"The Bistro of the Hotel de Beaune has a terrific location in the center of Beaune and over recent years the interest of the menu has increased. However, because of a recent contretemps involving wine, I have to recommend that people should avoid the restaurant.I have stayed at the Hotel de Beaune with my wife probably about 8 times over the past 10 or 15 years and usually eat at the Bistro once or twice during the stay. On this occasion, for the first time ever, I asked if we could drink a bottle of wine that we brought with us. Earlier in the day, on a visit to producer Albert Grivault, he opened an exceptional old bottle, a 1985 Clos des Perrieres Meursault, and invited us to take the rest of the bottle to have with dinner. I explained to the Bistro that this was an exceptional occasion--we could not after all keep the bottle to take home as it had been opened--but they refused to make an exception to their policy. Never mind that we were staying at the hotel, never mind that we were old and frequent clients of both hotel and Bistro, it was "pas possible." The owner absolutely refused to allow us to have the bottle, even though I offered to pay for a bottle of Bourgogne from the list and just drink the Clos des Perrieres instead.While other people are unlikely to have this particular problem, the lack of respect for the clientele, the wish to force everyone to buy a bottle from the list, the inability to recognize faithful clients, suggests a hostile attitude to which the only possible response can be to go somewhere else. This is an extraordinary attitude given that the Bistro is something of a hangout for local winemakers. We will stay at another hotel and not patronize the Bistro de l'Hotel in the future.(All was not lost: we left the Bistro--which was by no means full--and went round the corner to L'Ecrit Vin, where everyone took a great interest in the wine (special glasses were produced for the great wine) and we had a very nice meal; the wine was extraordinary.)"

"We were returning to the UK, through Beaune, a family of three, with our spaniel puppy in tow. Freshening up after a long drive, we arrived in Beaune for dinner quite late. Most restaurants were busy, but we asked at Le Parisien, and were told a table would be ready in a few minutes. Seeing on this warm evening that the interior of the restaurant was empty, we asked if we could wait indoors. So we sat sipping cool drinks and poeple-watching, while brief stormy showers drifted through. As soon as it could be cleared we were ushered to a beautiful table, front and centre, and ordered our meal.Now this is not one of those smart over-priced Beaune restaurants where you pay to be associated with the name but we cannot recommend this place highly enough for their care of us, the charming service, and flexibility shown. We had good food, excellent wine, and a wholly warm experience, in difficult circumstances.You should find an excuse to visit this great little place in the centre of historic Beaune - you'll be glad you did."

"You enter this restaurant down a set of stairs and then you encounter a number of wine boxes. I thought that we had maybe come in the service entrance, but I guess it makes sense this is a wine cave. The interior is very charming and looking at all the wine bottles is a fun way to pass the time waiting for your food. We had a nice half bottle of champagne to start and then a couple of by the glass selections, which is always a bonus if you want to taste, but you aren't in a large enough group to warrant ordering bottles.I had the beef bourguignon, which was rich and delicious and great with the bread. My husband had a duck dish that had pasta as a side. He said it was fine, but nothing special and that my food was much better, so I would say you should probably stick with one of the more traditional dishes. I overheard other diners praising their food as well. We didn't have dessert, but I kind of wish that we had, because they looked really yummy.Compared to most of the dining on our trip, this was an excellent dining value and the menu was extensive enough that most people could find something that they would enjoy. I got the feeling that this might be a family run establishment, so it is nice to patronize those."

"Ook nu weer een restaurant dat in een wijk ligt waar het omringd wordt door hotels hetgeen zijn effect heeft op de klanten, zeer internationaal. Was hier al eens eerder en ook nu niet gekozen voor het buffet, op een zondag kan een bestelling van de kaart goedkoper zijn, zeker als je niet zo'n honger hebt. Ik koos voor het 'brochette menu'. Als voorgerecht de loempiaatjes die me een beetje taai aandeden. De spiesjes (kip, varken en garnaal) waren lekker, geserveerd met voldoende Cantonese rijst (nasi). Ananas beignets na."
