Restaurant Chez Léon

I visited Restaurant Chez Léon in Dijon and had a wonderful dining experience. I ordered a glass of Côte de Premeaux red wine, which was very smooth, not astringent at all, and extremely enjoyable. The Bœuf Bourguignon façon Léon had a pleasantly sweet-and-sour sauce with a subtle wine aroma. The beef was slow-cooked to perfection—very tender and literally melted in my mouth. The creamy onions on the side were also delicious. For dessert, I had the Tarte des Sœurs Tatin with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream. The apples were perfectly soft and bursting with flavor. An excellent way to end the meal. Highly recommended!

The food and wine were just amazing! The vibe of the place is also very good, with a real french environment - not a tourist trap at all!! Really recomend it!

The escargots and scallops were absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Cozy atmosphere, great service. I’d happily come back.

The food was good but not spectacular. The atmosphere was great. Unfortunately the service, later in the evening, toward closing time, was very poor. The worst part, we were given a different dessert than what we had ordered and told that it was a tart... I don't know what else to say about this or how to feel about this. I guess it's just plain rude to lie about your dish like this. Maybe you thought we wouldn't notice? Hopefully it was just a one-off. Other than that, we're just two Americans enjoying our vacation across Europe trying to be as friendly, curious, and considerate as possible.

Delicious meal and very good service. The ris de veau was exquisite. Very good desserts as well. Highly recommend.

Great experience, we came in without reservation and they accommodated us instantly (around 7:15pm) Food is awesome, real and hones french cuisine well executed, lots of flavour and high quality. Restaurant has a good ambiance, without pretentiousness, focused on the quality of the cuisine. Will definitely recommend andncome back.

The outdoor seating is very nice, no wind, heaters are on if needed. The dishes are quite good. The components of dishes are fresh. One waitress is nice, another one is very artificial. Good atmosphere. My personal opinion and again unfortunately, prices are not matching the experience. I will definitely not visit this place second time. Ratings are below (1 - worse, 5 - the best): The overall food is good - 3+/5. Service is medium - 3/5. Atmosphere is nice - 4/5. Prices of food and drinks are quite high - 2/5. Overall - medium experience.

3.5 really. Food was good but definitely not 5 star knock-it-out-of-park standard. We ordered a set menu plus an extra main but nothing stood out for me as “I’d make sure I come back”. Service however was fairly limited due to the lack of staff - 2pax covering both inside and outside seating seem to be a stretch for sure. If you’d like a table outdoors make sure you book as otherwise only indoor seating provided.

By far me & my friend's favorite spot so far while touring across france. The food was incredible, the staff were kind and trying to keep up with language barriers, but were overall very efficient and kind. The inside was very fun, with lots of the decorations being about wine!

Wonderful place! I had a starter is snails, which were fab. BF had poached eggs burgundy. I had the lamb shank and BF had beef bourguignon. I added fried potatoes to my dish, and BF had mashed potatoes. Garlic seemed to be in each, which was wonderful. Add in crapes suzette for desert....life is good!

This is a really nice traditional Burgundian place in Dijon. We came here for our last night of dinner and were not disappointed. I had the traditional dish of eggs poached in a red wine sauce and scallops. The eggs were rich but still light and the scallops had a really nice topping with them. I'd definitely recommend a visit but call ahead for reservations as they were pretty full!

One of my favorite restaurants in Dijon!!! Small and quaint. Quiet and pleasant. Came for dinner with 2 friends. We did not have reservations, but we were able to get seated right away at 7 PM when it opened. I would recommend reservations because it is small and very popular! Servers were friendly and accommodating. If you know anything about Dijon, you know it's in Burgundy wine region (aka Pinot Noir lovers this is for you) so a bottle of fabulous wine was ordered. It was so good we had another. I will post a photo of the wine. They had options to do entree, plate, and dessert if desired and all 3 of us did because Dijon is also known for its gastronomy. (You got to go all out.) I ordered an egg with burgundy sauce which was 100% YUM and so flavorful. I got filet of beef with ratatouille for the plate. Also delicious. Beef was tender. I ordered medium rare and it was perfect. For dessert I got a fruit and ice cream dish. It was light and refreshing after a heavier dinner. I wouldn't order the fruit again for dessert (just because I prefer the chocolate route). My friend let me try her salted caramel dish and it was amazing!!! I loved this place and highly recommend.

Enjoyed our meal down to the desert. Had the local favorites and would recommend the restaurant

Very amazing food! Food was authentic, and the people very friendly. The chef takes great pride in his food, and the local wines are fantastic here. It was an excellent experience. The food was very high quality and expertly prepared. Great times to be had here.

Great food, very local feeling and tasting. Two people in the kitchen and two people waiting on a full house does not happy customers. Be patient and you'll be rewarded with tasty, lovingly prepared regional foods and treats.

good food, good service, helpful and friendly staff all made for a very pleasant evening on the sidewalks of Dijon. An excellent stop for an excellent local meal when in Dijon - Thanks, Leon!
