Nice cosy terrace in the heart of Beaune. Good wine selection and very decent food. The ravioli was lovely and the steak tartere (which you mix with the sauce yourself) was fresh. Also the plat du jour (fish & chips) was superfresh...

This restaurant was wonderful. The prices are good. The food was excellent, service was impeccable, professional and friendly. Really enjoyed my time here. I highly recommend it. I had the Beef Bourguignon and my wife had chicken tenders and frits.
