Located at the base of the town (and convenient to parking) this is a perfect stop to fortify yourself after a climb up the hill. The interior is quietly elegant in a clubby way and the staff is helpful and very knowledgeable. I opted for the €25 lunch menu which started with a lovely amuse of mushroom velouté. My plat was a "faux filet" but there was nothing tough or gristly about the beautiful steak I was served. It was perfectly medium, and served with mushrooms and a peppercorn wine sauce. That was followed by one of the most delicious desserts ever - pain perdu with an orange honey glaze and spiced ice cream. The bread had a sugary crunch outside and was soft inside, perfect for soaking up that beautiful sauce. If you're looking for a good lunch spot in the area, treat yourself here - this is high quality done exceptionally well by nice people.

We had for dinner one vegetarian 5 course and one Hommage Aux Saveurs menu with a substitution of the foie gras dish from the Mes Racines menu for the "Brochet A La Falcon D'une Fôchouse" white fish appetizer. The service is very warm and the waiters only know the word yes--just the kind of service deserving of a 2 or 3 Michelin white tablecloth fancy restaurant. The first dish was a great collection of local vegetables that struck us both as similar to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. We immediately Wikipedia'd the restaurant and learned that the previous head chef before he committed suicide was famous for using local fresh ingredients and low cream, revolutionary in his generation for French Haute Cuisine. Foie Gras dish was Bomb; I snuck a bite and it was delicious, perfect hot temperature, and not too fatty. The vegetarian dish for that course was a green asparagus with an egg cream. Savory dish for meat eater was veal served pink; savory dish for vegetarian was a layered potato with melted cheese and fresh cilantro on top. The cheese spread was amazing, and the wine was very overpriced compared to the Burgundy joints we visited.

Bernard Loiseau lived and died a legend. If you don't know to whom I refer, read "The…read morePerfectionist" about the life of this legendary French chef who battled depression his entire career, but still became a Three-Michelin star chef. When reports came out that he was going to lose a star, he shot himself at a fairly-young age. If that doesn't make you want to stay and dine at his legendary hotel and restaurant, well, read the book, and then book it. Tucked away in a small town in Burgundy, lies the Relais Bernard Loiseau. It is a gorgeous, yet unconventional, hotel. It has large cabin-like rooms, and a beautiful spa downstairs where I did indulge in a treatment or two. While the hotel is gorgeous, gourmands flock far and wide for the legendary food and to clench a bit of the legend. As an ignorant non-foodie, I did not know much about Loiseau, when I arrived, but, was quickly educated. There is not much to do in this little town, with the exception of a few bars and the hotel and gift shop attached. It is very quaint and lovely. The restaurant is in word: astonishing. Each course is elegantly and gloriously prepared. I still think about their signature cocktail, my first frog leg, and the tenderness of the beef. The dining rooms are incredible, as is the lounges where you enjoy your cocktails and wine. I would recommend challenging your palette to one of the set menus. The pastries are divine. The hotel in general has exceptional service. They even provided us with our own driver/certified sommelier for wine tasting throughout burgundy. It really doesn't get any better than this. If you ever find yourself in France, it is worth the drive (only two hours if you don't get lost from Paris).

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.
