Maison Lameloise

One of the legendary addresses of French gastronomy — a three-Michelin-starred institution in the Côte Chalonnaise town of Chagny, maintained across three generations by the Lameloise family and now under chef Eric Pras. The cuisine is a refined, technically brilliant celebration of Burgundian produce; the wine list is among the finest in France, with extraordinary depth across premier and grand cru Côte d'Or appellations. The eight-course tasting menu with Burgundy wine pairing is the definitive luxury dining experience in the region.

La Côte Saint-Jacques

A multi-Michelin-starred gastronomic hotel-restaurant on the banks of the Yonne River in Joigny, north of Burgundy. The Lorain family has maintained this celebrated institution for decades with extraordinary technical refinement and one of the most comprehensive wine cellars in France. The hotel rooms and suites overlook the river; the cuisine celebrates the produce of the Yonne valley and the Chablis wine country immediately to the south. A genuine pilgrimage destination for serious gastronomes.

Restaurant William Frachot

Dijon's most celebrated restaurant, holding two Michelin stars in the elegant setting of the Hôtel du Chapeau Rouge near the city centre. William Frachot's seasonal cuisine is a refined and technically accomplished celebration of Burgundian produce — Bresse poultry AOP, Burgundy snails, seasonal wild mushrooms from the Morvan, and exceptional local cheeses — paired with a wine selection focused exclusively on the appellations of Bourgogne.

Chef: William Frachot

Loiseau des Vignes

The Beaune wine bar and restaurant of the Relais Bernard Loiseau group, with 1 Michelin star. The most accessible Michelin-starred experience in the Beaune area, with an outstanding selection of premier and grand cru wines from the Côte de Beaune poured by the glass or carafe and matched with intelligent, ingredient-driven Burgundian cuisine in a contemporary townhouse setting. The wine list alone is worth the visit.
