It has a real pedigree as a restaurant: between 2011 and 2018 Thomas Collomb and then Angelo Ferrigno cooked here, and in 2016 Ferrigno became the youngest chef in France to win a star that year. Vincent Gomis was born in French Guiana and learnt his trade in Carcassonne under Franck Putelat before joining the three-star kitchen of Le Bristol in Paris, where he met Marie-Cécile, who comes from the Nièvre. After working together for Eric Fréchon, they spent several years in Saint-Barthélemy before returning to Burgundy for their first restaurant of their own. ## The cooking The couple describe their style as roots and influences: Burgundian foundations, flavours from further south and a lively seasoning that keeps each plate sharp. They buy French meat, line-caught fish from Breton and Mediterranean fishermen and vegetables from committed market gardeners, and the menus change with the seasons. Everything is served as a tasting sequence that moves from savoury to sweet. The wine list mixes organic and biodynamic bottles with fine Burgundy and gives particular prominence to women winemakers, from the Côte de Nuits to the Hautes-Côtes. ## Good to know The official site lists a lunch menu from about 59 euros, served Wednesday to Saturday except public holidays, and longer menus in the evening; it also warns that the menus shown may not be current, so check the website before booking. Allow at least two hours, and note that the menus are not designed for vegetarian, vegan or lactose-free diets. There is a small patio terrace for fine weather. The old town's narrow streets make parking awkward, and a private driver lets you take the pairing and head straight back to your hotel. Telephone: [+33 3 80 45 59 25](tel:+33380455925) ## Did you know? Two earlier chefs of this house, Thomas Collomb and Angelo Ferrigno, now hold MICHELIN stars of their own, at La Rôtisserie du Chambertin in Gevrey and at CIBO in Dijon. ## How the evening works 1. **Book your table**: Directly with the restaurant. Weekends, the harvest and the Hospices de Beaune auction in November fill up weeks ahead. 2. **Book the car**: Choose the restaurant on our booking page: pickup at your hotel at the time you like, and a fixed price for the return trip. 3. **Back to your hotel**: Your driver waits nearby while you dine, up to 3 hours, then drives you home.
