My husband and I are regular visitors of Michelin-starred restaurants. I did not particularly like this restaurant for a few reasons. First, the welcome was so-so. My appetizer, lobster with mango, contained caviar, which I hate, and the caviar was not mentioned on the menu. Fine, I am difficult. Then I chose the chicken, ok, not fantastic, so I ended... More

This is an excellent place for dinner. It's small, perhaps 30 seats, perhaps less. It does not, however, feel crowded, with the tables spaced so that you're not involved in someone else's conversation. The meals are outstanding! Best pigeon I've ever eaten. Salmon perfectly cooked. The cheese cart is fabulous! Wine selections are good and reasonably priced. If your plans... More

A very nice restaurant close to the hotel de hospice, that creates gastronomic dishes of a very high quality. We had a very nice evening. Two observations to the restaurant management: • Consider to add a sommelier to the staff who is able to provide a good advice for a wine - food pairing. • The service staff seemed stressed... More

Even if the setting is not fabulous (room is a bit small, toilets is at the end of the corridor with open doors to the kitchen), the atmosphere is very nice, quite relax but you have the feeling that you're going to have a good time. Service and staff are excellent. Vey nice, very helpful but not too much. Food... More

This place was over the top great. Everything was first rate and art on the plate. Had the crawfish and veal app, followed by the sole, and the chocholate cake, my wife had the salmon. All were among the best we had ever eaten. The service was first rate but dont expect a fast meal, its a michelin starred french... More

This Michelin starred restaurant lived up to my expectations. It was my second visit here and was even better than the first time. The cuisine is inventive and delicious. The staff are first rate, the wine selection is excellent. No complaints and i'll be back.

The boss and I had dinner at Le Benaton in early May 2013. The restaurant is not large and it was not full but the service was painfully slow throughout the meal - sometimes there was no-one front of house at all. Indeed, after an hour it seemed that the manager decided to take the night off and she showed... More

Had a very good meal here, but the ambience was not as good as the food. Friendly service and nice presentation. Nothing out of the ordinary, though. There are plenty of restaurants in Beaune to choose from.

We had a superb Sunday mid-day meal here and it is easy to see why the restaurant is so favorably reviewed. We both had the Saveur (Flavors) Menu at 54 E with 2 choices at the appetizer and entree (they also served an amuse bouche and tasty bread). The entree choices were Pigeon (boneless) and Salmon. Every course was elegantly... More

Beaune is blessed with many fine restaurants but we dined in the best for a week and this was the best for food, atmosphere and service. It was a delight.
