I would like to pick everyone's brains. I will be in Burgundy for 1 night only. I need to choose one place for dinner and one place for lunch.
I would like to eat very classical cusine. Do not care much about ambience. Wine list needs to be Decent. Location: dinner anywhere from Beaune to Gevrey, lunch the same but I will be in the middle of appointments.
Any ideas ?
Thank very much in advance.
Regards
F.

Filo
the question is where does you sleep. What is the price range.
In Beaune I like the Caveau des Arches and La Ciboulette.
In Nuits-St.Georges we are going to the La Cabotte.
The la petite Auberge in Vosne-Romanee would also be a good place to eat.
Have a nice time

La Cabotte 24, Grande Rue 21700 Nuits Saint Georges
La petite Auberge,5, Route nationale 74, Vosne-Romanee
Filo - those good addresses from Burgundyfan.
I'm not sure what you mean by classical - for me clasical french cooking brings thoughts of Michelin stars etc - in which case you need either Le Charlemagne in Pernand, or Loiseau des Vignes in Beaune!

Is this my friend Filippo from the wine-pages.com Corton-Charlemgne off line earlier this year ?
If so :- bonjour mon ami, ca va ?
I've never eaten in Beaune, always being in the villages, but a great favourite with us (the family of 3 of us) is here :-
Hotel Le Chevreuil, Meursault.
1 Place de l'Hotel de Ville
21190 Meursault, France
03 80 21 23 25
Search for it in Google ?
If your stood in front of the Meursault church with your back to it then Le Chevreuil is on your right just going out of the centre place.
The chef proprietor is Jean Gouges, lovely man, a cousin I think of the Domaine Henri Gouges family of NSG. Jean and his wife (or partner - not sure which but a very sweet lady) run this very nice place. Not been for 2/3 years but on a family holiday in 2006 we eat there wonderfully 3 or 4 times and without 'breaking the bank' - classic Burgundian dishes wonderfully executed e.g oeufs meurettes, boeuf borguignon etc. The wine list was pretty handy as I recall. I remember Coche-Dury Meursault for around 90 euros being on it. We had a red Meursault from Pierre Morey one night.
I've not stayed there as a hotel but believe it's very comfortable. Doesn't look great from the outside but plenty of character, the restaurant is modern, on the right, and was full (of locals I think) whenever we were there.
My daughter was much taken by Jean's tabby cat which loved to drape itself around his shoulders when he was in reception or the restaurant talking to guests - not in the kitchen though !
I believe there's a good restaurant in Gevrey, which might sell wine as well, but my memory ain't great re that - doubtless someone will fill in my blanks.
There's also the quite up market Le Montrachet in Puligny, as well as Olivier Leflaive's place i the centre - not sure if the latter isn't only open lunchtimes ? Again, someone will put me right.
For lunch if you will settle for a baguette and a patisse to be eaten maybe in the vineyards then go in the boulangerie in Morey as I did the day after my vendange finished and ask madam for a sandwiche ! She'll grab half a baguette and ask you what fillings you want in it from the mouth watering display - 3.5 euros I think it was.
If you call to see Alex Gambal on the Beaune 'peripherique' am sure he'll put you on to somewhere close by in Beaune - or you could email him ? He does a mean thick black coffee for a mal du (de?) tete as well !!!!

+ 1 for Le Chevreuil in Meursault it's my favorite restaurant now.
I've been there 4 - 5 times now and I've become a big fan.
Classic Burgundian cooking.
You should try his " Hamburger from foie gras "
Mr.Gouges is a great chief and the lady's are very friendly.
The wines are priced very reasonably.

Filippo,
I quite like Le Chambolle in Chambolle for lunch. Great food, great winelist and a certain charm. I also like La Cabotte in Nuits, which has great food but is a little more modern in it's atmosphere. If in Nuits make sure to visit Cavon De Bacchus. There are loads of options for dinner in Beaune, the only one that I'll add to the ones above is Ma Cuisine.
Cheers,
Will

Thanks everyone for these helpful addresses.
By classical I mean NON Michelin starrs cusine, more bistro type kind of cusine, extremley down to earth. I do not mind strong flavors!
Thanks v.m.
So far Dujac lined up and Maison Ilan. Will try to go to Roumier/Fourrier/Mugneret Gibourg.
Yes Mark that's me! What about that Meursault Perrieres offline we discussed ?

Hi Filippo,
Thought it must be you !
How did you get the appointment at Dujac then ? Ray W is a great guy at Ilan. Amazing what he's doing although I was too hung over to taste when I called recently.
Am very much up for the Meursault Perrieres offline as guess Phil E will be - mail me ? Just got a note from Strakers today - was successful (premox fingers crossed) with bids on Morey Perrieres 97 and Darviot-Perrin Perrieres 98, case of each at £20 a bottle. Also got 3 Morey Perrieres 2000 from BfW recently - tried one - lovely.
Enjoy the trip - am very envious, despite my vendange. Guess you won't have time to go and see Arlaud but let me know if you want an intro ?

Not sure , either, by what you mean by "classical", but....if your criteria are as Bill states, I would not miss going to Le Charlemagne for either lunch or dinner; they have both. This is a fine a restaurant as I know anywhere. Their wine list is filled with local gems, if you are adventuresome and not searching for "trophy" labels.
