Au Charme D'ici

This tranquil watermill by a millstream abuts a cottage garden. After growing up in the Charolais countryside, chef Cédric Burtin, who trained with world-calibre Lyon chefs of the ilk of Paul Bocuse and Pierre Orsi, has come into his own as he explores the cornucopia of Burgundy. In addition to a savvily mastered creative streak, this authentic, delicate chef has a flair for adding a playful spin to the region’s ingredients and recipes. His surprise menu rolls out delicacies such as whitefish from Lake Geneva, confit and smoked with whitefish charcuterie, runner beans and a jus made from fishb

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

The tradition of hospitality is kept alive in this elegant house situated in the middle of extensive grounds dissected by a river. Here, chef Philippe Augé creates carefully prepared cuisine based on classic principles, resulting in dishes such as green carnaroli risotto with frogs’ legs and snails, calf sweetbreads with petits pois à la française and lime-leaf vinegar jus, and a Grand Marnier soufflé with blood orange sorbet. Make sure you save space for the cheese trolley which includes several dozen varieties! Impressive Burgundy wine list.

This 18C manor house with a pink façade and Italianate columns overlooking the Saône valley is aptly named! With his wife, a sommelier and the daughter of winegrowers, Romuald Fassenet has turned this Classical edifice into a pared-back designer establishment with a handful of charming guestrooms providing overnight accommodation near Dole. His bold, appetising food reveals his genuine passion for the Jura terroir (in fact, he was sous-chef to chef Jean-Paul Jeunet) and is based on a sound mastery of technical skills. He makes superb sauces with Jura vin jaune; AOC poularde de Bresse, morels,

In the heart of a wine-growing Jura village, opposite the town hall, the modern architecture of this restaurant is depicted by wood, glass, steel and zinc. It is run by a youthful team of associates, most of whom have been mates since high school, including chef Vivien Sonzogni and his wife, Noémie. He draws on his experience (Le Château at Germigney, Le Parc at Besançon, Caprice in Hong Kong and Scotland’s Gleneagles) to craft a contemporary score that invariably showcases local produce (snails roasted in garlic butter with foamy curd cheese; Bresse poultry, vin jaune and tarragon sauce, etc.

On Place Carnot, not far from the Hôtel-Dieu, this restaurant with a modern façade occupies the ground floor of a picturesque old house. After stints with Robuchon and Ducasse, chef Christophe Quéant crafts modern, seasonal cuisine based on traditional textbook foundations. His top-quality ingredients are transformed into spot-on, straightforward dishes, blessedly free of fancy frills. The contemporary-style dining room, which sports a beige colour scheme and exposed stonework, is the perfect foil for delicious dishes such as sole fillets with mushrooms and tender leaves, or the Madagascan van

This elegant winegrower's manor house with a plush feel and bags of character is set in a leafy garden where tables are laid out in summer... 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.
