Beautiful surroundings, Beautiful restaurant, original setting Super service and top-quality products. High-level culinary enjoyment!

Exceptional view of the vineyards, a short drive from beaune. Great food as you can expect and wonderful service to match.

An address where flavors and vineyards coexist brilliantly, impeccable staff, and a sommelier worthy of this Michelin-starred restaurant. A fine address, as Charlemagne said.

I genuinely don’t understand how this restaurant has only one Michelin star! 🤯 Having dined at many Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, including three-star establishments, I truly believe this deserves at least two. The setting is beautiful, the service is exceptional and incredibly attentive, and the food and wine are outstanding. We’ve been coming to Burgundy for many years, and for us, this is the best restaurant in the region. It is a premium experience, but absolutely worth the price. Truly exceptional.

A beautiful setting, contemporary decor, and attentive, meticulous service. The atmosphere is a bit serious at first, but thankfully, a few touches of humor help to lighten the mood. The wine list is superb, very comprehensive, and the sommelier is incredibly attentive. As for the food, the experience is more mixed. The dishes are beautifully presented, and the local ingredients are of excellent quality. As discerning fans of French-Asian fusion cuisine, we were curious and enthusiastic. However, we were left wanting more, both literally and figuratively. The menus seem to be distinguished primarily by the number of courses, and the portions are truly minuscule. Even the side dishes are a bit of a letdown: the tiny potato, the size of an amuse-bouche, had absolutely no flavor for us. The delicious homemade bread, drizzled with a thin layer of olive oil flavored with nori seaweed powder, was a welcome addition. As for the lamb (certainly cooked sous-vide), its taste and texture were so reminiscent of duck breast that my partner had to remind me what meat I had ordered! Sometimes, by overworking the product, you seem to lose what gives it its character. A real success, however: the petit fours served at the end of the meal. Delicate, indulgent, and perfectly executed. Bravo for this beautiful final touch. I shared my impressions with the chef at the end of the meal, also congratulating him on the beauty of his kitchen and stoves. I simply would have liked to feel more attentive and less self-centered. My intention was to have a conversation, and I left with the feeling that my reservations hadn't really been heard, even though constructive criticism is valuable to those who are willing to listen. It's a shame, because his expertise is undeniable, and it makes you want to try a slightly more generous style of cooking, with more depth, especially since with such a limited menu, his mastery needs to be absolute. During a visit to Paris, I would gladly suggest that she discover Substance: I find there a spirit that might resonate with her, with that indulgence and emotion that we missed here. The price remains fair considering the service and the investment. In our opinion, it lacks a touch of whimsy and generosity, at least in the portions, and in the side dishes, and an atmosphere that takes itself a little less seriously. Food is also about life, love, pleasure, and sharing. Let's keep it simple. A sincere opinion, reflecting our experience in this blessed region.

Good atmosphere, good tempo of service and amazing wine card. We would like yo be back!

Exceptional! A must-visit: impeccable service, extraordinary cuisine, and a true delight with every bite. I loved everything about this experience, from the simple yet sophisticated setting to the magnificent tableware—we were spoiled for choice. A special mention goes to the cheese course, which I almost didn't order, as I'm not usually drawn to this part of a meal… What a mistake that would have been! This dish is simply out of this world. An absolutely incredible discovery!

Everything was excellent, well done! The food was original and delicious. The service was impeccable. However, I was disappointed to see a couple at the next table feeding their dog with the restaurant's cutlery. As a doctor, I question the hygiene of this practice. Apart from this detail, I highly recommend this restaurant!
