Les meilleurs restaurants en Semur-En-Auxois

24/09/2026: My wife and I came here for dinner with high expectations, both because it was recommended to us and because we read the excellent reviews. Well, this little restaurant far exceeded them all. The space is small, but the tables are arranged appropriately and social distancing is well maintained. The overall impression is medieval, with the large fireplace and the flag with fleur-de-lis. The welcome is warm and informal, putting you at ease, yet you know you're somewhere different. What immediately struck me was a large loaf of bread on display, undoubtedly wood-fired, which I longed to bite into. The menu is focused on a few dishes, but decidedly traditional. We chose "six escargots" because they're a must for me in France, "magret de canard" and "rognons de veau," two glasses of wine, an espresso, and a cognac. While we waited, he brought us some empty, warm savory beignets, which made us realize we were truly about to enjoy superb cuisine. The chef is alone in the kitchen, and I wondered if he'd be able to keep the wait time within acceptable limits. It was perfect; even though the dining room was packed, no one waited longer than necessary. We enjoyed everything with immense pleasure: quality ingredients, perfect cooking, and the perfect combination of side dishes. The price was more than fair. It's a shame we live so far away from here, in Italy, because it would have become a regular restaurant for us.

16/09/2026: Exceptional; it's a rare experience to have a single person in the kitchen who masters appetizers, main courses, and desserts with such skill. Note that reservations are recommended, as this restaurant's reputation lives up to its cuisine.
