Bistro Lucien — Restaurant in Beaune

My wife and I visited Bistro Lucien for lunch.

Not only was the food truly superb, complemented by an excellent wine list and delightful ambience I must call out the extraordinary service.

Unfortunately I tipped over a glass of wine avoiding a very hot plate of dauphinoise potato with red wine covering a significant portion of my shirt and trousers.

Not only did the wait staff rush to assist with napkins etc. they: Gave me the chefs spare shirt 2 Insisted on having my shirt laundered and dropped back to our hotel 3 Gave us each a glass of their own Grand Cru wine to make us feel better

Everything was really top notch can’t wait to be back!! Look a the pictures for food highly recommend a side of...

Just had a great dinner there with my brother last night (we are wine tasting our way through Burgundy). The lamb confit starter was very interesting and the steak tartare was probably the best I have had, very nicely spiced. We next had the beef main and the pork dish. Both were also pleasantly flavored although we did request some salt and a fresh half lemon to balance out the rich flavors. And it was provided. The service was attentive and pleasant. The wine list is amazing and we tried 4 different red wines. I often find French food a bit bland these days, but here it was definitely nicely varied and offered pleasant surprises. I will definitely return when I am next in...
