L'Aspérule Auxerre

We had an amazing dinner. We took the short version of the fixed menu. We really liked all the dishes and how each dish paired with the right bread. The highlights for us was the perfect egg, shrimps and the duck dish. The wine selection is great and is reasonable priced.

We had a wonderful meal here. The 5 course menu at 45 euros (78€ with 4 glasses of wine) was excellent value for money. Each dish was beautifully presented and every element flavoursome. The service was friendly and professional. Definitely recommend.

Warm welcome, delicious food and excellent value for money. We’d happily be regulars if we lived closer! Thank you for a lovely meal!

The resturant is small and cozy no bigger than a shophouse.There were only 4 personnel running a restuarant with 20 diners. Lighting is well lit with warm white light on every individual table. The meal was light and fluffy. The chef has done a immensurable job in taking us in gastronomic roller coaster ride. It feels as though the chef is toying with our taste buds with the unexpected taste twist from each dishes. Using only a local product and not expensive delicacies like truffle or caviar, the chef create playful taste of everyday ingredient such as egg, asperagus, trout and rabbit meat. The chef masterfully layering the subtle sour sauce to go with the aperagus. The foaming technique that layer salty taste to go with a perfect sous vide eggs. Or even the milk butter foam to pair with trout. The cheese plate is also commendable, mostly cheese from the Franch comte region. I particularly liked cow cheese with smoky and herbal after taste. 18 months comte with nutty bite is also fantastic. The wine list is also extensive with heavier tilt toward local wine such as chablis and irancy wine. I opted for Chablis from a nearby villiage with dry lean light body with good amount of acidity to pair with egg and aperagus.

Japanese touches in French gastro food. Really good service, very interesting wines. Strongly recommended if you pass by. Price quality ratio unbeatable 😊

This restaurant is a true gem! I am still thinking of the delicious dinner we had yesterday. Chef Kimura blends his Japanese tradition in the French cuisine, giving to guests a unique experience. We literally enjoyed every single dish, in their perfect balance of flavours and consistencies. The wine pairing was on spot with some nice discoveries from small Burgundy producers. The atmosphere is warm, service is attentive. Price is well worth the experience. This address hasn’t to be missed. Could easily get a star very soon. The only thing we regret is that we are leaving the area of Chablis today and we can’t visit again L’Asperule. Big Bravo to chef Kimura, you have us a truly delightful experience!

Amazing experience. We took the largest menu with cheese, and everything was delicious.

Excellent French cuisine. Small menu which I prefer as I feel there is less waste and often better quality of food. It’s now not easy to find quality little restaurants like this in France. Perhaps some gentle music would have been nice and a little more softness with the decor. But for me it’s all about the good food. Well done.
