Hospice, and hoping for a decent meal and a great glass of wine. Vosne Romanee by the glass on the menu, but what was served (at 16 euros a glass!!) was the dregs of some cooking wine they found in the kitchen. Even the burger was soggy, and the service was worse than the food. Avoid this place like the plague.

I'd recommend cocktails on the patio on a beautiful day.

The salad was great - can't hardly do a salad wrong. We ordered the dish of the day but they were out - offered beef instead. It came camouflaged in a pastry - for good reason: it was a leather boot inside. 1/2 meat 1/2 gristle - very disappointing. The table wine wasn't any better - my first bad wine in France ever (and I've been here a lot). Dessert was good, but I ordered the fruit salad which looked like preserves - I changed to the lemon tart. Suzanne says the worst restaurant she's experienced in France. Watch out!

An excellent location right in the middle of the little town…read more We stopped here around 5pm on a Friday, given that it's positioned right on the biking wine road. An excellent thing is that they had sandwiches outside usual dining hours, which we absolutely used. It's a nice and calm location with a terrace on the town square and just next to the Savigny-les-Beaune castle. The sandwitches were excellent, we could park our bikes just next to our table and the wines by the glass they had were an excellent discovery as well. Overall, an excellent location, totally recommendable!

We had just toured the adjacent Chateau Savigny-les-Beaune and wanted a place where we could eat…read moreand wonder aloud what the hell that chateau was all about. Seriously, it was like a guy with a castle ran around to yard sales both expensive and cheap, bought all the offerings, and stuffed them in and around his domain. So, we walked here. It's about 40 feet from the chateau gates, so if you can't find it then you have a tremendous problem with navigation. We read the menu and it looked perfect, so I was prepared for them to tell me they weren't serving food. As any visitor to France soon learns, sometimes restaurants that are supposed to be open are closed. Or, sometimes restaurants that are open are indeed open but unwilling to serve you food for random French reasons. It's something you have to grudgingly accept if you want to enjoy your travels. Delightfully for us, the restaurant was actually open and receptive to the concept of seven humans, American and Irish, sitting down and eating their food. They have a lovely outdoor patio, but it was during a heat wave and there was not a chance in hell we'd be sitting outside. Indoors was quaint, comfortable, and didn't have the stupid sun beating down on us. If memory serves, we were limited to the pizza menu at that hour of the afternoon. Not a problem, as we were all quite hungry from walking around the chateau going, "What the hell is this?" for two hours. We ordered a variety of their pizzas -- from the traditional Margarita, to fancier types like my Paysanne (sauce, cheese, ham, bacon, onion, cream). You can see the full menu on their website, which was originally designed in 1999 (I checked the source code). I tried some of their local beers, which were quite nice, and a welcome break from the gallons of Burgundy we'd been consuming. Service was remarkably normal. We didn't feel rushed, but we also didn't feel like the waitress had boarded a boat for Antarctica. As a veteran of 3-hour French lunches, I appreciated this. All-in-all, a very nice experience, and definitely worth a try after you visit the castle that finally convinced my wife that she doesn't want to live in a castle.
