They seated us and the servers only came by our table to drop off our food. We had to get up to request a second glass of wine which never came. However they put it on our bill. They removed the charge at our request. I would avoid this restaurant.

The waiter was really friendly and spoke good English. The wines we tried were all really good. Their bread was also really good. I had the burgundy beef stew and the sauce was delicious, the beef could've been a little more tender but it was still good. The mashed potatoes were also very creamy a good addition to the dish. For dessert we shared a hazelnut macaroon type thing with ice cream on top, it was also very good! Not overly sweet, but a good balance.

My favorite meal in Beaune! They have a variety of fresh dishes with veggies, that seemed hard to…read morefind in the city. 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.

After…read morepassing through the hotel's lobby and small bar, a welcoming, cozy sitting room complete with a roaring fireplace greets patrons. It provides a decidedly old-school foil a sleek, clean modern dining room, which foreshadows the meal ahead: classic French, prepared anew. In finer weather, the expansive patio would be ideal for an al fresco meal. Either way, the floor-to-ceiling windows provide a picturesque view of Burgundian Grand Cru vineyards along the ridge above. In fabulous style, the service is perfect, unobtrusive, yet generous. For lunch, it's hard to go wrong with the Menu du Jour, two plates for 19E, three for 25E. The rabbit terrine, expertly made, rich and nuanced, served with a biting whole mustard. Pumpkin soup, spiced beautifully for the season, was creamy, soft, and warming. The chicken ballotine stuffed with herbs and laid over filling red lentils cooked in sultry demi-glace. To pair, the wine list is expansive and filled with Burgundy, at suitable prices. Castel de Tres Girard's on the must-do list for any trek on the Route de Grand Cru.

If you're a fan of beer they have more options than your typical place - I was happy with happy hour wine prices though. Also on happy hour - appetizers and baskets of crispy frites. I opted for an onion soup (really lovely) and their "yin yang" version of ouefs meurette which offered versions in traditional wine sauce but their own version in an Epoisses cream. Can I reflect upon the perfection of these eggs for a moment? Indulge me. The burgundy version was great - a light, herb filled sauce that wasn't too salty and clearly homemade. But that Epoisses cream? Incredible - I used up a pile of bread on the sauce because it was perfect. I am currently sad that I am not eating that sauce right now and for the rest of my days. Service was fun and friendly, and the prices are "college student cheap". Don't sleep on those eggs, though - seriously.

* FTR #400, Review #700!!!! *…read more What are the chances of the milestone FTR and review count to coincide?!?!?!?! What to review? And why Le Tigre? 1) This isn't a fancy brasserie. 2) This is just a small neighbourhood local spot. 3) I have never had lunch here. 4) I've never had a drink here. So why the review? I ate breakfast here almost every day in Dijon. It was close to where I was staying, and I really really liked the owner. He really has such a fabulous attitude for a small local brasserie. Oh, and there is an artists' rendition of him (shaved head and all) on the menu cover! I wondered if his nickname was "The Tiger?" Hm....... The breakfast offerings were quite simple. Your choice of croissant or baguette. Both were quite good and sadly better than anything we can get in Vancouver, even though this is just a small local place that doesn't bake their own. Your choice of coffee or tea. Again nothing fancy. Pure simple honest food. The thing I like about the owner though? Even though breakfast was so simple, he was sitting behind the bar reading a cookbook! He is constantly trying to learn new techniques, and it left us wondering why we didn't visit for lunch to try his cooking - I suppose for another trip! (Perhaps after he has finished reading the book!) Another thing I like? He let's local musicians play in the brasserie many days. So you can enjoy a very casual setting, with simple pure honest food and a little bit of musical entertainment. A perfect local hole-in-the-wall - Dijon style!
