We returned to L'Amaryllis about 2 1/2 months after it gained its second star and for the third time overall. The cuisine has evolved a little the asparagus starter and sloew cooked trout were truly excellent, the Saint Pierre and the lamb were very good. The honey croustillant was fine, but the rhubarb dessert was a bit daring on the sour side and I could see that not only our table was not convinced, our guests weren't either. The wine list remains superb with a fair amount of bargains our bottle of Coche Dury Les Rougeots 2015 was sublime...... service was a little inconsistent, and the attempt to up sell us to the signature menu of the chef at the time or order was not all that professional...
The Amaryllis is undoubtedly one of the best dining experiences available close to Chalon, although the wider area includes some equally splendid and more atmospheric restaurants. Dining is either completely indoors, in a mill themed but rather dark room (better for winter evenings), a light, modern conservatory looking over the garden, or in the summer a Japanese style terrace outside. Staff buzz around and look after you from beginning to end. Menus are limited and the contents are not stated. Good news, in that the chef can choose what is best, but less good if you like to pick and choose. In addition, all diners at a table must have the same menu so there may be some debate if some want to eat more than others. The food is not cheap, and it is essentially a matter of deciding how many courses you want, right up to the tasting menu at 150€. Wine is not cheap either, so a bottle of good local wine which would cost 40€ elsewhere tends to be about 65€ here. The food itself was a wonderful collection of small, individual dishes, of which some were outstanding and others good enough. Overall I am not completely convinced that the price is justified by the product, but we had an excellent meal, and I would consider the Amaryllis again for a special occasion. The restaurant demands a pre reservation of 70€ per person. This is not charged, but held in case of a no show or late cancellation. Booking online is strongly recommended.
We had had dinner in Cedric Burtin 's Amaryllis in 2017 and recently returned, with our 'Pass sanitaire '. I think we slightly preferred the menu four years ago, although the foie gras starter was very good and the local trout even better. The remaining dishes were just good. Service was a little uneven it shows that many restaurants have not been able to recruit back staff of the 'old guard ' from before the first lockdowns in early 2020. The wine list is great and offers some relative bargains such as a Meursault 2010 Coche Dury Rougeots which we had superb and better with every sip..... Cedric Burtin explained to us after the meal how he smokes his 'beurre au foin '..... which is pretty addictive butter.
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.
Splendid lunch with friends following the menu recommend by the chef. Well paced, quiet service outside on the Japanese-styled Terrace. Excellent, inventive cooking stylishly presented with a plethora of flavours and textures. Excellent wine list with some good local wines at reasonable prices.
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.
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!
