Caveau is Definitely one of the best restaurants in Beaune-ville. Delicious food, excellent…read moreservice, and romantically set in a old wine cellar with good lighting.
We had:
Six Burgundy snails with garlic and hazelnuts, Beef Bourguignon, Chicken breast
with cream sauce, pouched eggs in bourguignon sauce, creme brulee and
Creme de cassis 'bread' with raspberry sorbet. With 2013 Chablis and 2011 Monthelie Cuvée Miss Armande.
Definitely order the 2011 Monthelie.
As our tour guide told us earlier: Monthelie is the affordable delicious everyday wine.
Best Burgundy snails ever! Delicious garlicky hazelnut blend with butter and olive oil. Juicy, meaty snails. I don't know where they get their snails but the snails were amazing!
And that Beef bourguignon! OMG! Tasted like it was braised for hours. So tender, it tasted of onions, red wine, it was perfectly seasoned.
Creme Brulee was solid. Perfect caramelized crust. And the almond flake that adorned the dessert was a like a slice of a great almond horn.
The bread was a blackcurrant cake that fluffy, like a marshmallow mated with a souffle. So good.
Excellent service, albeit a little pushy.
