Worth a detour!…read more Macon is not the most culinary part of the Bourgogne region but Chez Pierre everything just falls into place. The beautifully prepared dishes are culinary, creative but not too fancy and experimental. Actually we think they make a perfect balance between traditional French cuisines and the more modern techniques. We had a gourmand menu with small lobsters, lots of truffle, coquilles and pigeon and we loved it. We completed our dining with a beautiful chocolate ball that was 'finished' at the table. Very nice! Although they have an extensive winelist we choose all Bourgogne wines from surrounding areas. The wines were very nice and tasteful and very well priced. I would love to come back here.

This meal was one of our highlights of our trip to France…read more We had a family of two adults and three older children. Firstly the exceptional value of this restaurant. The is a petit gourmet option for children consisting of a half portion main (generous still) and full dessert. The adults had several options including a special 3 course menu for 25 euro, 35 euro or other more elaborate options. Example; one of the kid had main of Bresse chicken with a gorgeous truffle sauce. We were offered a choice of rustic or olive bread with delicious herbed butter. This bread was the nicest I tasted in France which is saying something. The food was good regional and seasonal fare presented with flair. The flavours were very good. The wine list was very extensive but also contained a good array of options by the glass. The wine matched with my seafood main was a marriage made in heaven. There was a tray of five complimentary titbits each between main and dessert all of which were delightful. One of the desserts was a sphere of dark chocolate with gold leave on top. The waitress poured warm chocolate sauce over the top melting a hole revealing apricot ice cream and other delights inside. This was theatrical and delicious. Coffee was served with complimentary cherries dipped in dark chocolate and rum. Yum. I would most strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting this region or would advise a detour to experience this gem of a restaurant.
