This is a fantastic butcher and meat shop right in the center of town. No need to waste your time…read moreand money on the pre-packaged stuff at the nearby Casino grocery store; this place has all the fresh and prepared meats you will ever need. I especially like their jambon persillé (ham and parsley aspic terrine), a regional dish that is ubiquitous in Burgundy, as well as their duck liver paté. They also have a selection of very tasty saucisson (dry cured sausage) that they will slice for you. Finally, in the mornings they offer freshly-roasted chickens, but be sure to get there early, because they go quick, and once they're out, they're out. The only thing that would make this place better is having Bresse chicken. But I guess you can't win them all.

This little épicerie sells a small but nice selection of meats, cheeses, fruits and vegetables, and…read moreother locally-produced products. If you want your Époisses, Cîteaux, or Comté cheeses, this is the place to get them. There is also a carefully curated selection of mustards, fleur du sel, olive oil, teas, wines, and various other condiments. If you like Bonnat chocolate, there is a very good selection of them here, and for much less than what you are paying in the U.S. More a place for specialized items than staples, but definitely worth a visit or two.

Nice place to purchase specialty cheeses and fresh fruits and vegetables. Very close to our hotel,…read moreHotel les Charmes

Amazing cheese counter here at Alain Hess…read more Delice de Pommard with mustard and their fresh Gorgonzola were our choices. We'd originally gone there seeking the Delice but as we walk through the door, I see the cheesemonger literally spooning out the gorgonzola into a container & it was love at first sight Grabbed a baguette from around the corner & dinner was served. That Gorgonzola was INCREDIBLE! Oozy, gooey, mild but tons of flavor The Delice de Pommard was a cream cheese with mustard seed husks from the Burgundy region Also offering wines, oils and lots of other temptations, Alain Hess is well worth a visit. If you do go, pick me up some of that Gorgonzola!

Alain Hess is a must-visit when you are in Beaune. It is a fantastic cheese and wine shop, probably…read morethe best in the entire city. The array of cheeses -- all lovingly displayed in a large glass case -- is enough to make any cheese lover salivate and instantly reach for his wallet. The wine shop downstairs is also impressive. Of course you are not going to find any of the highly collectible stuff, but there is a very good selection (of Burgundy, of course!) at decent prices. You can also find a good selection of hand harvested sea salt, high end chocolate, such as Bonnat, and Fallot mustard.

The prices were very reasonable; and, the service was impeccable even by French standards. Most importantly, the food was, in a word, exquisite. If I had one suggestion, it would be that they allow customers to make reservations through their website.

Awesome spot for tasting more types of mustard than you realized existed! Sure, it's touristy, but…read moreI'm not even a mustard fan and I enjoyed visiting La Moutarderie Fallot. If you want to take a tour do book ahead as we were not able to get on one last minute. After returning to the US I started noticing their mustard being carried about various high end / boutique grocers, so you can do your tasting here but buy when you get home if you don't want to carry around mustard in your luggage.

I will give it four stars only because they aren't able to offer morning tours right now. However,…read morewhat they did have was great! They have mustard tasting available when you walk in, and you can purchase in the gift shop until 6pm. There is an abundance of mustard flavors and there are also some other products. The employees were very courteous and helpful. I purchased several jars of mustard and they were packed carefully into a paper bag. The prices are also very reasonable. My favorite mustards were probably the basil and burgundy white wine. However, I did not taste them all because there were so many.
