16/05/2026: My wife and I were making a quick stop near Vesoul to take possession of a property we'd bought in the area. We'd looked into restaurants in the region and had decided to go to one in a larger town, either Vesoul or Luxeuil.
And then, during our conversation with the seller, he recommended Restaurant Rémy in Saint-Loup. "You'll see," he said, "they offer everything from a classic menu to a gourmet menu." We went to Saint-Loup without much enthusiasm.
Wow! A magnificent building! The courtyard is extraordinary!
So, we went inside.
Wow! The decor was perfectly suited to the occasion.
Wow! The dining room was impeccably designed.
We took our seats, and the owner gave us a choice between the "gourmet menu" (the quick option) or the "gastronomic menu" (very tempting). We had 200 km to drive home, so we opted for the gourmet menu. She then presented us with the menu, featuring incredible ingredients. We nodded, not quite knowing what was in store for us.
Here we are.
The amuse-bouche (made with ingredients we would never have thought of) arrives.
"Enjoy your meal, my love!" Incredible, amazing, delicious! Now for the starter!
Incredible, amazing, delicious.
And this continued right through to dessert.
I should add that the wine was excellent as well.
And then, it was time to leave! We had carefully read the menu before coming in, but "This is impossible," I told ourselves! "It's a meal costing over €50/€60 (per person)!"
Drumroll: Less than €40 per person.
Bravo, congratulations, excellent, delicious, to the chef first and foremost, to the staff, for bringing these exceptional flavors and combinations to life in this superb setting, this tradition of a love for food.
Ahhh, how disappointed we'll be next time we go to a restaurant near us. (They're excellent, but not the same.)
Note: I'm absolutely not the type to write reviews that will be read by the whole of France, but unfortunately, it has happened far too often that we've been disappointed, even very disappointed, by the food. So I'm sorry for writing such a long rant, but it was necessary, for them, for tradition, for the obligation to eat properly. Thanks again, and I hope to see you very soon.
15/05/2026: Excellent restaurant. Good value for money considering the quality. The establishment is well-decorated and welcoming. Beautiful tablecloths and white napkins. Impeccable service. Smiling and friendly staff. Good, tasty, and original cuisine, with interesting flavor combinations. A rare find these days: the cheese platter is included in the €48 tasting menu, and there's no limit to the number of cheeses you can try – well done! My second visit, and I'm still just as impressed. I'll be back.
