Mâcon House of Wines — Restaurant in Mâcon

Rewarding Experience – Fantastic Service

We received service from Maison Maconnaise des Vins (Macon House of Wines) which you rarely see these days.

After a day of exploring Macon, we stopped at Maison Maconnaise des Vins to buy some wine. We had a delightful wine tasting "tour" of the Macon and surrounding wine districts conducted by an informative young gentlemen working at the Maison.

We ended up buying a case of wine. The Maison offered to have the wine delivered to us. We informed him that since we were cruising down the Rhone on a boat and we were leaving at 7am the next morning for Lyon, the wine would have to be delivered to us at the Macon port de plaisance that night. He said that was not a problem as the wine would be delivered at 7pm that night. We gave him our phone number and asked that he call us so that we could meet him at the docks to receive the wine.

We neither received a phone call nor the wine. Without our wine, we left Macon the next morning disappointed. After a conversation with the Maison, it turned out that the wine was delivered to the capitainerie of the port who said it would be delivered to us which did not happen. Even though we were well on our way to Lyon (75km away), the Maison said they would deliver our wine to us rather than refund our money. We said that was not necessary but they insisted and true to their word, later that night, the Maison delivered our case of wine to us in Lyon which we enjoyed thoroughly for the rest of our trip.

This was service beyond compare and we highly recommend Maison Maconnaise des Vins (Macon House of Wines) for any of your...

Had a late lunch in Mâcon as we meandered north towards La Côte d’Or; as soon as I saw the name, I knew this was to be the restaurant. The service was correct, the cadre was inviting. The entrées were delicious (vol au vent), as was my main course, the ris de veau (sweetbreads), but my girlfriend’s Charolais entrecôte was decidedly overcooked: saignant turned shoe leather. As I was explaining to my girlfriend, Charolais is some of the finest beef, tender and delicious. I believe this unfortunate error was an outlier, an exception, certainly not intentional and yes, I would return to dine here again. The kitchen had just closed by this point, so no possibility of sending it back. The hostess did comp our drinks, which was much...

Nous avons décidé d'aller dîner à La Maison Macônnaise des vins où nous n'étions pas revenus suite à une énorme déception en 2017 ou 2018, bref bien avant la rénovation du lieu. Aujourd'hui le site est vraiment superbe, la terrasse immense permet d'accueillir beaucoup de clients sans sensation d'étouffement. On sent dans la décoration comme dans l'assiette qu'il y a eu une vraie réflexion pour satisfaire à la fois les nostalgiques du lieu qui avait eu une très forte réputation par le passé et de nouveaux clients en quête d'un lieu classe et branché sans être snob ou hors budget. Le pari est gagné. Le lieu s'adresse aussi bien aux familles, qu'aux couples et aux locaux comme aux touristes ainsi qu'à toutes les générations. Un véritable a effort a été fait aussi bien dans la Boutique qu'au restaurant pour rendre repas et achats accessibles à tous. L'ensemble dégage l'impression d'un Etablissement bien géré et l'enthousiasme est palpable côté personnel comme côté clients. Nous avons vraiment pu mesurer le plaisir des locaux à retrouver ce lieu emblématique remis avec finesse au goût du jour. Côté cuisine, un très bon rapport/qualité prix, ce qui pour nous est l'essentiel. Tout n'est pas maison, c'est une restauration simple, c'est certain mais le prix des menus plus que correct explique sans doute cela. Avoir un menu complet avec des escargots de Bourgogne ou du Foie gras dans les 25 à 37 euros, c'est plus qu'honnête! Ce restaurant et son concept répondent à une véritable attente d'autant qu'il est ouvert 7jours/7. On y est bien accueilli et on y passe...
