Le Caboulot Lyonnais sur Chagny

21/04/2026: First off, I took one star off for the food and another for the wine list. After some not very memorable amuse bouche (the foie gras lollipop was salty), we were served langoustines deep fried with puffed rice -- Maybe because this is France, but coming from Asia, this reminded me more of a mid-range, mall seafood restaurant rather than high end French. A dollop of caviar never elevates the experience. And it was all down hill from this. The John Dory, scallops, and lamb were ordinary. The wine list? I visit Burgundy once a year and, until this year, always stay a night at Bernard Loiseau. What a mistake choosing Lameloise this year. The wine prices were fairly expensive and older vintages were limited. I didn't travel all the way to Changny to pay Paris or New York wine prices. The reason for eating at Michelin restaurants in Burgundy is for accessibility to some of the best wines in the world. Rooms are fairly basic for the price as well. Next year, I'll go back to my routine with Bernard Loiseau.
