BISSOH — Restaurant in Beaune

DELICIOUS. I got the 3 entree and one plat menu, with the salad, sashimi, and sushi, as well as the grilled duck with Szechuan sauce and a scoop of matcha ice cream for dessert. Everything was fantastic: the salad was flavorful and refreshing, the fish was insanely fresh and melt in your mouth, and the duck was cooked to perfection with a sauce that was savory and citrusy but still light and complimentary to everything on the plate. And finally, I normally don’t care for matcha as I’ve only really tried it in cheap lattes, but based on my experience with the meal I felt I could trust that the matcha ice cream would be of good quality, and a good test for whether or not I just disliked matcha or hadn’t encountered one of good quality yet. Well, I can now confirm that the latter is true. Nutty, creamy, and wonderful, it was the perfect end to a lovely meal. I left satiated but not overwhelmingly full, and not even ten minutes later I’m writing this review. I came here for a solo dinner completely by accident as the original Japanese restaurant I intended to go to was full. Thank goodness! Oh, and they offer an extensive wine selection as well. (P.S., my only critique would be that there was no music—it was completely silent! So much so that the only couple eating could probably hear me chewing. Some light instrumentals...

Do not visit Was excited to have sushi, but was very disappointed. The quality of the fish is terrible, the portions are small, definitely not French quality. We eat sushi quite often, and spent a month in Japan. We know what sushi should taste like. There was also a questionable character next to us trying to make conversation, seemed like he was a fraud, trying to make it look like he was an expert in wine, and was a distributor, very uncomfortable. When we shrugged him off, he started conversation with the next table, they were also on to him. The chef was not happy with the situation, but also did nothing about it, seemed like he and the host were in on it. Definitely felt like we were at the wrong time in the wrong place. This was the only time and restaurant in Beaune that we were not happy to be at. DO NOT VISIT!!!—-

Thanks for your reply. My husband never called your wine’s fake, he said the guy next to us looked like he was trying to sell us fake wines(if you could read English, you would understand) Also, instead of apologizing, you are insulting me further by telling me what sauce to use. Very...

We loved the quality, the precision and the details. The sushi and sashimi was most likely the best we have had in Europe, melt in your mouth delicate. All the food was delectable. The service was friendly, accommodating and efficient even when the small restaurant was packed full and they were clearly working very hard to provide such service. It’s clear that the ingredients are painstakingly sourced and chosen with care. The wine list is mind blowing. If you are not looking for a gastronomic experience with a wine selection that makes sommeliers cry you should find another restaurant. In response to the people complaining about portion sizes, have you never eaten at a gastronomic restaurant before?

We left full and happy. We will definitely be back next time we are in Beaune. Don’t hesitate to reserve as it’s a small cosy place, and I highly recommend sitting at the bar so you can enjoy...
