Maison Lameloise

★★★ Michelin€€€€french

It's impossible to sum up in just a few lines the story of this institution, whose star-studded career begun back in… 1926! Yet, Lameloise, whose interior features a string of warm, cosy dining rooms, each of which is appointed individually, is far from nostalgic. Éric Pras, former sous-chef to Jacques Lameloise, became head chef in 2009 when his mentor retired; as Éric puts it: "Tradition is the future." Faithful to the establishment’s founding spirit, as inspired as he is meticulous, Pras pays homage to Burgundy's terroir (snails, Bresse poultry, Charolais beef, Morvan hazelnut cazette) whil

Frédéric Doucet

★★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine

Frédéric Doucet's restaurant is a creative and exciting take on established ideas of terroir and tradition. The son of bistro owners, he was born into the business, and cut his teeth in the kitchens of some of the greats, from Pierre Orsi and Paul Bocuse to the prestigious Maison Troisgros. In his premises nestled in the heart of a village with pointed towers and weathered roofs, the chef breaks it down for diners: nothing but fine ingredients from Saône-et-Loire (including Charolais beef, snails, pike and goat's cheese), prepared with rigorously applied classical techniques that do not exclud

L'Écrin de Yohann Chapuis

★ Michelin€€€€Creative, Modern Cuisine

A former orphanage provides an out-of-the-ordinary venue for the cuisine of Yohann Chapuis, who learned the ropes at Lameloise. The chef crafts food rich in “taste and emotion”, which has its own distinct identity and character, thanks to premium seasonal produce, like scallops, day-boat turbot and game, all exquisitely presented. As examples, take these ormers from Brittanny, with mushrooms, watercress and juniper, or Bresse chicken cooked three ways, with red-wine poached pears. An excellent wine list and a knowledgeable sommelier complete the picture.

Aux Terrasses

★ Michelin€€€Creative

After a tour of Saint Philibert Abbey, take a break at this enchanting address. Bare stone walls and large untreated solid oak tables set the scene indoors, flooded in light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. The peaceful garden and the welcome from the chef’s wife are also outstanding. Chef Jean-Michel is an enthusiast, capable of changing his gourmet offering from one table to another in the same evening. His approach is entirely instinctive. His food is thus rich in emotion and establishes a natural complicity with the region, particularly through the use of first-rate local fruit, vegetab

La Marande

In the local dialect, ‘marander’ means ‘go and eat’.

In the southernmost town of Burgundy, this unassuming house in a pedestrian street is home to a benchmark of local gastronomy. The traditional architecture (bare beams and stonework and an old fireplace) is enhanced by contemporary details. Since 1991, Christian Gaulin has been celebrating the classical union of regional produce and modern techniques. Whenever he can, this solid technician sings a subtle ode to Bresse and Burgundy. Foodies can decadently indulge in frogs’ legs ravioli with garlic cream, tender pigeon, the breast roasted on the crown, the thigh confit with shallots, Charolais b

On the doorstep of Mâcon, this 1950s inn has retained its hunting frescoes by the Zuber manufactory and a lovingly maintained historic interior.

You will find a slate menu and ideas based on a seasonal theme, such as a 100% lobster menu. The chef’s creativity extends as far as the signature dessert, which pairs poire tapée (dried pear) with morels and vin jaune Savagnin, embodying the house character and flair. Cosy rooms for o

L'O des Vignes

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

This stone building in the Mâconnais region is surrounded by a landscape of vineyards that extends to the Roche de Solutré. It houses the restaurant of a true Burgundian, Sébastien Chambru, who worked notably at Le Moulin de Mougins. He then headed off to Japan and, in Tokyo, was enthralled by the respect the Japanese chefs had for their ingredients. The author of several cookery books, he now conjures up his delicately creative cuisine here in Fuissé, finding inspiration in the day’s market (marinated and flamed tuna with condiments and beetroot-yuzu vinaigrette for example). In the adjoining

La Table de Chaintré

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

This quintessential country restaurant, tucked away in a picturesque village in the heart of the Pouilly-Fuissé vineyards, is the brainchild of a friendly, industrious couple.

The set menu changes weekly – all

Ed.Em

★ Michelin€€€french

This eatery blends the talents of Édouard, a chef whose CV boasts stints at Quai d’Orsay, Philippe Rochat and Lameloise, and Émilie, a talented pastry chef who adds the final flourish to the fixed set menu. In a swish interior of midnight blue walls, carpets and Art Deco-ish light fixtures, you will sample a score rich in premium produce that is loaded in personality, yet subtly delicate: diver scallops, Jerusalem artichoke and truffles; line-caught seabass, a medley of pumpkin and lemon thyme-flavoured hollandaise sauce… Just the ticket for a gourmet halt on the wine road.

He is also skilled at juxtaposing different textures, in dishes such as tomatoes, fresh smoked goat’s cheese, rose geranium; brill, green peas, girolles, shellfish and melissa jus. Burgundy takes pride of place in the wine cellar and An

Auberge du Cep

★ Michelin€€€Modern Cuisine

This emblematic Beaujolais establishment, which continues to honour its rich legacy, is the HQ of Aurélien Merot. The chef delicately and indulgently pampers regional produce with a soft spot for jus and sauces: slow-baked fario trout from Isère, almonds and sorrel sauce; Bresse poultry cooked in Fleurie wine (the house specialty)… Excellent value for money (the lunchtime menu is a bargain!) plus an impressive wine list.

It's the perfect setting in which to sample Jordan Billan's cuisine, which is rooted in the terroir of Burgundy and showcases the carefully-chosen suppliers. The chef's taste for tradition – think matured Charolais beef, bone marrow and a mustard and tarragon jus – does not prevent him from dreaming up more creative dishes with international influences, such as sole cooked on the bone with shellfish, kasha risotto, seaweed and nashi. Guests will also app

Le Charlemagne

★ Michelin€€€€french

Born in Beaune, Rudy Villien first fell in the love with Le Charlemagne during an internship, so he and his partner, Léa Matéos, leapt at the opportunity to take over this eatery in the heart of the Corton-Charlemagne vineyard. The serene, contemporary interior provides the perfect foil to sample dishes that waver between France and further afield (often Japan) with a personal spin: furikake and caviar aperitif snacks, crab and yuzu kosho smoked tomato, croaker in kaffir lime… The produce comes from a cottage garden, bee hives and cherry-picked suppliers. A creative score that is flanked by a

Le Bouchon Bourguignon

必比登€€Regional Cuisine

Generous, meticulous cuisine inspired by the culinary traditions of Burgundy is served in the contemporary setting of this annexe to Yohann Chapuis's fine dining restaurant. The regional classics are present and more-than-correct: "pâté croûte Maison Greuze", eggs meurette (in a red wine sauce), fresh frogs’ legs in a parsley sauce, Bresse chicken with morels and vin jaune, as well as some “creations” like this féra (whitefish) fillet with chlorophyll and pea risotto, and absinthe-spiked sauce.

La Table Bâgésienne

必比登€€Traditional Cuisine

Behind the spruce façade of this former coaching inn, chef Martin is as comfortable rustling up hearty Bresse cuisine as he is dishes with influences from outside of the region – from chicken liver terrine and crayfish bisque to semi-cooked salmon maki, horseradish mayonnaise or skrei flavoured with sweet spices. The chef extends an invitation to taste new things, in a spirit of discovery echoed by the globes on the tables. This fragrant, skilful and delicate cuisine is an invitation to embark on a journey of the senses. What better way to celebrate sunny weather than with a rum-flambéed banan

Both hail from Le Creusot but met while working for Yohann Chapuis in Tournus. The interior is inspired in part by nature (with, in particular, wallpaper depicting a forest in the mist). The chef, working alone in the kitchen, shows undeniable maturity. Delicacy and finesse are the order of the day, for example, the lovely courgette flower with cod stuffing and the olive oil sabayon accompanying the cod tournedos, or the mackerel and its marinated cucumber ravioli.
