Le Purgatoire sur Chalon-Sur-Saone

18/05/2026: We ate at Le Verre Galant restaurant, located on Place Saint-Vincent in the pedestrian center of Chalon-sur-Saône. The restaurant has a terrace overlooking the square with a direct view of the cathedral. Inside, the atmosphere is that of a brasserie. The menu offers traditional French cuisine, with a nod to regional Burgundian specialties. We saw typical appetizers such as duck terrine with confit duck breast or poached eggs with Epoisses cream. The main courses follow the same style, with dishes like eggs meurette, chicken supreme with Epoisses sauce, and more classic cuts of meat. We ultimately chose the butcher's cut with Roquefort sauce. The presentation was simple and appetizing, and the portions were generous. The service was friendly and attentive. The drinks menu perfectly complements the meal with a genuine selection of Burgundy wines served by the glass, such as Rully, Mercurey, and Petit Chablis. It's a very good restaurant (offering unbeatable value for money) that we enjoyed for a delicious meal near the cathedral.
