"Having grown up in Quebec I have a love for French cuisine. For me a trip to France is heaven on earth, the baguettes, cheese, amazing wine and salmon, is everything a French Canadian girl dream of, but I found so much more than I could have ever hoped for in this hidden gem. MUST VISIT IF IN DIJON!!This restaurant takes everything that is fine french cuisine and presents it like a five-star Michelin restaurant. The food, atmosphere and wine were more than I could have ever expected in a small town outside of Paris. They start you off with small bits to tantalize your pallet as you choose your 5-course meal from the menu. Those small bits are whatever the chef comes up with that day with some of the freshest ingredients you've ever had.When it comes to wine, we asked for the menu and the owner was like no no the Sommelier will come to help you choose the wine which goes best with your meal. They have their very own Sommelier can you imagine. It was my first experience having someone choose the wine which goes best with my meal, but it was out of this world the wine he recommended. I took a picture, hoping when I returned to Montreal I could find it again. The food, every course was out of this world. Displayed in the most beautiful way possible with so much flavour. I decided to try something local I had never had before in my life, pigeon. Oh yes, right now your questions did she really just say pigeon? I did and it was out of this world; Pigeon from Corton, the back rubbed with vanilla seed, the thigh caramelized with shallots and melt in your mouth Charlotte Potatoes. OMG!! It was worth the risk of ordering something different. That was my main, for the Entree, I order; Foir Gras, I had numerous local cheeses before the desserts started. They allow you to choose a specific desert, then while you wait to bring you 5 small little desserts the chef decided to make that day. By the time you leave this amazing restaurant, you will have eaten some of the best food of your life and wish you lived close by to return again, again and again. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to you."
