Le Benaton sur Beaune

Delicious from start to finish, a warm and calm atmosphere, precise and experienced gestures in the work of a master craftsman.

It’s worth visiting Beaune just to eat at the Kirameki! We were a party of 6 with two not small dogs (labs) and were given the choice seating around the corner of the bar where we could watch our food being prepared with passionate concentration. The food is exquisite and the carefully curated wine list includes aged bottles at very fair prices. The sommelier is knowledgeable and passionate. The combination of Japanese sushi (I’ve never tasted better!) and French cuisine is a dream. I’m salivating as I write. We would travel to Beaune from Zurich just to eat (and drink!) at the Kirameki. Au revoir team Kirameki!

Among my best meals of 2026. A truly exceptional gastronomic experience; the ambiance, the dishes—what delights! Watching the team work like bees at their desks, the wine list was magnificent and perfectly priced. It richly deserves its stars; it was so beautiful, delicious, and perfect.

Kirameki is EXCEPTIONAL. Visited with a friend in August — every single course was so delicious and shout out to the host: he was attentive without being obtrusive. The wine list is excellent — we had the Les Horées 2022 Pinot noir which is SO difficult to get! We sat at the bar, and had the treat of watching the chefs work their magic. I cannot wait to return!

Exceptional! Japanese art with a Burgundian touch, a superb wine list, everything is prepared right before your eyes. The fish filleting, the preparation of the dishes: a spectacle. A must-try.

A truly authentic sushi restaurant has finally opened in Beaune. What's more, it's a rare restaurant where you can also enjoy excellent French-style pigeon. It was a shame they only had one type of sake.

A wonderful moment in a relaxed atmosphere. Dishes full of poetry and delicacy. Fresh, top-quality ingredients. Delicious! I recommend it 100%.

Highly recommended! Top Asian restaurant in Beaune.

Dinner in Kirameki, between Beaune and Kyoto. Tired from the drive, I opted for a table rather than the counter, a slight regret as I would have loved to watch the chefs at work. We began by choosing our chopsticks from a collection, a gesture that set the tone for the evening. First course: a broth enhanced with seaweed, served in a finely cut antique glass. Then a sumptuous pâté en croûte, pork and pigeon, sweetbreads and foie gras heart, sliced ​​cleanly before our eyes. The yellowtail nestled in a vegetable futomaki, covered with flowers and fresh shoots, a veritable garden on the plate. Next came the Arctic char on a cucumber gazpacho, enlivened by a shrimp. We were then presented with a 40x50 cm tin: the fish that would become our sushi. The quality was evident even before the first bite. Four nigiri followed, of a caliber I haven't encountered even in Japan, and a simply breathtaking temaki, the rice still warm beneath the crispy seaweed. The A5 Wagyu was presented whole before being sliced ​​and served with grilled corn—an exceptional meat, meltingly tender and fragrant. Water infused with verbena and ginger accompanied the rest of the meal. The dessert, rhubarb and strawberry, was flavorful and perfectly light. Petit fours brought the meal to a beautiful close, featuring a selection of chocolate and matcha tea. The cuisine, helmed by chefs Keishi Sugimura and Juri Shimozono, blends Japanese precision with Burgundian generosity, enhanced by a wine cellar boasting over 500 selections. A truly dazzling establishment, worthy of its name.

A very memorable meal! I was very impressed by the quality of ingredients, inventiveness, presentation and service. Thank you to all the staff that made the evening so special
