Five Star Evening!
It was a perfect evening in BEAUNE. June 21 was the longest day of the year and a cause for celebration in the city. Streets were shut down to traffic, bands were playing in nearly every square and we had a front row seat at this wine bar/Café. We were seated in the wine cellar, so it was a little cooler as well as a bit quieter than if we had been seated at an outside table.
Let's start with a Wine. Their 50+ page wine list is outstanding. They were nine pages, just devoted to champagne and sparkling wine. What's more, our young server was more than qualified to help us with the list and to make recommendations.
This was an anniversary celebration, so we began with champagne and charcuterie, and a couple of other starters. Later, we moved on to smaller sized mains that included salmon, chicken, and other delicious selections.
Two chefs operating in about 2 m² did an impressive job of putting out food. We were able to linger over outstanding champagne and wines while having a wonderful light meal and a most wonderful evening.
What a special celebration in Burgundy.
