Le Corbeau — Restaurant in Dijon

Came to Auxonne for a nice lunch and a walk along the river. It was a monday and the town was pretty empty. Plenty of parking anywhere. We made a reservation here two days before, since the menu looked really interesting and feedback was good.

There was a quick misunderstanding when we arrived. We had our Bulldog with and dogs are allowed only outside. But since it was sunny and we planned to sit outside anyways, this little misunderstanding was resolved quickly.

We went for the Menu Sensation, a three-course meal for just 35 Euros each. Ordered some wine by the glass as well (some red, some white). Fair deals on wine. For startes we've had the crispy shrimp and the mi-cuit Foie Gras. Both excellent choices. For the mains the steak with pepper sauce and chicken Roulade with sides. The chicken was nice, tender and beautifully presented. The steak was of suprisingly good quality. Juicy and tender. Cooked as ordered.

The desserts weren't really that great though. Lava cake with ice cream. Pretty avarage. No thrills. The pineapple carpaccio was mostly just freshly cut pineapples.

The starters and mains were really great. The desserts a bit of a let-down. Might go for cheese instead next time. But surely a place to be back to try some other items. The cook surely is talented and uses good products and presents the plates...

We recommend this small hotel if you want a French experience rather than a chain hotel. Hotel is on a quiet main square facing the big church, the whole area is worth a stroll. Beware the late opening at reception (5pm), and look for parking down the alleyway alongside the hotel.||This visit we chose the 2 triple rooms on first floor to share with family - not quite as nice as the double room from previous visit, but both quiet, comfortable and very clean. Breakfast at the hotel was good: plentiful fruit, cereal, yogurts, cold meat & cheese and (of course) bread and pain au choc and croissants.||Evening meal did not start until 7pm at hotel which was too late for the children; but we had a great meal at the nearby Creperie Les Bles d'Or (wider menu than expected, including steaks).||Found cheap diesel at Intermarche in town,...
