Le Pre aux Clercs sur Dijon

New Year's Eve dinner, where we wanted to start the year in a beautiful establishment. The reservation was very easy to make online, with confirmation by phone. Upon arrival, at the agreed time, we were seated at a round table on the ground floor. The meal itself was excellent. No complaints about the quality of the food: the dishes were cooked to perfection, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. At €125 for a New Year's Eve dinner at a Georges Blanc brasserie, one expects this level of culinary quality, and it certainly was. However, several points clearly marred the experience, especially for an establishment of this reputation. One doesn't expect to have to "sacrifice" oneself to take the smallest portion of an amuse-bouche simply because the portions are different sizes. Nor do we expect to see an appetizer served on completely mismatched plates, with portions visibly unequal between diners. And we're even more surprised when fish is served on a chipped plate. We tell ourselves it might happen once… but when it happens again with the next course, it becomes hard to believe it was a coincidence. At the very least, two people—one in the kitchen and one in the dining room—could have noticed. So yes, we ate very well. But when you choose a renowned restaurant to celebrate New Year's Eve, and considering the price of the menu, you expect rigor and perfection at every level, not just on the plate. We won't be back.

Dinner on December 25, 2025... What can I say...? Having been regulars for several years, we return at every opportunity with genuine and renewed pleasure. Chef Daiwe Wang and his team have accustomed us to savoring consistently innovative, refined, and flavorful dishes: this is an important point, but this bistronomic, entirely homemade cuisine, prepared with a certain expertise, wouldn't fully deserve such praise if the service, provided by the team of Head Waitress Eugenie, weren't so efficient and welcoming. Professionalism without ostentation, courteous smiles, and a natural kindness that make you feel like a valued guest. Thank you for knowing (and spreading the word) that in our restaurant scene, such service still exists, combining humility and efficiency: Bravo, Madam.

Mixed feelings about the New Year's Eve dinner on December 31, 2025. The meal was good, and the dishes were well-prepared. However, for an establishment called "Brasserie Georges Blanc," we shouldn't be served chipped plates, and the portions should be identical for everyone at the same table. The staff shouldn't blame the kitchen staff for every comment; it's unacceptable and very inappropriate. Overall, the service didn't live up to expectations or the price.

The waitress was friendly but inexperienced. The turbot was served cold, undercooked, and with a cold, tasteless side dish. We reported all of this to the staff, who informed the chef, but no compensation was offered. We will not be returning to this establishment.

The food was typical, good... the fillet steak and tartar were worth trying. The waiter (older than me... really very kind and happy to offer advice on wine selection). The rest of the staff wasn't particularly friendly... Plus, I still don't understand why we weren't served the daily menu while everyone else was.

I highly recommend this place. You can dine with a superb view of Liberation Square. The cuisine is exquisite and the welcome is warm.

A must-see in Dijon. Delicious, carefully prepared dishes using premium ingredients.

A wonderful experience. The food was of very high quality. The service was efficient and pleasant. Well done!

Fourth visit for my partner and me. For us, it's an essential place during our visits to Dijon, both for the food and the excellent service. Once again, I say a big bravo!

Quick service, pleasant space with a mirrored ceiling and a wall of wine bottles. Excellent location in the city center. Traditional yet sophisticated, perfect for a lovely family meal.
