Loiseau des vignes sur Beaune

22/09/2026: The menus were relatively affordable for Beaune. We had a Caesar salad and beef tataki as starters. The salad was quite good, but it lacked that little something extra that would make it feel like a restaurant-quality Caesar salad. As for the tataki, it had a very strong sesame flavor and was quite spicy with wasabi in some places. It really made your nose tingle with some bites 😅 For our main courses, we opted for the braised beef cheek à la bourguignonne and the seared tuna. The cheek was good, although a bit too salty for my taste. The tuna wasn't showcased well enough; you could barely taste anything but the sesame. For our final course, we ordered the cheese course and the baked chocolate mousse with a scoop of sorbet. The cheese plate looked rather empty, given its small size for just three tiny pieces of cheese. I think the portion size was okay, but the presentation wasn't quite right. And I also appreciate a few accompaniments on a cheese plate: two or three grapes, a slice of marzipan, and some dried fruit... The chocolate mousse was delicious. A very interesting hot-cold contrast. For this restaurant, I think you should choose traditional dishes (well-prepared). The service was friendly, fun, and offered good advice on wine pairings.

09/09/2026: Good quality but a very small portion size, which is a shame considering the high price of the menu.
