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.

I had the 3-course lunch for 24€, which was an amazing deal (if you have kids they get an even…read morebetter one: 12€). It included what appear to be many house specialties including a starter of "Jambon persillé maison, câpres à queue, mesclun à l'huile de noix" (a cooked ham in jelly), followed by "Joues de bœuf cuite 12 heures au vin rouge, carottes confites à la cardamome" (beef cheeks that fell apart at a touch after 12 hours braising in wine). Like I say, for the price it was a steal, and I'd highly recommend the place. The interior is formal but the clientele not at all - a pair of gents in soiled and torn clothes looked like they'd just come from tending the grapes. Come before or after tasting some of the local wines, or try 5 cheeses at nearby fromagerie Gaugry with a glass of wine for 5€.

It's along the Grand Vin Route from Beaune to Dijon, closer to Dijon, in the little village of Vasna-Romanee. We had a fabulous meal, starting with good escargot, then a melt-in-your-mouth terrine of duck foie gras with a peach marmalade. My main was a baked duck coated in honey, with potatoes and roasted figs. It was simply delicious, with great complimenting flavors. My wife had a skewer of pork tenderloin marinated in red pesto, with sweet chorizo and a creamy risotto. Also delicious. We had to work at translating the menu items, but the wait staff was very patient and helpful. For wine, we had a great 1st Cru Greve from the region, at a price we'll never see in the US. Great setting with a park view, and clearly popular with locals. I have no reluctance to recommend this restaurant if you're anywhere in the Burgundy region.

Best Meal We Had In France…read more.. Pros: Excellent food. Charm to the highest degree. Cons: It's not the easiest place to find. Suggestion: Drive slowly and watch for a sign on a building on the east side of the "main" road about midway through town. Le Chambolle is behind that building. Star Ratings: - Overall: 5 - Food Quality: 5+ - Food Quantity: 5 - Dining Room Attractiveness: 5 - Menu: 5 - Service: 5 - Noise: 5 - Price: 5 - Value: 5+ - Restrooms: N/A It's amazing. On our first trip to France, my wife and I seemed to find at least a few excellent restaurants in the most unlikely places, such as the extremely old, but charming town of Chambolle-Musigny. Amidst medieval buildings which appear to lack indoor plumbing...much less a modern restaurant kitchen...stands Le Chambolle. We entered and were warmly greeted by Martine, the co-owner with her husband. Location: You can easily miss it. The restaurant, in Chambolle Musigny, is about 5 miles south of Gevrey Chambertin and around 1 mile west of D974...the main north-south connection through Burgundy. It's behind and to the left of an old building, one in a long line of similar structures. Either the navigator in your car gets a pair of eagle eyes...you drive by a couple of times (like we did) or you get lucky. It's best to watch for small street signs. Parking: Prepare to walk a bit. There's nothing near Le Chambolle, but we found 4 spaces together on the same side as the restaurant about 1 block north...and a surprisingly large lot accommodating 15 cars roughly 2 blocks south. Exterior: Understated yet handsome. Nothing fancy. Interior: Like dining in the owner's home. Quaint and very thoughtfully put together. Tables are well spaced, furnishings are simple yet elegant and classical music played softly in the background. Is there such a thing as "contemporary country French"? Menu: Fairly brief. They offer a 3 and 4 course prix fixe dinner with choice of 4 starters, 4 main dishes and/or a cheese plate and 8 desserts. Those same items, plus a few others, are available a la carte. Food: Heavenly. I had the 3 course dinner and chose scallops with some tossed greens in a vinaigrette dressing (the fish was unsurpassed), Sandre, a fish similar to perch or pike, with vegetables in a red wine sauce and 3 small scoops of the most flavorful vanilla, rum raisin and coffee ice cream to be found. My spouse had escargots ("prepared the way it should be"), coq au vin ("the best I've ever had") and 2 scoops of sorbet, cassis and strawberry. Wine List: Extensive, especially compared to the menu. We focused on red wines and saw a price range from 50 to more than 200 Euros with an average of 75-100. We were "lost" so Martine suggested a few dry reds between 50-75 Euros. We chose a 2009 Chambolle-Musigny ("Les Fremieres") for 62 Euros. It was great. Service: Caring. Martine was sweet, helpful and accommodating to 2 travelers who were way out of their comfort zone, not to mention their country. She was like your best relative serving her best food. Price: Cheap. Our meal was 118 Euros, including 62 for the wine. Value: Doesn't get any better. The combination of food, ambiance, service and price...plus an intangible feeling in the air...created a sense of magic. My wife and I could not recommend Le Chambolle any higher. For a little while, we felt like part of their family.

Lunch for 3. -…read moreAmbiance (5/5) Unexpectedly modern- beautiful interior. Set in a tiny village, I might've preferred country rustic, but this worked too. - Service (5/5) Very professional and courteous. Bread service was also very cute too with the bread coming out in a big basket. - Bread (5/5) The baguette (pain blanc) was to die for. Crunchy crust, warm chewy center. - Prix Fixe, 32€ - Cod Fritter, amuse (5/5) Spicy, salty, crunchy, moist- tons of flavor packed into this tiny ball. - Tartare de Gambas (5/5) Never had a shrimp tartare before actually but really good! The snap pea velouté was silky and a great base for the tartare. - Quasi de Veau (5/5) Never had a braised veal come out in such a thick cut, which originally made me nervous about tenderness, but it was tender and flavorful. The mushroom was also delicious- wish I had more. And the herbed mashed potatoes were perfect. - Ecume d'Ami du Chambertin (5/5) Never had rich, velvety, frothy cheese like that before. Salty and creamy. Mmmm. The little gingerbread slices were also the perfect accompaniment. - Lemon Tart (3/5) Good but a big sweet and rich for my taste. Beautifully and creatively presented, deconstructed and upside down in a martini glass though! - Value (5/5) Considering the number of quality dishes for this meal, I'd say 32€ is a steal. - Final Word Wow- unexpectedly modern, creative, and delicious dishes in this decidedly country setting. Great spot to stop and recharge after a morning of wine tasting.

The first night we did the tasting menu which was not only beautifully prepared but tasted amazing. My only complaint was I ate too much!! Oh and they have a Fabulous wine list!! 800 or so on the list! The second night we created our own tasting menu...Damien and Adrien were terrific servers - enjoyed talking with them immensely. And you can't forget the marshmallow experience at the end of the meal. Makes you feel like you are in a scene from Willy Wonka! Will go back next time we are in Burgundy!!
