I got a saffron risotto and it was accompanied with carrots, mushrooms, and beets. We also tried a fish carpaccio that was delicious, so light and flavorful, just melted in your mouth. My friends also got the escargot in a squash sauce. The sauce was pretty good, an interesting take on the popular dish. The waiter was nice, he spoke English and was helpful with translating the menu. But it did take us a long time to get our beverages, and we initially planned to order a second bottle of wine but because he never came back we decided against it and saved ourselves some money.

Dinner for 2. -…read moreAmbiance (4/5) Incredibly cute French countryside outdoor dining. Minus 1 star for the excessive mosquitoes and proximity to the street, where the occasional siren startled. - Service (5/5) Although I couldn't always understand the server's description of the food, it made for an authentic experience. And as you would expect from a Michelin restaurant, service was impeccable. - Bread (5/5) Really amazing crunchy bread. I could've sat there and happily munched on bread all evening. - Tasting Menu, 85€pp - Various amuse (4/5) A carrot/fish croquette was my favorite. The tartare packed quite a punch for the little bite. - White Aparagus, Lardo, Herbs (4/5) Really crunchy asparagus, a bit overshadowed by the homemade lardo, which I found a bit rubbery and too thick. The herbs added a much needed bright note to the dish. - Confit of Abalone, Cochon jus, Herbs (3/5) The abalone was super delicate, but the pork jus read quite salty and too oily for the herbs to save. - Oyster, Cheese, Beets, Parsley & Milk Emulsion (2/5) This was a miss for me. The beet didn't mesh with the oyster. Really not sure what the cheese's purpose was. The emulsions while tasty and fun to look at were also kind of odd additions. - Roasted Pollock, Fennel, Grilled Lemon (5/5) Wow- perfectly cooked fish. Super delicate and soft. And the Leon after grilling had subdued lemon noted that just added a tiny hint of acidity to the fish. - Veal Cheek, Cannelloni Cabbage (5/5) Extraordinarily tender and flavorful with a simple, but robust sauce. Cabbage was inventive and tasty. - Lemon Chili Sorbet palate cleanser (3/5) Really cool to get pops of chili spice at the end of each lemon note, but there was also a significant lingering bitter flavor, like the chef had maybe seated too far into the rind. - Roasted Beef Filet, Peas, Spring Onion (5/5) Perfectly cooked beef, super tender requiring little knife action. Great sauce again. - Brie, Dijon-Beaune soft, Mustard, Ash Cheese Plate (5/5) So this is why everyone ends a meal with a cheese plate. Never really understood it until now- this plate practically changed my life. Served table side with a ton of cheeses to choose from, I got 4 amazing ones, though I suspect any choice would've been good. My favorite was the Brie, which was far creamier and dreamier than Brie I had ever tasted. - White Chocolate Shell, Sheep Milk Ice Cream (5/5) Really delicate half white chocolate shell within almost tangy ice cream. Really velvety texture. - Banana Macaron, Cherry Cream (4/5) Really good... delicate pastries. Perhaps overshadowed by the two preceding, earth shattering plates? - Rhubarb, Fresh Cream (4/5) Good rhubarb flavor. Very light, fresh whipped cream. - Value (5/5) 85€ for 10 courses really is tremendous value! - Final Word The chef is clearly a minimalist. See photos. This was great for me! Execution, execution, execution. Although there were a couple clunkers here and there, there were several memorable plates. I long to return to Beaune!

Before we got our appetizer the place was full. Three of us got the escargot (6) and it was delicious! The snails were hot coming out from the kitchen with spinach, garlic, and olive oil. The French bread was made earlier that day and was still warm. They were allergy conscious which was great for my sister who is allergic to tree nuts. She was able to eat the same meal as myself including the bread since it was made in house. We all got the beef burgundy which was just as tasty. It came with mashed potatoes and mushrooms. We got a bottle of wine that we split. All in all, great dinner. Best food we had so far in France. Our waitress was very kind and sympathetic to our small French vocabulary.

Foie gras was well prepared. Chicken for this Christmas Dinner menu was prepared 2 ways, with thigh meat and breast. Second dish, the cauliflower in a pastry with assorted seafood was fresh and light. Another highlight was the 60+ wine by the glass program, with different village wine, premiere cru and grand cru at various price points by the half glass or full glass. Seriously there is something for everyone. We started with a premiere cru Chablis, followed by a side by side Pommard, a Beaune premiere cru. Read a review that they were surprised that wine by the glass in "Europa" should not be more than a few euro a glass. In all honesty you are in Beaune in the center of Burgundy trying the world glass premiere cru / grand cru small producer wine. Worth every penny.

You have to make a reservation ahead of time to secure a seat and price wise would be similar to an elite restaurant in America...but worth it because you are also paying for the experience.
