Within the top 3 of 9 restaurants visited during a trip to Lyon, Dijon, and Auxerre, and our favourite restaurant in Auxerre. Atmosphere was lovely, service friendly, and food was delicious.

In the centre of town with a small outside sitting area this modern French restaurant is delightful. We had Octopus which was beautifully cooked, delicious home made pate, filet steak and the most succulent chicken with mushroom. The bread was also delicious. There is a good wine list, the service was impeccable and if I came back to the city I’d definitely return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. I’m not sure why I can’t post images to my review…. But the food looked as good as it tasted!
