Gault&Millau's review2026
The Maison Lameloise, alongside its more famous Burgundian compatriots Relais Bernard Loiseau and Côte Saint-Jacques, is the perfect embodiment of the great history of French gastronomy, of those old coaching inns that have stood the test of time, never wavering, proudly bearing the colors of their region and of haute gastronomy. In 2009, Jacques Lameloise passed on the torch to MOF Eric Pras, who has skilfully taken up his predecessor's mantle, highlighting the region's terroir while modernizing it with small touches, as if never rushing a clientele who, for the most part, travel to Chagny to add another great table to their travel diaries. In these small lounges, where attention is plentiful and the staff plentiful, the plates follow one another without necessarily provoking excessive enthusiasm, as if the chef's perfect technique sometimes tended to take over from emotion, but the four toques remain solid, this is particularly true of the beautiful Mediterranean shrimp veiled in a Bresse cream nage, caramelized fennel broth and Morvan cazette, and the very fine milk-fed veal, offered in two courses, roasted with acacia flower and sweetbreads with garlic praline. The dessert is both technical and balanced, with chocolate, blackcurrant, ginger and roasted vanilla, and the cellar of a great house, both immense and very well recommended for a moment that, let's be in no doubt, remains out of the ordinary.
