Depuis des années, ce restaurant séduit les papilles avec une inventivité et une créativité de tous les instants. Les palais les plus exercés sauront apprécier la terrine fermière et salade au xérès pour poursuivre avec la fricassée de lapin aux tomates et vinaigre d'estragon. Au rendez-vous également, une soupe de melon au pamplemousse et granité à l'anis étoilé et, pour les amateurs, colombo de rascasse et fruits de mer ou queues de langoustines et pétoncles. Le tout merveilleusement mis en valeur par une carte des vins riche et variée. Une excellente impression qui se poursuit jusqu'au dessert qui joue également la carte de l'originalité avec des tuiles dentelle et macaranade de citron lime et sorbet à la pomme verte pour un ensemble bien séduisant.

I felt a bit disgruntled after being seated because I wasn't ready to be eating a heavy French…read morethree course meal after having eaten a heavy French dinner the night before. 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 :)

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!
