La Côte Saint Jacques & Spa

So, here we are back again …. we can’t seem to stay away. We have visited this hotel on the banks of the Yonne several times, and it never fails to live up to our expectations. The hotel is beautifully situated and the staff are all welcoming. We were fortunate enough to be upgraded - thank you - and our room was well appointed with a large glass covered terrace. There were a couple of things about the design that I might have done differently - a question of taste - but overall it was very comfortable and had everything we needed for our all too brief stay. The breakfast is always delightful - table service instead of the ubiquitous buffet. Wonderful fruit salad, homemade jams and creams, freshly baked viennoiserie.||I have to emphasize the quality of our evening meal in the restaurant. We are fortunate to have been able to eat in many restaurants over the years renowned for the quality of their cooking, but in my opinion Cote St Jacques is really at the top. The meal we had was good in every respect - the quality of the ingredients and the cooking, imagination, presentation, portion size, sauces were all delicious. The waiting staff were all professional and we received good advice from the sommelier.||Overall, another lovely experience.

The highlight of our week in France. This property is magnificent. The restaurant is truly a gourmet experience.

Food service and a whole lot of more food ....amazing dinner and atmosphere with a very relaxing spa

The Cote Saint-Jacques provides a great location to mix business and pleasure. The staff are ultra-attentive and obliging, the rooms luxurious, the common areas inviting and relaxing, and the food is among the best I have tasted in more than 40 years of global travel.|We benefitted greatly from the advice provided by Thomas the sommelier. He took time to explain the origin and production of local wines and introduced us to some outstanding examples - simply delicious!

Fabulous stay!! Fabulous staff, food and accommodation. Everything was impeccable and the staff was so friendly. Some of the best food we ever had. Visited La Côte Saint-Jacques in 1997 and 1998, fabulous then and fabulous now.

Exceptional culinary experience at Chef Lorain’s restaurant. The tasting & wine pairing were incredible. How this place only has 2 stars is beyond me! Really made our trip to Burgundy memorable. Will certainly be back. Kudos to Chef Lorain and his team! ❤️

The room and hotel were lovely, but the staff was what made the visit superior. Absolutely wonderful, very helpful, and so gracious! I had to move a mountain of baggage for one night stay and they helped get everything carefully into the room, and then loaded back in the car the next day. I have dietary restrictions and the front desk answered all of my questions and called the kitchen to double check that my selections would be safe for me. They are truly an asset to your company!

excellent chef , one of the best in France. Staff is perfect and the view of the room is very nice. But the decoration of the room mainly is not at all at the level of a 5 starts in 2024

This review is for what is supposed to be a 5* hotel. Sent couple of emails requesting information as there's conflicting information on their websites to figure out if they and the restaurant were open but after 3 days of wait no answer. I will let you figure out how to feel if you want to stay and eat there but there's no answer. No customer service. I'm surprised and confused as I was really looking forward to staying there.

My friend and I had visited last year but on a Sunday night they were open to hotel guest only. So now that I'm back in the area we returned recently on a Friday night. They weren't too busy. The service was exceptional, well trained staff and multiple staff people waiting on our table. My companion had a set menu: starter, 2 main courses and dessert with wine pairings. I don't like eating so much at the typical French dinner time of 8 or 830pm. So I had one main dish and dessert. They brought us amuse bouche with our pre-dinner drinks, upstairs. And then once we took the gold elevator to the ground level there was another light dish before the meal. I had the veal with short rib, with artichokes and a lovely melange of fall vegetables. The veal and short rib were tender and bursting w flavor. My companion had both the lobster and sweetbread dishes. He commented that the sweetbread was excellent. Again we were presented with a pre dessert, a lovely glass piece with tiny bites of various pateries. Delightful. My dessert choice was far superior - napoleon. They cut it into 2 slices and I could only eat the first half. The creme was rich and light at the same time. The pastry also light layers, but still held the dish together.

As you descend the Copper Elevator and enter the world of Jean-Michel Lorain be prepared for an evening of being pampered. The attentive staff does a wonderful job of making your evening delightful One dish can make the evening and this is what transpired here. As our main course we ordered The Brese Poulet for two. Cooked encroute to hermetically seal the flavors cooked in champaigne It is prepared table side to the sauce is added cream and fresh peas and carrots. First come the white meat and then a secon dish with dark meat The sauce is divine and do not be shy to use the bread to help finish the sauce The appetizers and desserts were all top notch the foie gras prepared three ways was refreshing and delightful there was a good compliment of wines by the glass and of course the Chablis from good local producers were all there to be tasted The view of the Yonne river complimented our evening well as we had our coffee and chocolates On the veranda upstairs Enjoy the evening
