"We had a lovely evening meal at Auberge du Coteau a short minutes drive from our Hotel Le Manassès in the neighbouring village of Curtil-Vergy. A beautiful July evening – temps of C we were seated on the terrasse – our...table somewhat setback from the road so sadly we only had glimpses of the distant rolling vineyards. Our aperitif of delicious Cremant de Bourgogne was surprising served in cognac glasses but no matter – the Cremant was crisp and sparking. I opted for the menu and started with escargots au beurre persille – succulent and flavoursome. My wife’s entrée of foie gras maison was excellent – two generous slices served with a superb onion confit. We both requested our viandes grillees as à point – my bavette and my wife’s magret de canard – and disappointing both were slightly over cooked and less ‘rosé’ than we prefer – but no matter – the meat was excellent served with homemade frites. We finished with my tarte de prunes which was homemade and excellent -served with real crème. We ordered a delightful bottle of Hautes Cotes de Nuits as the perfect companion to our meal. Our final bill of was absolute value for the delicious culinary offering. Service was efficient and friendly – the restaurant was packed – the evening warm and sultry – a perfect Bourguignon séjour. The Auberge has the aspect of an Alpine chalet – so we look forward to re-visiting in winter when the traditional open log-fire would make a spectacular backdrop. Highly recommended."
