Le Bistrot Bourguignon - Beaune

Dear friends of TripAdvisor, last Saturday night my girlfriend and I were looking for a light dinner in Beaune city centre. We tried to approach this Bistrot there were tables available and one was reserved for 9.30 for 4 people. But a Lady immediately stopped us saying in an unpleasant way that it was Saturday and they were tired. So she thought a little a bit again ( a couple of second) and repeated:"yes we are tired... sorry but we don't take other people...".So call in advance to reserve a table and please hope they won't be tired of doing their job... they are making you a favor to serve you...

Loved the feel of this place. Could easily have stayed for a few glasses of wine after my meal if we'd not have been staying outside of Beaune and needed to drive.The food and wine were delicious and service very good.I had the snails to start followed by a delicious (and very generous portion) of veal for my main. Would love to have tackled a dessert as they looked delicious but sadly had no room left.

The weather was warm and wet. So inside rather than Al Fresco! The restaurant is a small establishment in a town that is worth a visit as well for anyone liking food and wine. Seating is arranged outside under shades, just inside the door and a room at the rear. We sat near the bar inside the door at a small table for two. The plate de jour menu was small but it is after all just lunch. I had the steak, mashed potatoes with a light creamy mustard yummy sauce followed by lavender flavoured icecream and slices of fresh nectarine topped with a little cream. Beautiful! The medium rare steak was perfect and the mashed potatoes were to die for. They had cream in them topped with chopped chives. Washed it all down with a glass of chilled local rose' wine. My wife had the same but a well presented creme brulee for dessert. €14 each for the food. Not at all bad!Service was excellent and multilingual, so I understood the menu perfectly. Toilet facilities were out the back which was 'interesting'. Clean and fresh but getting to it was past all the restaurant storage and 'stuff'!Looking about the tables I saw many dishes that I would like to try sometime. They all looked like mine - superb. Would I return - you bet I would! Maybe next time I'll get a chance to read all the material on the walls that gives the restaurant a bit of the past character.

Joli cadre, accueil sympathique et service agréable. La carte des vins est impressionnante. La cuisine est simple et bonne !

Atmosphère typique et relaxante, service agréable, très bon repas et carte des vins au top ! Restaurant déal pour bien manger et découvrir des vins lors d'une soirée entre amis.
