Vegetarians don’t do well in France. Whereas in England we now make up over 10% of diners, there are probably only about only about 30 French vegetarians—well, maybe a few more than that, but truly very few. Any Michelin rated chef has a set of skills and a complement of market fresh ingredients in his kitchen to satisfy the needs of any such guest. The trouble is that they often just don’t get it. I ate with friends last week at this one star restaurant near Chalon sur Saône. My starter, a butternut squash soup was promising, but while my friends tucked into their mains of succulent meat with fresh vegetables and elegant rings of duchesses potatoes—well prepared and presented—I was presented with a plate of three vegetable rolls wrapped in Savoy cabbage leaves. They sat there like three green deposits left by an anxious dog on a short walk. The term vegetable roll is generous. It implies variety. In fact, the inside was just the same as the outside: Savoy cabbage. And that, folks, was all that was on my plate, like a bad joke in a B movie. Generally, there was no further excitement. Puddings were fine and coffee served with a small selection of OK petit fours. You might want to avoid the cheese course as the cart of largely unpasteurised cheeses was left outside on the terrace uncovered for the duration of our meal, subject to the attention of the local flies. My compatriots did seem to enjoy their meal and seemed less concerned than I about the cheese issue I did write about the above points directly to the chef afterwards but I am still waiting for the courtesy of a reply. Frankly, there is a sufficient choice of alternative eateries in this part of France that you might choose to look elsewhere particularly if you don’t eat meat.
Simple menu, refined food with quality products sourced from select producers, huge wine menu with explanatory maps and close to flawless service in a very pleasant setting on the terrace. All the courses were excellent but the foie gras was out of this world and as a matter of fact, it is the Chef's specialty. Soumaintrin, Epoisses, Cône du Morvan, were among the locally well known and tasty cheeses from the trolley. The Comté aged 32 months is perfectly matured as well. In a nutshell, worth every penny and well deserved Michelin star. Deserves a second Michelin star!
One approaches this fine old water mill through a Japanese style garden with bamboo, raked gravel and running water. This theme is evident in the excellent cuisine which has the presentational elegance of Japan and a hint that country’s approach to food. Service is excellent, helpful but unobtrusive. The wine list is good with a fair range to suit most pockets. As far as the menu was concerned, we had the chef’s choice nine courses and were happy with what we experienced. The Michelin star is well deserved.
Déjeuner servi avec des amis suivant le menu recommandé par le chef. Un service tranquille, à l'extérieur de la Terrasse de style japonais. Excellente cuisine inventive élégamment présentée avec une pléthore de saveurs et de textures. Excellente liste de vins avec quelques bons vins locaux à des prix raisonnables.
