We were a little disappointed by this restaurant. We found the restaurant recommended in several travel blogs and had (too) high expectations reading the menu beforehand. Many of the dishes had the same basic flavours (same sauce and same brunoise celery used), which made it a bit boring. We felt as if the kitchen had to get rid of a lot of these tiny cut cubes, as they were all over most dishes... We didn‘t understand why because the flavors really didn‘t fit the dish at times. We liked that the restaurant uses local produce and wines but that‘s really to be expected in this area! The waiter explained each dish but didn‘t really go beyond that to make us feel accomodated and was otherwise very passive.

Amazing restaurant with lovely waiters and a very nice atmosphere. You can really feel the care that has gone into the menu, cooking and service. We opted for the set menu of three courses, very reasonably priced at €54. However they also brought around some very tasty amuse bouches to start as well as some sweet treats to finish - not to mention the very good bread they kept us supplied with throughout the meal. Each course was delicious, with carefully selected and interesting ingredients that really popped on their own whilst complimenting the dish as a whole. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

L'Essentiel in Dijon absolutely delivered last night. The Magret de canard was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful. Paired with a glass of Trousseau, a delightful red wine from the Jura, it was a perfect match. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, perfect for a romantic dinner or a night out with friends. And the service? Impeccable! Our waiter was knowledgeable, attentive, and made our dining experience truly memorable. If you're looking for a fantastic meal in Dijon, L'Essentiel is a must-try!

Restaurant au rapport qualitĂ©/prix moyen. 48€ les 3 plats. La dĂ©coration est plutĂŽt jolie, exceptĂ© les sĂ©parations en plexi qui font un peu bricolage et qui semblent ĂȘtre un hĂ©ritage de la Covid. Le service est correct, bien que je m’attende Ă  mieux pour le prix payĂ©. Les miettes de pain ne sont pas enlevĂ©es. Le dressage de la table et les couverts sont quelconques. Je regrette l’absence d’une nappe en tissu. Deux heures et demi pour manger 3 plats c’est long. Trop long. Beaucoup trop long. Heureusement qu’on a pas pris la version 6 plats a 88€. Il y avait pourtant son suffisamment de personnel en salle. Quid des cuisines
? La prĂ©sentation des plats est soignĂ©e. CĂŽtĂ© saveurs aucune surprise. J’ai mĂȘme Ă©tĂ© un peu déçu. C’est pourtant le plus important dans restaurant gastronomique. Le poisson de ma femme manquait de cuisson. Bref, selon mes critĂšres, ce restaurant ne vaut pas les notes qui m’ont amenĂ©es Ă  y manger.

Modification du 17/07/23 : Je change ma note pour mettre une Ă©toile au lieu de trois suite Ă  la rĂ©ponse hautaine et insultante du patron. A lire ses rĂ©ponses prĂ©cĂ©dentes il en est coutumier. Cher monsieur, vous ĂȘtes comme beaucoup de ces professionnels persuadĂ©s d’ĂȘtre d’excellents restaurateurs, qu’ils ont parfois Ă©tĂ©, et qui finissent dans l’émission Cauchemar en Cuisine parce qu’il ont pris la grosse tĂȘte et qu’ils n’écoutent plus qu’eux ou leur cour. Si j’étais le seul Ă  me plaindre de votre cuisine sans saveurs, sans surprise et aux tarifs trop Ă©levĂ©s, vous pourriez laisser mon message sans rĂ©ponse, mais le souci c’est que nous sommes nombreux dans ce cas et que vos mauvaises notes s’accentuent fortement depuis quelques temps. Vous voulez rester sourd aux critiques constructives et vous enfermer dans vos certitudes, bien grand vous fasse, mais dire de vos clients qui se plaignent qu’ils n’ont aucun goĂ»t, vous tombez...
