4 Must-Try Burgundy Restaurants 🍷

Just got back from Burgundy, where I dined at four locally adored spots—all recommended by winemakers and veteran wine merchants. Zero disappointments! (Budget: €30-40/person—a sweet spot for quality without breaking the bank.) ⚠️ Pro Tip: Book ahead! Weekends (and even Valentine’s Day) see entire villages flocking to restaurants. Walk-ins? Forget it. 1️⃣ Le Maufoux 📍 45 Rue Maufoux, Beaune Cozy, golden-lit bistro where wine insiders go. Wine hack: Bottles are often priced below retail! We splurged on Roulot and Jerome Galeyrand Les Retraits (check WS prices—ouch, but worth it). Must-order: 🐌 Escargots (order a whole plate per person—no sharing!) 🍲 Fish "hot pot" (so hearty, you’ll be 95% full by the end). Lesson learned: Burgundy will humble your wallet. Bienvenue! 2️⃣ La Comédie du Vin 📍 12 Bd Jules Ferry, Beaune Owned by wine merchant Benoit Chapelle, now run by his daughter. Set in a converted 20th-century cinema—grand yet homey, hosting weddings, concerts, and more. Vibe: Think rustic elegance with killer wine pairings. 3️⃣ Premnord Restaurant 📍 6 rd 974, 21700 Premeaux-Prissey Hidden gem near Nuits-Saint-Georges, surrounded by vineyards. Why it’s unforgettable: 🍇 Grapevine views + creative dishes = 10/10. 🐟 Black beans + fish stew (the broth? Divine). 🥗 Vegetarian starter that tastes like meat (sweet-pickled veggies = genius). Even weekday lunches are packed—that good. 4️⃣ Héritage 📍 5 Rue d'Ausonia, Berzé-la-Ville Nestled in Mâconnais vineyards, this spot oozes countryside charm. Highlights: 🦞 Complimentary lobster bisque (yes, free). 🐟 Sea bass with carrot-potato purée (subtle, earthy sweetness). 🥞 Traditional French crêpe (massive, sugar-crusted perfection). Final Thoughts: Burgundy’s dining scene is unpretentious but exceptional—where wine flows, portions are generous, and every meal feels like a celebration. #BurgundyEats #FrenchWineCountry #OffTheEatenPath #NoRegrets
