    The restaurant is in a greenhouse-like corner of the hotel of the same name, which looks out onto…read morean internal garden with sculptures of dogs and ostrich. We had for dinner one vegetarian 5 course and one Hommage Aux Saveurs menu with a substitution of the foie gras dish from the Mes Racines menu for the "Brochet A La Falcon D'une Fôchouse" white fish appetizer. The service is very warm and the waiters only know the word yes--just the kind of service deserving of a 2 or 3 Michelin white tablecloth fancy restaurant. The first dish was a great collection of local vegetables that struck us both as similar to Blue Hill at Stone Barns. We immediately Wikipedia'd the restaurant and learned that the previous head chef before he committed suicide was famous for using local fresh ingredients and low cream, revolutionary in his generation for French Haute Cuisine. Foie Gras dish was Bomb; I snuck a bite and it was delicious, perfect hot temperature, and not too fatty. The vegetarian dish for that course was a green asparagus with an egg cream. Savory dish for meat eater was veal served pink; savory dish for vegetarian was a layered potato with melted cheese and fresh cilantro on top. The cheese spread was amazing, and the wine was very overpriced compared to the Burgundy joints we visited.

    Bernard Loiseau lived and died a legend. If you don't know to whom I refer, read "The…read morePerfectionist" about the life of this legendary French chef who battled depression his entire career, but still became a Three-Michelin star chef. When reports came out that he was going to lose a star, he shot himself at a fairly-young age. If that doesn't make you want to stay and dine at his legendary hotel and restaurant, well, read the book, and then book it. Tucked away in a small town in Burgundy, lies the Relais Bernard Loiseau. It is a gorgeous, yet unconventional, hotel. It has large cabin-like rooms, and a beautiful spa downstairs where I did indulge in a treatment or two. While the hotel is gorgeous, gourmands flock far and wide for the legendary food and to clench a bit of the legend. As an ignorant non-foodie, I did not know much about Loiseau, when I arrived, but, was quickly educated. There is not much to do in this little town, with the exception of a few bars and the hotel and gift shop attached. It is very quaint and lovely. The restaurant is in word: astonishing. Each course is elegantly and gloriously prepared. I still think about their signature cocktail, my first frog leg, and the tenderness of the beef. The dining rooms are incredible, as is the lounges where you enjoy your cocktails and wine. I would recommend challenging your palette to one of the set menus. The pastries are divine. The hotel in general has exceptional service. They even provided us with our own driver/certified sommelier for wine tasting throughout burgundy. It really doesn't get any better than this. If you ever find yourself in France, it is worth the drive (only two hours if you don't get lost from Paris).

    L'Hirondelle gets four stars for food quality alone…read more We walked in on a Friday night without a reservation. The first thing I noticed was the overwhelming smell of cat food. The second thing I noticed was how cute and homey the restaurant was. I'm fairly certain that's because people live here. There was a cute dog hanging out by the stairs. The server wasn't sure if she could squeeze us in but ultimately said there was an empty table upstairs. When we got upstairs, she seated us at one of six empty tables. There were literally no other people up there the entire time we were in the restaurant. There was a cat, though, hence the cat food smell. The cat was enjoying its life, hopping from table to table, which has to be some kind of health code violation. The server sat us in a weird corner, so we moved to a more inviting table near the window and heater. When she came back up to take our orders, she was annoyed that we had moved and said the table we picked "isn't for guests." This seemed weird to us, since it was clearly the most desirable table on that floor. We offered to move, but she let us stay. The cat had been creeping over my shoulder, literally breathing down my neck from an inch away, and thankfully, the waitress put her in a different room. After all these negatives, I still have to give it four stars, because the crepes were absolutely delicious. I had the paysanne, a very hearty, flavorful vegetarian crepe with potatoes, tomatoes, and egg in it. It was beautifully presented as well. For dessert, I had the fried pear crepe with white chocolate ice cream, and it was also delicious. My friend had the smoked salmon and spinach crepe, which looked disgusting, and he didn't seem to enjoy it. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and fun, so I'd definitely go back.
