Loiseau des Ducs

The Dijon branch of the Loiseau restaurant group, in a 17th-century hôtel particulier near Notre-Dame, has held a Michelin star since 2014. The kitchen serves a refined French menu with strong Burgundian roots — frog legs, escargots, jowls of beef in red wine — with classical technique and lighter, modern presentation.

Lunch menus are a relative bargain; dinner is expensive but the cellar is exceptional. Reserve well ahead.

A story
The Dijon outpost of the Loiseau group — built on the legacy of Bernard Loiseau, the legendary Saulieu chef who took his own life in 2003 after his restaurant's Michelin rating was rumoured to be at risk. The Dijon kitchen carries a single star and serves a more accessible version of the Saulieu cuisine.
