Gault&Millau's review 2026

It’s always a pleasure to return to Georges Blanc. To sit on this tree-lined square, in the heart of the “Village Blanc,” to make yourself at home in this family-run restaurant, to walk past the chefs on your way to the dining room—so warm, comforting, one might almost say “loving.” For in the history of this restaurant—intimately linked to that of its owner, the dean of our Academy—the generosity of the regional cuisine is also that of the Blanc family. We’ve been enjoying Bresse cuisine and drinking Burgundy wine for decades, with the same delight and pleasure. And celebration is a recurring theme, whether it’s for a newlywed couple or a large table bringing generations together for the meal of the year. The extensive menu unfolds (yet another standout feature that contrasts sharply with those fussy menus on trays—or, when they’re simply not provided at all)—and our mouths are already watering as we look forward to these dishes that strike just the right balance between staying current and drawing on tradition: surf-and-turf crab with shellfish juices and Bresse saffron, rainbow trout “à la marinière” with aromatic herbs, milk-fed veal with sweetbreads and Osciètre caviar—not to mention, of course, the Vonnassian crêpes and Elisa Blanc’s Bresse poultry, which have been the restaurant’s hallmarks for ages. The set menus are very appealing, and the five-course option for €290 is an excellent introduction, ending, for example, with garden-fresh strawberries and a spiced agastache espuma. The wine cellar is quite impressive, offering an almost exhaustive selection of Burgundy wines, while also featuring all the country’s finest vintages.
