The 16 best spots for fried chicken in Beaune

We dined at Le Bistro de L'Hôtel and opted for the tasting menu for two, primarily for the highly sought-after Bresse chicken, a dish that is hard to come by despite its premium price. Given the cost, I expected the restaurant to be classified as fine dining; however, the service did not meet the standards one would anticipate from such an establishment. While the food itself was delicious, the service fell short, lacking even the basic attentiveness one might find at a casual bistro. Here are a few specific points that contributed to our disappointing experience: Reservation and Seating: I made a reservation online over a month in advance, complete with a credit card deposit. On the day of our visit, I was the first to arrive, yet we were seated at a table directly in front of the staircases—far from an ideal spot. It was disheartening to see later arrivals being assigned more desirable seats by the windows, particularly when they were a party of two. Service and Communication: Each dish was served by a different waiter or waitress, and none of them took the time to introduce the dishes. This lack of communication left us unsure about what we were eating unless we referred to the tasting menu ourselves. For a restaurant of this caliber, I consider this to be a fundamental oversight. Bresse Chicken Service: When the Bresse chicken was served, the staff began cutting it beside our table without any notification. We had no idea the chicken being prepared was for us until we saw someone slicing it. Clear communication in this regard is crucial, especially in a fine dining setting. Wine Pricing: The wine prices were excessively marked up, reaching up to three times the normal retail price. While it's common for restaurants to mark up wine, a threefold increase is excessive and should be approached with caution if you plan to enjoy a bottle during your visit. Overall, our experience at Le Bistro de L'Hôtel was quite disappointing, and I cannot recommend it. The combination of excellent food and subpar service left much to be desired. For a restaurant that positions itself as fine dining, the service should be equally refined to match the quality of the food.

Fabulous meal! Amazing service and extremely voluminous wine menu. The waiters were always attentive. We came for the bresse chicken and it was definitely worth it. The patio was lovely.

Four of us at the hotel and on the second night decided to try their bistro. We are so glad we did. The service, quality of food and wine selection was amazingly top shelf. Of course we enjoyed the roast chicken for two which was out of this world. We also enjoyed fresh cod, veal kidneys, escargot and the best frites we have experienced yet. Wine selection is massive. The staff were very attentive the whole night and enhanced our experience. Highly recommend and worthy of the 5 star rating. They earned it. .

We made the booking by stopping by in person while only the pizza place attached next door was open. I thought for sure they would say “just call back later” but the guy at the pizza place walked out, around the corner and in to the closed restaurant to get the bookings register to take our reservation. We ordered the chefs tasting and a bottle of wine. They did a spin on the Bourgogne oeuf by serving it with a heap of truffles and the Bresse chicken was whole roasted and carved tableside, quite spectacular. The crepe Suzette was also flambeed tableside. Best combination of food and service we received over four days eating in Beaune. I would go back once on every visit.

The Bresse whole roast chicken was easily one of the best meals I have ever eaten. With plenty to share between two of us, the chicken was carved at the table and served in it's own juices. A totally unique flavour.

Ok. This is a must visit restaurant if you are into classic Burgundy cuisine. The food is fantastic and the wine list makes you drool just to peruse it. Dining here is not inexpensive but oh is it worth the splurge. The Bresse chicken for 2ppl is the single greatest chicken dish I have ever tasted. It is carved tableside with such mastery that it looks like you are watching a video played back in high speed. As appetizers we had White Asparagus and Snails; for entrees the Charolais Côte de Boeuf (for 2) and Poulet de Bresse (for 2). The beef was great but GET THE BRESSE. Really.

It's not often that a restaurant experience ticks every single box, but this one does. The menu and wine list lived up to every expectation. I credit the wonderful ambience to the staff, who manage to be efficient, sweet and courteous under pressure. I will go out of my way to visit again.

Fab little wine and tapas bar with excellent food (best panisse ever) and great wine by the glass. Booking advised. We were unluckily seated next to some very loud people from across the pond but the staff were swift to move us and we had a great evening.

Excellent food, great hospitality and a warm atmosphere. And of course an exceptional wine list (including lots of rotating by the glass options) leaning heavily toward organic and biodynamic producers. We loved it so much we came back for a second evening.

We popped in here for lunch, and yet again just superb food and wine to be had! We were very lucky to eat terrine, charcuterie and the sublime Haricots Vert in garlic oil - the best green beans we have ever had! All the reviews are spot-on with the recognition of the friendly staff and vibe!

When a pick from Google Maps turns out good you feel pleased. This is exactly what happened. One of the most sublime dinners. Each dish was great. The standout was the pork and the salad- especially the salad. Had some excellent wine by the glass. An Aligoté in white and a natural one in red. The biggest standout was the service from Yuka- thank you. July 2024

Probably the best place in the whole Beaune. Incredible wine choice, so big that you pick your bottle with the host, having a chat to assess your favorite choices. Service is straightforward, that shows confidence on how tasty everything is, you just want to discover more. Only good and down-to-earth people are coming here, we shared a bottle with a random couple next to us ❤️ can’t wait to come back!

Really good small plates perfect for sharing. It’s simple food but well made with fresh ingredients. Fantastic list of natural wines.

Mega good time! Fantastic dinner, super kitchen with local ingredients and very crafty chef. Goes without saying — the wine list is very impressive and a perfect match to the food. Very casual vibes inside, pleasant contrast to often stuffy Burgundy restaurants. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, it’s sold out every night.

Terrible service - don't waste your time here with so many better choices nearby! The owner clearly doesn't care about customers or being nice ("eat, now pay & get out!"). Place was almost empty and he was "very busy" sharing a bottle with his friends at another table... We asked for suggestions on the wine list and he literally replied "Pick whatever, I don't have 1 hour to waste...". In a wine bar!!! So we just ordered a salad and a glass of wine and felt so unwelcome that we left to have dinner somewhere else ("Caves de la Madeleine", next door), where we had a super nice evening! tl;dr: salad was ok and the wine selection is great, too bad the owner has zero interest in his non-local customers.

Excellent French food. And a wine lise that you can get lost in.

While the wine shop part might deserve 4 or even 5 stars, the restaurant certainly does not. The food is good, but quite overpriced for what you get. Especially today's meal of the day was an example for this: Porc meat of a quality that is definitely not keeping up with what I am used from restaurants in France for a solid 28€. The charcuterie was surely good but also nothing that we found for a considerably lower price elsewhere. The wine selection was excellent. Service friendly and welcoming.

Really have no idea how this restaurant has positive reviews. We should have taken notice of several warning signs and left before having a terrible, overpriced meal. 1. Out of perhaps 20 people in the restaurant, very few were French 2. I ordered a 2015 (good vintage) wine only to have the proprietor, after going to his cave, bringing a 2016 vintage and telling me that it was comparable 3. The menu had only one choice for a plat 4. One of the two page menu was devoted to advertising canned goods that they had for sale The restaurant advertises itself as being farm to table. The haricot salad appeared to contain canned beans that were for sale in the restaurant - in addition to 1/2 of the menu being devoted to advertising canned goods for sale, one wall of the restaurant had the goods on display. Further, most of these products were canned sardines, etc from Portugal and Spain The one main dish on the menu, confit canard, was too salty to eat and we left about half. Our experience in eating in small restaurants in France is that the proprietors will ask you if everything is good. In this case, even though we left a large amount of food on the plate, the owner never asked whether we liked the food. After paying, I told him that I was going to write a negative review and he did not seem to care. There are many excellent restaurants in Bourgogne, do not waste your money on this place

Went there after dinner for their wines and was tempted to a pork dish which was really delicious

We had 5 wines by the glass, didn't like any of them (unlike the four other wine bars). Food is mostly canned products from the shop. Doesn't seem like a good option in Beaune.

Friendly welcome and warm ambiance. Outstanding wine list. Delicious food using local.ingredients. Outstanding cheese. Overall, a fun, memorable meal.

Great wine bar! Great collection of wines reasonable priced and a small menu with food that works good with wine.

They have incredible wine list - we found very old wines

Great place! The aesthetic is amazing. They were very kind, the food and wine was incredible!

Awesome wine bar with a fanrastic list including some very prestgious tasters

Incredible selection of wines, friendly staff, good food. It is a casual setting, which I like. the food is good but not extraordinary and therefore the pricing of the food is in my opinion too steep recently. Also the door does not close properly, so in the colder months, sitting close to the door can be uncomfortable, as there is a constant current of cold air (maybe a curtain could help?).

The setting is beautiful and atmosphere was lovely. We had a delicious and reasonably priced bottle of wine here from a very large wine menu with a vast range of types and price tags. We decided not to eat our dinner here given the small choice of small plates (of mostly meats and cheeses) but enjoyed some delicious pittas with humour. The service was a little slow but worth the wait. Recommend a visit here in the beautiful Beaune!

Nice backyard to have a drink in warm weather, and a very decent chacuterie plate.

The restaurant was recommended to us by friends. The rating on Google Maps is also inviting. The only restaurant in this Beaune suburb promises a high standard. Few places inside and outside require a reservation. The menu offers classic French cuisine. There is a choice of three three-course menus, which, depending on the price, enable an ever-increasing selection of dishes from the menu. We were very satisfied with the appetizer and dessert. The main course weakened significantly and fell off. Unfortunately, the service was also a bit rustic and not of the level that we had hoped for. On Friday I was out of the rabbit hole, which was communicated without sympathy. The cutlery was also rather "thrown down" than lovingly placed. There was no rose by the glass. All in all a maximum of 4 stars

Amazing little hidden place outside Beaune, incredible experience!

Very nice restaurant, good food but service took a little too long.

Whoever said OMG just book and go was spot on . If you're looking for a terrific traditional burgundy experience in a warm ambiance at a generous price look no further . Œufs en meurettes was a fabulous entree and the joue de bœuf mitonee also excelled

Wonderful find in this lovely village just outside Beaune. Recommended by our host at Fleurs des Vignes and we were not disappointed. Great menu, great service and all freshly prepared. Nice change from the touristy central Beaune restaurants.

An eccentric restaurant densely populated by alabaster animals, the majority being cats. Despite the kitsch, the food was outstanding and moderately priced. We chose the €35 menu which gave us a choice from three dishes per course. All our selections were excellent. There was a large group of locals in the restaurant which gave the place a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Superb location Very charming place! Excellent service by Emma who is very professional and so friendly.❤️ The food is excellent very tasty with fresh products. Do not miss for the dessert the Grand Marnier soufflé! The wine list is superb with raisonnable price. Congratulations to the Chef 👏👏👏👏👏👏 and his wonderful Team. A place to remember❤️

Very good “sushi trail” place with a remarkable variety of dishes and regular filling up from the kitchen. The dishes range from simple sushi (maki, California, etc.) to more sophisticated ones, such as salmon tartare. You also have hot dishes, such as dumplings. The trail is always full, so that eating there can go really fast, which is another advantage if you are visiting the city and you don’t want to spend too much time in a restaurant. Very good value for money! To be on the safe side, it is better to book a table in advance.

Very kindly and friendly with childrens and vegetarians 💕 Restaurant has been changed the inside design during the lockdown in 2020. Nice wine and beverage list. My French family enjoy the lunch or diner here on weekend.

Great sushi. We had to sit outside due to not booking so could not do the set menu but the sushi was great. The bento box was a good all round choice.

Perhaps a strange thing to have in Beaune but it was pretty good. It’s a set price for all you can eat which will get you in trouble as the flavors are good and there is plenty of options on the sushi train. Had a good Chablis to wash it down.

Good quality food for the reasonable price. Service is friendly and fast. I love the small train that takes food in front of us.

Worst customer experience in France. Servers got some attitude like she hates the world, immediately left. They’re not even Japanese… Food doesn’t look fresh.

Excellent conveyor belt style Japanese place. Great selection of dishes (warm and cold) all freshly prepared and constantly topped. The conveyor was always full even with a full restaurant. I am usually not a fan of all-you-can-eat places, but this one did not compromise quality for quantity and was very well priced on top.

This place is special, from the time we arrived until we left the level of service , friendliness and high quality of food made our evening the best dining in France . We have been dining out for the last three weeks and Garum in my opinion is a hidden gem in Beaune! I’ll be back next year for sure !

We came here based on the Michelin guide recommendation. The food was fine but not exceptional or memorable. I’m not convinced it should be on the Michelin guide. But it wasn’t bad! Just not great. You can see in our pictures what we got. The best flavour were the fries and the cheese. The duck was good but I think could be improved. The wines were great. And I would recommend coming but don’t expect the best meal ever!

I thought the food was exceptionally good. I loved my main dish of slowed cooked beef with egg in an intense reduction. Fabulous wine list of course. Great service and beautiful interior. It looks like it has a lovely area to eat outside but it was pouring with rain the night I was there.

Beware that the beef tartar is made with a non-traditional sauce which I can best describe as being in the direction of soy sauce. The waiter described it as home-made using fermented beef, I believe. I didn't like it very much, though it was a fun touch that they would prepare it right at the table. One point that felt off: when ordering, we asked the waiter if ordering four starters would be too much for two people. The waiter encouraged us, saying it was fine to order this. I'm not sure if we were told that it's *allowed* to order it, or if it's *recommended* to order this much. In any case, we were surprised when the beef tartar came with a side of fries — since we had also ordered fries ourselves. We would have appreciated clear information from the waiter that we're ordering the same item twice. We were going to drive in the afternoon, and thus didn't have wine. I got the feeling that our visit would have been better if we had been able to sit and enjoy some champagne and wine on the large terrace. We were looking for a smaller bit, a salad perhaps, but didn't really find it on the menu. This place is better suited for a longer and bigger meal.

The experience was amazing. We dined outside, and the service was perfect. The atmosphere was laid back, classy, romantic vibe. The cuisine was perfect. The duck was delicious! The entire experience was one to remember.

A really lovely place! The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was absolutely delicious, and the service was excellent. One small tip: if the staff offers you a very large bottle of water, take them at their word—it’s truly enormous!

Excellent service and friendly staff. The outdoor seating is nice. The cuisine offerings are classic with a culinary twist. A great option for dinner. They are accommodating to babies and children.

Outstanding dining experience with fresh ingredients. The sea bass with fennel, dill,orange and capers was the freshest and finest taste we have experienced. The escargot with a crème and mushroom base was heavenly and flavored so well. The cheese plate and fine wine selection from Jeremy an expert son added to the overall experience. I’d come back to Beaune just to dine here. Our waiter worked so hard and was so pleasant providing suggestions. Congratulations Chef!!

Great place. We had the chicken and it was really good. Service was great. Great wine list. All around great dining experience and I would highly recommend it.

We had the most amazing dinner at L’ Expression. The staff were incredibly nice and helpful. The food was delicious and the ambiance was perfect. The wine list was extensive and had so many great options. We loved the dessert wine recommendation that we were given. If we ever return to Beaune this will be our first restaurant to go back to!

Easily the best dinner we had in a week in Beaune. The poularde de Bresse was beautiful: expertly butterflied and roasted, juicy and delicious. More than enough for two! Massive wine list but staff are friendly and can help you find what you want to fit your budget. Would go there again in a heartbeat.

Out of this world. One of best meals I've had this year. Insane chicken.

L’Expression never disappoints The service is consistently professional and welcoming. The wines are excellent, and the sommelier always offers thoughtful, well-matched recommendations. And the food? Simply outstanding — every time.

We had an absolutely delicious meal here! Inventive French cooking with some small, international twists. We particularly enjoyed the carpaccio of carabinero prawn, the sweetbread with courgettes and basil pesto and our shared dessert; a play on tiramisu with a lot more texture and more importantly chocolate! They also serve the tastiest gaspacho we've ever had. Service is warm and their collection of wine is amazing. A definite must-visit in Beaune!

Escargot shop that sells genuine Burgundy escargot, seasoned and ready to go into the oven. Along with various accessories. They offer a tasting menu that includes 1 dozen of escargot and a glass of local white wine. The owner is very enthusiastic in her work and will explain the production process, and more importantly, how to tell if the escargot served in a restaurant is high quality burgundy type or not. Worth a stop for a quick breakfast or lunch and learn about escargot.

Last weekend i visited this place with my wife, and we were thoroughly impressed. The owner was incredibly friendly, warm, and highly knowledgeable about Burgundian cuisine, especially escargot. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience escargots with Chablis, the owner was very friendly and polite. I spend really a good time, in the end she gave as well a suggestion about where have dinners in Beaune...I appreciated too much her kindness.

It was first time to try Escargot, but the experience was awesome! kind, friendly, and lively boutiquier with delicious dish and nice snail cream. Had a memorable time and hope to visit again. Tres bien!

The snails were delicious and the host was very friendly with us. Really recommend the place. We came without a reservation and got a place, which doesn't happen often in the city :)

I was very happy to find this delightful artisan business. Karine the owner was kind and full of passionate information about her products . Here you can try the escargot which is grown naturally and not farmed in all different ways with the chance to eat in house or products to take home. They even have skincare!! Don't hesitate to try a french classic here. Top quality!! Merci Karine

Had a great time at a tasting here late after we pulled in to Beaune. If you haven't had escargots yet, this is a great place to try them for the first time. Give them a chance. You'll like them.

The sun is always shining at Le Soleil making it our favorite restaurant/bar a vins in Burgendy. Great hospitality by Lola, astonishing seasonal dishes by Leila with great combinations of texture, colors and flovors. In combination with Absolutely delicious ( natural/bio) wines each visit has been a treat!

There is no better place to enjoy a long lunch in Beaune than Le Soleil. This amazing restaurant offers a charming and cozy ambiance that makes you feel right at home. I highly recommend ordering a variety of dishes from their menu to share at your table. Their wine list focuses on natural selections and includes some truly fascinating options. The owners' recommendations were outstanding!

Can’t wait to tell people about this place. Amazing dining space with lots of things to look at. Personal and friendly staff that really put time and effort into their food. Amazing wine list, from vin nature to more classic wines. Labneh with ansjovis was our favourite, accompanied by a nice red wine from Simon Rouillard “Minuit” Make sure to bring cash, they can’t accept tip with card.

Seasonal high quality ingredients, local produce and an extensive wine list carry the spirit of burgundy. It’s a great balance between tradition and modernity in a relaxed setting, with an open kitchen to make you feel right at home.

Lola and her team are a shining (🌞!) outpost of small plate cuisine - just order the whole menu if you’re 4 or more. Original wine list with many back vintages from her family’s domaine (Simon Bize) and hand picked favorites from the natural wine world. Reservations are a must, it’s well worth the short drive from Beaune.

Super well hiden in the Bourgogne, beautiful place, very good menu, natural wines, very tasteful inside, highly recommend!!

The positive reviews perplexed us after eating here. We had high expectations basked on the reviews. Instead, we found the service to be lackluster. Perhaps we were unlucky with menu that week? The plates were small, but too pricey to order several. We were so disappointed that we skipped dessert. We had bad weather so we couldn’t enjoy the nice patio.

Large health food and organic grocery store with a wider than usual selection of fresh produce and cheeses. Sometimes pricey but surprisingly sometimes not. We got good deals on melons, kefir and tortillas.

Amazing selection, makes any foodie happy! Full of international products we don’t typically find elsewhere. On the pricier side than the typical French supermarket

Good quality fresh vegetables and fruit, lovely dairy products. If this type of shop were in the Netherlands, I would definitely go there.

Best and freshest food market.

Great supermarket for better quality, if also more expensive, food stuffs. Really good range of fruit and veg, plus a proper in-store butcher. Think 'Whole Foods' but French.

Our favourite fruit and veggies chain in France. However their meat department went downhill after reorganization. Cannot even buy rabbit liver

Quality is key here. Great fruit and vegetable section. The meat quality and selection is amazing. Friendly staff. And for the quality, prices are more than ok!

Great selection of book about burgundy wine. Most of thing in the store related to wine.

We visited in August and the staff were incredibly warm, kind and welcoming. While their wine tasting wasn’t available, they kindly offered to give us a free wine tasting if we just bought a bottle of wine. The wine tasting ended up being of almost 12 different wines (both red and white) from across the entire region and Marco kindly and patiently explained how the different terroirs affected the flavour and aromas of each wine. Overall their service was far above what we expected, and we ended buying a lovely Saint Aubin white wine that we never would have gotten to taste anywhere else. Lovely experience overall - we couldn’t have been happier. Highly recommended!

★★★★★ Absolutely wonderful experience at Athenaeum Beaune. The staff were knowledgeable, kind, and helped me discover some truly special Burgundy wines. Their selection is exceptional — both classic domaines and rising stars. Highly recommend for anyone who loves fine wine and authentic Burgundy charm.

Great shop, you can find everything about Burgundy and France! Lots of cook books, wines, maps and more. Can easily spend hours there

Great wine tasting. We initially agreed on the 3-wine tasting, but ended up tasting almost 10 I think. They helped us to choose most of them from their selection, and they were amazing. We didn't have to pay for the tasting because we bought some bottles afterwards. I highly recommend, friendly service and a great selection of wines.

Best selection of Burgundy books (in French and English) and great wine maps for famous appellations. This place also has multitudes of wine gadgets, high end corkscrews, a wine shop, and other kind of books. This was a great stop in Beaune!

This shop is perfect to find any book on food or wine. They also sell many gadgets associated with. They have a huge selection and a lot of English books too. Very knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Good bread, good croissants. They didn't slice the large pizza we bought or offer to heat it up. Good prices, though. We'll definitely go back.

Great selection and friendly staff. Recommended!

Excellent baguette

Pain excellent

(Translated by Google) Good morning Yesterday at 4:46 p.m. I bought 4 Nordic breads yesterday and I had the unpleasant surprise of having 4 breads that were not cooked at all inside. Sincerely Good morning I went to the bakery, the manager offered to reimburse me and gave me two apple pies for this inconvenience.

(Translated by Google) I rarely use it, but I like it. Last week I bought 1 baguette and 1 pain au chocolat. OH SURPRISE when I got home I opened the bag: 2 sandwiches...waitress's mistake. First of all, it was a shame for the person who got my pain au chocolat...and it wasn't very good. (Original) Je m'y sers rarement mais j'aime bien. Semaine dernière j'ai acheté 1 baguette et 1 pain au chocolat. OH SURPRISE rentrée chez moi j'ouvre le sac : 2 sandwichs ...erreur de la serveuse.

(Translated by Google) I bought Marie baguettes at 3 p.m., and in the evening they were already dry and hard. Plus, I took 6, and I didn't even benefit from the 3+1 offer. The saleswoman, not very pleasant and not smiling, refused to apply it to me. Really very very disappointed! (Original) J'ai acheté des baguettes Marie à 15h, et le soir elles étaient déjà seches et dures. En plus, j'en ai pris 6, et je n'ai même pas bénéficié de l'offre 3+1.

Was recommended this place and wow, did it not disappoint! Friendly service and amazing food 😚👌🏽 Their dishes are fun, fresh and so creative. The best meal I've had in France!

My FAVOURITE spot in Beaune! Stoped by this charming café during peak strawberry season ❤️ Owned and run by two lovely people, Julie & David, this is the cafe/wine bar with the menu and wine list of your dreams! Everything made in-house, seasonal, and wow - such flavour! Excellent hospitality & warm welcome… can’t wait to return!

A fruity americano I tried in Burgundy. It's fantastic especially after a day of wine tasting tour. Apart from marble cake and soft cookies, we also found a veggie dish in here.

Beautiful little place. And absolutely, 100% the best coffee I’ve had in France - Aussie/UK style anyway. Maybe the only really good coffee in France…. 😬🙄

We had two excellent lunches here during our stay in Beaune — we enjoyed it so much the first day that we came back again the next. The cooking is thoughtful and understated, with local, organic ingredients prepared in a way that lets their quality shine. Everything was fresh, well-balanced, and quietly delicious. The wine list is especially notable — focused on natural and local producers, clearly selected with care and respect for the region’s traditions. It’s a great place to discover something new or just enjoy a beautifully chosen glass. The service was warm without being overbearing, and the whole experience felt grounded and genuine. A lovely spot for anyone looking for a high-quality, relaxed meal in Beaune.

We ordered 2 cortados and unfortunately it was essentially all milk. Either very weak coffee or they tried to cut a corner by splitting one double pull of espresso between two drinks. Staff were friendly enough and it is a nice atmosphere. Maybe just an off day for the barista?

Very very good experience for a spontaneous lunch! Great food!

Excellent service from an experienced man who had toiled the soil. You’ll find very agreeable bottles here for sure.

Great choice of wine, not only Bourgogne, even 1er cru, and high quality service. Love as well the QR code on each bottle to check the tasting notes!

Great place super friendly amazing selection of wines with an exceptional explanation. Very good English spoken! We wanted a selection of local wines, chatted casually about our taste preferences and budget. We ended up with a diverse box of bottles that were reasonably priced, some drink nows and some cellar keepers for an amazing price/quality balance! If your in Beaune and you like wine go here! Not snobby not overpriced, what more could you want?

Super friendly and knowledgeable. Perfect balance between listening and understanding what your customer is after and adding his vast expertise in to making good and fun suggestions. Great selection of wines. We will come back!

Very friendly owner and very professional service with profound wine acknowledgment for the region. The shop offers plenty of choices from different new winemakers and Prices are super and quality are very good

Very nice wine shop with excellent advices if you are not so knowledgable about wine. I am not an expert but I got great advices from the owner, Thomas, and the wine was amazing. Highly recommended especially that the prices are very honest.

The wine selection here is incredible. Friendly and very helpful service always make me feel welcome and at home. A must visit if you're in Beaune! Thank you Thomas!

Had the pleasure of meeting Marjorie herself while she was opening up her store; what a lovely woman to talk to. I didn’t know I was basically talking to a celebrity. :) She kindly offered to let us in a little early, we were in desperate need of good coffee, and when we came back a little later her son in law delivered. Best coffee in town by far, and of the best espressos I ever had. The store is a feast for the eyes.

Very understated from the outside, but enter and whole place just comes alive and you enter into a magical place. Love places like this!!! Have to tell you this is a spectacular and awe inspiring shop, with some magnificent equipment and cooking utensils. The back area is like an atrium with the most amazing view of an enclosed courtyard and a spiral staircase. Worth taking a look and a browse around. They even do cooking classes, but you have to book in advance, very popular. Oil, and the coffee is fantastic!!!

Just a quick question. Are the chefs French heritage or are they Americans? I didn’t want to leave a star rating yet but could not post my question without doing so. I haven’t been but I was looking for a French cooking school and just came across this site. Hoping to visit their store sometime this fall. It looks fabulous.

We spent an amazing day with the Cook’s Atelier family. We opted for the Saturday market tour and then a cooking class followed by a leisurely lunch. Surprised by the review where someone thought this was just an Ok class. We’ve done cooking classes in several countries and this was our favorite. Warm and friendly with a lot of great food and wine. It seems some don’t feel a class is challenging enough and my take is they have to make a group class approachable for all levels. If you want a highly skilled class then do a private lesson Rollie join a class that is billed as such (this one is very clearly advertised as a fun, leisurely day ended with a long leisurely lunch). I’m a pretty decent cook and felt I picked up plenty of useful tips I’ll use at home. They also have a great shop downstairs with a lot of fun items to take home.

The cooking class with Marjorie and Kendall was an incredible and unforgettable experience! Marjorie and Kendall were wonderful hosts of Beaune and truly made us feel welcome. We started the morning with a tour of the market and met some of Marjorie and Kendall's favorite local farmers and suppliers. After the cooking class, we enjoyed an amazing meal and conversation with other travelers, all with excellent service from the Cook's Atelier staff. Marjorie and Kendall even went as far as offering recommendations to us for restaurants, bakeries, and some of their other favorites in the area.

We enjoyed our experience at The Cook’s Atelier. However, it did fall short of our expectations. While nothing was out of order, it did not deliver the bang for buck we expected. We have done cooking classes in Italy, Spain, Portugal, Thailand and Singapore in recent years. At each and every course we walked away with recipes in hand. When asked if we would receive recipes for the dishes we prepared today, we were told we must purchase the cookbook. This cheapened the entire experience for me even though it was the most expensive class of this type ever taken. Additionally at rates like these, I did not expect to sit with an empty wine glass or to have to ask twice for more water for the table. It’s the little things that count when you are expecting attention to every detail. We have eaten at gourmet restaurants such as Gordon Ramsey’s “Maze” in London for less than we paid today and had the preparation of each dish thoroughly explained as well as the wine pairing selections. All in all, a nice experience, definitely not a negative one, but not as great as one would expect for the price of admission.

We were drawn in by the board outside boasting the 'best ice coffee' in Beaune, but they have nowhere to sit and enjoy it (which we weren't told until after we had ordered - we figured we could go upstairs to the 'attic'). We stood wandering about the shop trying to drink up and leave quickly because the owner was complaining loudly on the phone and in the store, seemingly because the air con unit had been installed a couple of inches off-centre. It was unprofessional and made us feel very uncomfortable. The shop is beautifully laid out, the cooking equipment is stunning (very expensive) and there was a generous wine selection, but it was hard for us to understand why their coffee was advertised - nowhere to sit, not particularly special and very pricy (€9 for two black coffees).
