Every time we go here we have a great time. The food is always better than I expect. I don't know why but looking at the place I don't expect the food to hit on all cylinders as it does. The owner has a very good sense of humor and is a joy to converse with. The wines which you... More

from other reviews we were determined to dine here. Finally found someone on site pre dinner and were able to book for that night. (and as we found out whilst dining there were probably 20 turned away, as it has a communal table for 14 , and only another 13 covers) So we made our selections from the limited al-la... More

Great classic french food and reasonably priced. The owner was very knowledgeable and informative about the wines and the preparation of the foods. Service was great and we liked that the wines were stocked all around you and you can just pick one! (and since they sell wines retail, you get a good deal! We really liked the atmosphere and...

After a fun day of wine tasting, our guide informed us of this place as being the only place to dine in Beaune. We were apparently not behaving to the owners expectations and sat unwaited on for over a half hour. Two tables were seated after us and got immediate service. When we finally pleaded to order I did enjoy... More

This is a typical French restaurant. Must meet Laurent ("Lolo") Brelin, the owner and discuss wines with him. Allow him to choose a wine for you

A delightful last night in Beaune! Excellent atmosphere, small, cozy, wines on the walls and the best meal in all of Beaune! Service was outstanding, knowledgable of wine and the evening's dishes. Beautifully presented and a delight to the taste - great pairings with wines either by the glass or bottle (available for puchase or corkage). There was a passion... More

We were lucky to get a reservation here! The place is very cozy--the menu is written on a chalkboard and walls are lined with bottles of wine that you can select and drink at your table. The food is wonderful, authentic and delicious. Lovely escargot. Like most french restaurants, the pace is leisurely and unrushed. Our waiter spoke English, but... More

We had a wonderful meal and experience at Madeleine. So much so that we returned the next night!! A cozy little space with a wall of wines alone one side which form the 'wine shop'. You can purchase wines at retail prices with a 6E corkage charge. The owner Lulu is very passionate about the wines as well as being... More

This is always part of our dinner plans, no matter what. The food is authentic regional food, using local produce and meats, and the menu changes daily. The restaurant is set a few steps below the street level, with a communal table and 4-top tables. The small restaurant has great ambience, with one entire wall filled with wine bottles for... More
