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

A delightful rustic dining room with exposed stonework, beams and a fireplace serves as the setting for the traditional cuisine and dishes fêting the terroir made with vegetables from the adjoining kitchen garden. Dishes such as snails in a mild garlic broth, grilled trout and lamb navarin can be enjoyed by the fireside or on the riverside terrace. Open every day of the week, this convivial and generous restaurant is a real favourite!
