La Venelle sur Mirebeau-Sur-Beze

A Saturday night meal in a small restaurant where the dishes are a delight for both the eyes and the palate. A perfectly curated menu featuring fresh, expertly prepared ingredients. For an amuse-bouche, a creamy smoked asparagus soup. For my husband's starter, poached eggs in red wine sauce with foie gras and two generous slices of foie gras, and for me, a beautiful plate of local asparagus with gravlax salmon. For both of us, fresh scallops on zucchini tagliatelle with morel sauce. Delicious! The set menu includes a cheese plate or fromage blanc. For dessert, I had crème brûlée, and I also had a floating island with pink pralines, which I regret not ordering. All this for a very reasonable price of €39.50. Special mention goes to the waiter, who took excellent care of each table. The chef came by to chat at the end of service; it's always a pleasure to talk with someone who is truly passionate about his work. I sincerely recommend this restaurant to both locals and those just passing through.

I highly recommend this excellent service. The welcome was perfect, there was no waiting on arrival, and we had a very good time.

We managed to book a private lunch for four on a Saturday, almost by accident, but what an experience! The food was simply wonderful, the dining room private (the owner opened just for us and called his staff back 😅), and the service impeccable, friendly, and attentive. A huge thank you for this marvelous moment, and yes, there are still some truly great restaurants out there at reasonable prices! I highly recommend it!

We had a lovely evening. The menu is perfect for those with a hearty appetite, as it's quite generous. You won't find a menu with multiple sections listing different dishes. It's concise, which speaks volumes about the quality. The presentation of the dishes is elegant. The beef fillet was cooked to a perfect medium-rare. The scallops were a good size and delicious, and the portion was very generous. The wine list is interesting. We'll be back soon!

We stopped at Patrick's for lunch between noon and 2 pm. The service was quick, the portions were generous, and the presentation was lovely. We enjoyed a pleasant time in a warm atmosphere.
