La Cave Se Rebiffe — Restaurant in Dijon

Talk about an absolute gem! My girlfriend and I walked in Saturday night with no reservation arriving late from Lyon. The bartender that night was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home at the bar on a busy night. Maybe he could sense the desperation, I don’t know. I asked for a bottle of his favorite bottle of red burgundy that was full bodied and he did not disappoint. To make it better, I said “tres bien Monsieur! It’s like you read my mind!” He goes, “I am in your head!”

Immediately I knew this guy was the real deal. Fresh prosciutto, other meats, cheeses, and main plates. We had the cheese board with fresh bread and it was heavenly. Fresh cheese, crisp cheese, flavorful cheese alongside homemade bread. The bartender was also making fresh pasta upon ordering and limited quantities.

Here we go to the next night. Sunday night. This place was so incredible Saturday night we had to go back. Different bartender but same experience. Comfortable, warm, delightful. We got a different bottle of wine and it was just as good. The homemade dish this time around was similar to a pot roast. Slow cooked meat and mashed potatoes on top.

This is a bit embarrassing, and I think the locals caught on, but I got the meat and potatoes entree not once. Not twice. But three times. My girlfriend got the burrata rigatoni dish (only once), and it could’ve been ordered three times as well. So good. To make it better, I lied and said my cousin is sick and needs the meat and potatoes dish to go. They don’t offer to go, but the bartender was nice enough to give us the skillet with the entree in it to go as long as we returned it.

I walked in the streets of Dijon with a piping hot skillet of meat and potatoes home just to finish it in the comfort of my own home. As an American (not the stereotype), ordering three entrees is ridiculous, so thankfully he allowed this.

Overall, I think my girlfriend and I will only be taking our business here in Dijon. If not her, certainly I. Incredible wine. Incredible food. All at a incredible...

Absolutely fabulous experience here! Came here after seeing such positive reviews on google on Saturday night and the owner graciously allowed my partner and I to sit at the bar as long as we were out before the 9pm reservation.

First off - the wine. They have such a great collection of curated wines. Red. White. Rose. Oranges. You name it. The bartenders were super knowledgeable in helping yoy find the right bottle.

(Spoiler alert: we went here during our 2/2 nights in Dijon!)

Night #1: we shared a beautiful platter of local cheeses and a perfectly paired Burgundy to accompany. Perfect local vibe inside. Great musicX good ambiance. If we had the table for longer we would’ve had an entree as well as it smelled great.

Night #2: had to come back. This time, a new bottle, and also to dine! My partner hand a delicious beef and potatoes dish, and I had an amazing burrata pasta dish. My partner actually ordered seconds because he loved it so much.

This place is 5/5 stars and I’d recommend to anyone in Dijon. Locals or visitors.

Can’t wait to come...

Came upon reading positive reviews. Pros: 2 stars for Intimate setting, nice location, reasonable price. Staff speaks some English

Con: -Hate to say this, but for the sake of visitors relying on reviews like me, I’ll point out the other faults. They didn’t replace my glass from first wine upon ordering a different wine. I don’t think I’m asking much here, especially at a wine bar, not some graffiti splattered dive bar. If you’re out of glass, just let the customer know.

-Limited by-glass option. Expected a bit longer a list considering it’s a wine bar

-When my companion asked for seltzer with a splash of juice as he doesn’t drink alcohol, the staff brought over a fizzy drink that costs as much as a glass of wine (6eur). I’m talking about seltzer/tonic/sugar mixture. It’s not even a cold press or smoothy. Um, perhaps notify customers their option and price? That’s a tactless thing to do. I know running a business is tough, but as a staff, you have to understand/anticipate norm and expectation

-Took forever for the charcuterie to come out...
