Le Rive De Saone

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."

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.

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. Guests will also app

After a glittering career in the region, youthful Rémi Genot has returned to his roots in this famous wine-growing village. He pays homage to local producers and showcases fine cuts of meat prepared by his father in the next-door butchers. As comfortable working with vegetables as with fish and meat, he creates meticulous dishes, packed in colour and character. 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

This bistro on the main boulevard sports a distinctive contemporary decor complete with wooden floors, black and white striped walls and photos of the stars of French cinema enjoying good food. Cooking has no secrets for the chef who rustles up a spot-on, frequently renewed market-fresh menu. Given the location in Beaune, you won't be surprised to learn that the cellar boasts over 1000 labels – so drink up!
