A nice experience in Dijon. Recommended
Place Is a small restaurant in the old town of Dijon with casual decoration. It required reservation and they only open at night except dsturdays.
Service We were warmly welcomed. The service was a bit slow as there were many tables coming at the same time and the two guys took some time, still on time.
Food We were received with some bread and fresh Olive paste. Quite nice.
We had cheese brick with salmon and salad and snails for starters. The brick of cheese and salmon came into a container of crunchy pastry. The snails with the top of hot bread and a sauce of bacon, mushrooms and green peas both very nice, although would have loved to see a bit more of thickness on the snails sauce.
Magret de canard (duck breast) and pork fillet were the mains. The duck came pink as requested with a delicious wine sauce over a bed of mashed potatoes and crudites, lovely Pork well cooked with a tasty sauce also quite nice. Portions are quite big and we struggle to finish everything.
Kids had breaded fish with mashed potatoes. Again a generous portion well cooked.
For desserts a finnancier and a mint jelly with merengue and red fruits. Both wmnicely decorsted. The finnancier was spongy, and came with Ice Cream, pinneanple and strawberries decorated with a croncant de chocolat.
We liked it, food was prepared with detail and the ambience is pleasant including the...
   Read moreA very unique address in Dijon, booking in advance recommended (several weeks sometimes!) Spacious seating either on main floor or in refurbished cellar. Attentive and helpful waitresses for recommending courses and wine bottles. Dishes had a fine-dining quality presentation (for a restaurant with no Michelin star, though deserves one) ! entrée : Salmon with a fantastic presentation and a delicious taste, slightly cooked outer crust and raw heart. main course : red mullet cooked to perfection, with mini vegetables and a virgin sauce (olive oil, balsamic, tomatoes, chive) ... simply DELICIOUS. Cheese selection was fresh from local farmers, savorous and creamy ! Will be going back to try the rest of the menu...
   Read moreFace Ă lâavalanche de commentaires Ă©logieux sur ce restaurant, je me dis que jâai du me tromper de porte. La carte est difficile Ă comprendre et il nous a fallu plusieurs explications pour savoir comment ça marche, voilĂ qui nâest pas bon signe. Une salle trĂšs trĂšs bruyante qui fait que lâon sort Ă©puisĂ© et il y fait Ă©galement trĂšs chaud (bon vu la pĂ©riode ça va se calmer). Aucun des plats ne nous vraiment plu. Burata sĂšche (et un seul choix dâentrĂ©e) le poisson en sur cuisson et avec le rouget ça ne pardonne pasâŠcomme accompagnement un morceau de poireau qui Ă©tait dur et nâa plu Ă personne Ă notre table. Le porc Ă©tait bon mais sans audace et on attend toujours un petit jus de viande sinon câest sec et bien lĂ pas de jusâŠpas de petit twist non plus. Et surtout pour lâensemble des plats une absence dâassaisonnementsâŠtout Ă©tait fade. Le meilleur fut lâamuse bouche qui Ă©tait bien sympa et le dessert, mĂȘme si un peu brouillon par le mĂ©lange des saveurs (trop de choses tue le message du platâŠnâest pas Pierre Gagnaire qui veut). Bref, câĂ©tait vraiment pas terrible la plupart des assiettes sont revenues en cuisine bien remplies. Donc je me dis quâon est tombĂ© un mauvais jour. Et nous allons y retourner dans quelques semaines, car il faut toujours donner une seconde chance. Sinon accueil sympa et temps dâattente des plats vraiment trop longâŠmais le problĂšme nâest...
