During a trip here last fall, Russell had mentioned a new restaurant in Pommard and had tried, unsuccessfully, to make reservations there for lunch on a couple of different days that week. The chef/owner, Jean-Christophe Moutet, worked for years alongside the likes of Roland Chanliaud at Jardin des Remparts in Beaune and Jacques Lameloise [...]

I’ve been hearing about this place since it opened a few years ago but never bothered to check it out. For the most part, I’d only heard about the hotel it’s attached to and how expensive it was – instant turnoff – not the restaurant. When I finally did hear about Le Bistro, I was [...]

One of Beaune’s great spots for traditional Burgundian home cooking, Caves Madeleine also has one of the best wine lists in town at ridiculously low prices. Set in a cozy cellar a few steps below street level with a long, wooden communal table surrounded by racks full of great wine, the thirty-something Laurent “Lolo” Brelin [...]

After sitting on a plane for 13 hours with a shrieking child two rows ahead of me – thank god for Halcyon – and another three in a car with my good friend, the non shrieking but needing to be fed JW riding shotgun, it was definitely time for a bottle of something and Sunday supper. [...]
