My favorite cheese shop in Dijon. It's been in business since 1873, and they are superb…read more I bought a Mothais Sur Feuille from them, and it turned out to be an amazing cheese. It comes with a chestnut leaf, which makes the cheese strikingly beautiful. They seemed to have an abundance of small specialty cheeses, something the French excel at making. The Cheesemonger was extremely helpful, but he also let me browse around the shop. This is a first class store with amazing cheeses, and i highly recommend it.

Not sure I'd come back to Beaune just to go here, but bet your bottom cheese slicer I'll be back here if I do return.

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.

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.
