Dinner Restaurant Guide (2025)
L'Auberge Gourmande (Fleurey)
Head chef Christophe learned his craft in such venues as Guy Savoy in Paris, Hotel Negresco in Nice, and Restaurant Fredy Giradet in Switzerland. So his credentials speak volumes. It's no surprise that this restaurant is destined for big things, and we believe this is the “Savoir Vivre” time to visit. Recent menu highlights have included: Eggplant tartare with balsamic vinegar, espuma melon lemon balm. Cromesquis fried ham with parsley, Burgundy escargot, hummus, and wild garlic. Confit of lamb shoulder in kefta stuffed with tomato reduction, rosemary and paprika.
Le Bistrot des Moines at Abbaye De La Bussière (La Bussière-sur-Ouche)
Founded in 1131 and transformed into a luxury Relais et Château hotel, the Abbaye de la Bussière occupies a beguiling canal-side location. The grounds are resplendent with sculptured gardens and lake along with historical delights including an ancient church, crypt, cloister, refectory, farmhouse, dovecote, outhouses, wine press, monastic dwellings and monastic dwellings. This fabulous setting offers our guests a dining opportunity at the informal Le Bistrot des Moines. Local ingredients play off of classic Burgundian recipes in this delightful restaurant and the results are delicious.
Restaurant de la Porte Guillaume at Hotel du Nord (Dijon)
Located in the heart of Dijon, this venue serves up classical flavors of Burgundian cuisine with local flair. A casual ambiance awaits patrons as they linger over rustic dishes such as butter-drizzled escargot, duck with mushroom soufflé, and, of course, Boeuf Bourguignon. Cheese lovers will adore the after-dinner cheese menu with a dozen of the area’s artisanal selections, including the signature Epoisse. Interesting sites abound in this area of Dijon. Not least Porte Guillaume itself, an 18th century ornamental arched city gate resplendent with its allegorical relief sculptures
Le Spuller in the Hotel de Spuller (Sombernon)
Le Spuller is located in the Spuller Hotel in Sombernon, a village of approximately 800 residents nestled in the countryside equidistant from Dijon, Beaune and the Cote d’Or vineyards – talk about location, location, location. The magnificent views offered by its hillside location are a perfect setting to dine at while afternoon turns to evening. The food at Le Spuller is unashamedly simple - elegantly, authentically, and tastefully so. Our guests adore it: the combination of setting, quality of cuisine, and exceptionally friendly service hits all the marks.
L'Oree du Bois (Châteauneuf-en-Auxois)
Châteauneuf-en-Auxois is a beautiful hilltop Medieval village, where from the 14th to the 17th centuries, wealthy Burgundian merchants built luxury residences. One such restored home now houses L’Oree du Bois, a very special French “crêperie”. The crêperie started in the Brittany region but later became widespread across France and are now considered a national dish. These authentic crepes offer a wide range of savory and sweet treats, each made with skill and attention using local ingredients. With its vaulted ceiling, central fireplace and mezzanine dining level and fabulous food, make L’Oree du Bois a firm favourite of Savoir Vivre. Also, a magnificent view point is just a minute's walk away.
Hostellerie du Château - La Table de Guillaume (Châteauneuf-en-Auxois)
Located in the famous, gorgeous hilltop village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, this restaurant has recently been acquired by Chef Guillaume. If this name sounds familiar, it's because he was the former chef of the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Abbaye de la Bussière. His horizons continue to expand with the opening of this restaurant following his successful launch of l'Auberge de Guillaume, which we also visit! We're delighted and proud to support Mr Guillaume; we've worked with him for many years.
