15.5/20

Remarkable Restaurant With the great Burgundy stages now less numerous than in the past, we won't deprive ourselves of the pleasures of this beautiful house with its flower-filled garden on the outskirts of Chalonnais. Its chef, Cédric Burtin, has worked hard to raise it to this level. Cédric's commitment to the region, his emphasis on products and the professionalism of his entire team are a credit to the entire urban area. Gastronomic codes are respected to the letter for a clientele of regulars who appreciate attention and liturgy. You'll appreciate the appetizers praising the Crisenon beef and trout, with its beurre blanc flavored with fir trees. We let ourselves be carried away by the blind menus, with no choice other than the price (€90 to €225 depending on the moment), hoping that one day, a menu will return. And we're happy to salute a cuisine that's certainly worth three toques: roasted green asparagus with hollandaise smoke, bear garlic asparagus tartare, herb and asparagus coulis, Arctic char (a "marshmallow" at the beginning, delicious as a river candy) with its knife and shell marinière, before the pigeon which, unexpectedly, is the real highlight of the meal, roasted blue on a chest, strawberry verbena, confit leg, crunchy peas, stuffed spring onion, fresh strawberry pea salad... A powerful dish, well thought out and beautifully presented, before the pleasant strawberry-rhubarb-melissa dessert with a puffed wheat sabayon. And if, as is the case in many gourmet restaurants, authenticity is the order of the day, with the young waiters reciting "the chef's childhood" or "the chef's father", using superlatives and emphases ("magnificent" being thrown around on every dish), the service remains both professional and good-natured, under the guidance of the excellent Matthieu Martinache, director and sommelier, assisted by Sadik Muhaimin, who won a Gault&Millau Tour award a few years ago. A robust Burgundy cellar, with fair prices and a sufficiently varied range of wines by the glass.
