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.

The prices were very reasonable; and, the service was impeccable even by French standards. Most importantly, the food was, in a word, exquisite. If I had one suggestion, it would be that they allow customers to make reservations through their website.

If you want your Époisses, Cîteaux, or Comté cheeses, this is the place to get them. There is also a carefully curated selection of mustards, fleur du sel, olive oil, teas, wines, and various other condiments. If you like Bonnat chocolate, there is a very good selection of them here, and for much less than what you are paying in the U.S. More a place for specialized items than staples, but definitely worth a visit or two.

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!

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.

MAGNIFIQUE!!! This…read moreplace offers exceptional wine by the glass, but they also have an amazing lunch program. The husband is French and his wife is Japanese, it seems she does most of the cooking while he does most of the wine preparation. What took me by surprise here is the exceptional level of quality in every bite of food. We were truly mesmerized with the flavor and the sourcing of the ingredients, I really do believe this place does all organic farming, and because of their location out in the French countryside, farm to table is not something they market, it's just who they are. We ordered the classic croquet madame, and it was easily one of the best bites of food I've ever had in my life. I don't understand how they achieved this level of flavor with ingredients that everyone else in France would be able to have access to if they looked hard enough. I was hoping to come back here the next day, but they were closed on Wednesdays. We can't wait to come back on our next trip.
