Cozy, intimate and warm atmosphere. We sat at the communal table. We were fortunate to share the table with friendly people and ended up sharing several wonderful wines together.
The food was beautifully presented, well balanced and delicious. This place comes well recommended.

I found the food lovely but not stunning or worth the price and our overall dining experience was uncomfortable and insulting.
food: We opted for the tasting menu which included three starters, two mains and a dessert. portions were quite small. Hake dish included minced hake, minced to same size as the apples and potatoes or was mixed with, but there were far more apples and potatoes than fish, we had a very difficult time finding any fish to be honest. the other fish dish was essentially a doughy fish poached meatball, which had a slight fish flavor, served in a delicious sauce, but the fish was but an essence. rabbit ravioli was very tasty but was but one single ravioli. the other items i don't recall.
value: I ordered two glasses of wine, they had 3 reds only by the glass and I was told the first two were natural (and hence "funky") so only one red was a refined option. our check came to 162€ with two dinners and two glasses of wine. we were still a little hungry.
service: I made our reservations 2 months prior and we were the first guests to arrive when they opened. despite that, we were seated on a plank of wood over a well on high chairs, facing a wall with our backs to the other guests and the outside dining area, with no room for our long legs. it was awkward and uncomfortable. when I asked to be moved to an empty table for two I was refused. I guess we weren't good enough for an actual table? they also wanted to serve my red Bourgogne wine in a tiny ISO glass and take away the red Bourgogne glass from the "table". what the heck!?
as I write this, I'm actually a little angry and offended at the overall experience we had and cannot recommend this restaurant, nor would I return.
We had a much more pleasant dining experience at La Lune for a fraction of the price.

Tried the Bourgogne plat du jour. Every dish was wonderful and served at the right temperature. Snails hot, bread and cheese not cold. Friendly, efficient service. The eggs were something I wanted to try as it is very local, but I personally liked some other preparations I tried in white wine cream or porcini sauce. Beautiful setting.

Service was a bit snobby at first. This changed when the owner came in and gave a friendly hello to all the guest in the restaurant. Sommelier was nice! Food was really good. Had the lunch menu with a friend and it’s a 5/5 price/quality wise.

Everything was perfect! The back garden where we ate was really nice; the food and the wine were amazing.

De Passage a Beaune, Très bonne adresse, mais je n'en doutais pas ayant été conseillé par un ami.
Super RQP, vins au verres très sympathiques, personnel avenant et souriant et cuisinier qui est venu saluer chaque table.
Allez si j'ai un petit bémol à apporter : le dessert j'ai trouvé que la rose l'emportait sur la fraise, c'est la seule petite ombre au tableau, sans vraiment gâcher l'expérience

The tasting menu and the wine list were very good. The only downside is that the tables are too close together.

Très bonne cuisine, bien que relativement simple. Lieu sympathique, le service est un peu léger somme toute et surtout très lent. Rapport qualité-prix surfait. Dommage.

A bustling restaurant packed with flavor and innovation. The casual atmosphere and small space belies sophisticated food and an outstanding wine list that the sommelliere navigated easily to find perfect wines.

Wir haben hier mit einer Gruppe von 11 Personen ein Degustationsmenü geniessen dürfen. Super Qualität, netter Service, spannende Gerichte und eine riesige Weinkarte. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und konnten den Abend vollumfänglich geniessen. Wir werden bestimmt wieder vorbeikommen, wenn wir in Beaune sind.

Une belle adresse à Beaune ! Une équipe jeune et dynamique avec une belle attention. Le chef prend le temps de reconnaître ses clients ce qui est très appréciable pour l'expérience.

I had a great meal here, wonderful little spot that only seats about 30-people. Reservations are a must but you’ll be glad you made the effort. That wine list is fantastic! It’s incredibly hard to settle on just one bottle.

The real draw for us, though, is their exceptional wine list. This is a place where the same wine on their list would be available for 3-4x elsewhere. This is why it’s very difficult to secure a table. I suggest booking as early as possible.
The drawback is that being in summer, we sat out back where other patrons were smoking heavily. It took away from enjoying the wine. Ideally the smoking area is separate enough so non-smokers are not affected.
