Parapluie — Restaurant in Dijon

"Just two guys making art." That's what the first reviewer said and it instantly piqued my interest. Even with only one other review, there was something about how the food and experience was described that it was worth checking out. And wow! We were so glad we did. The artistry was not simply in the presentation, but most definitely in the taste as well. The dishes are based on local, seasonal availability, and the creations are fresh, unique, and delicious. Every dish, wine, and espresso origins were described to us -- it was delightful to know what we were consuming. The sommelier and the chef are two very humble people and we enjoyed conversing with them. This place opened only six weeks ago! I hope they do well. They deserve the success. If you want to enjoy something wonderful and other than traditional French cuisine, try this place! And in case you're wondering, Parapluie...

A wonderful little gem beside a bustling area of Dijon. Staff were extremely friendly and courteous and managed to find one seat for me at the last minute (which was within covid restrictions as another party was of 3, so literally only left room for a table of 1 - me!) In the evening you get the set 5 course meal, which is fusion of French and Asian inspiration. The twists on foods was exciting and fresh - classics but brought new life by a touch of something classically unusual but wonderfully paired! My meal included fried tofu, egg with mushroom foam, fish, pork (which was incredible!!!!) and strawberry and cream dessert. Staff wear masks and practiced COVID guidelines but in a way that one felt comfortable but enjoyed an otherwise lovely evening and meal.

Highly recommend for a lovely...

Nice restaurant. The food is excellent. Their wasabi desert is amazing. However the service is a little downside. I called more than a week (8 days) before my arrival for the reservation. A couple days later they called me later saying that the only remaining places left is the bar. I was okay with that since the restaurant is quite small (around 20 places). I ordered an extra appetizer (tataki beef). It took around 1 hour for it to be served, then more 30 minutes for the first official starter on the menu. The other dishes were served quickly after that. What shocked me a little bit that I order a glass of red wine after a glass white and it was served in my used white wine glass. Overall I would recommend the restaurant for the Asian-French...
