Maison Jules — Restaurant in Beaune

Don’t be fooled by the crowds drinking on the patio. The food was mediocre by regular standards and horrendously insulting to be situated in a culinary capital like Beaune. The salmon was over cooked (though a hearty sized filet), the chicken supreme “Gaston Gerard style” was lackluster, and worst of all, the “accompaniments” of potatoes and steamed vegetables served with the meats were essentially cafeteria-style prepared in huge batches and served as a watery mess. The service was slow and we had to ask 3 times for a beer refill. The couple next to us was extremely angry and having a horrible experience where their wine wasn’t brought out…ever, then when they asked them to cancel the wine, it still appeared on their bill.
