About the restaurant
Aux Terrasses is a one-Michelin-star restaurant with rooms in Tournus, on the Saône about 45 minutes south of Beaune, and it held a Michelin Green Star for its sustainable approach until the guide retired that award in May 2026. Jean-Michel Carrette writes his menus around the day's deliveries from local producers. Go for inventive, product-led cooking and an unusual list of natural wines.
The story
Michel and Henriette Carrette built the reputation of the house, and Michel won its star in 1999. Their son Jean-Michel, trained at the Poligny hotel school, at La Tour Rose in Lyon and with the Troisgros family, took over in January 2005 after his father's death and has kept the star ever since.
With Amandine Carrette, his partner in the business, he has made the house a reference for responsible hospitality: the Green Star arrived in 2020, and Aux Terrasses now has twenty rooms and suites as well as its restaurant. With a second starred table in town, Tournus is an unusually rewarding stop between Beaune and Mâcon.
The cooking
The cooking is personal and inventive, anchored in Burgundy but open to wider influences. Carrette works with small local producers, and the menu can change from one service to the next according to what arrives. The wine list favours rare natural wines from Burgundy, the Jura and elsewhere, and an alcohol-free pairing called Botanique is offered alongside the wine pairings.
