Restaurant Chez Léon

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.

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.

Typical bistro affair with regional dishes and dessert, e.g. beef bourguignon, egg in red wine sauce, tartare tartin etc. The classic dishes are spot on in taste. Daily specials written on the black board are also worth checking out. They have a "Burgundy menu" which is catered towards visitors.

Got here right at 7pm. We didn’t have a reservation and were seated right away. It fills up fast, so we recommend coming right when they open for a chance to get seated. We highly recommend getting the Léon-style Bauf Bourguignon. The beef was so tender and succulent. The sauce had a lot of depth and was well seasoned. Highly recommend that dish.

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.

Our dining experience at Chez Léon in Dijon, France was nothing short of magnificent. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance promised an evening of romance and exquisite dining. The hand-written wine list was a testament to the personal touch they imbue in every aspect of their service, offering a selection of delectable wines that perfectly complemented each course. The escargot was a dance of flavors, while the steak and chicken dishes were executed to perfection, showcasing the chef’s prowess in blending traditional and contemporary culinary arts. Every bite was a symphony of taste, elevating the dining experience to new heights. The staff at Chez Lyon exudes professionalism and warmth. Their proficiency in English ensured communication, enhancing our comfort and enjoyment throughout the evening. In the heart of Dijon, Chez Lyon stands as a beacon of fine dining, marrying impeccable service, a romantic atmosphere, and culinary masterpieces that promise an unforgettable experience. A must-try for anyone seeking to indulge in the epitome of French cuisine.

Warm and welcoming restaurant. Lovely wine list with options for all price points. Nice to have bottle or pitcher options too. Escargot and foie gras top notch. Steak and chicken so perfectly cooked and desserts worth feeling stuffed for. Would highly recommend and return.

Best ​​Escargot I have ever tried. I come here for Beef bourguignon, very satisfied. I hope I get a chance to come back and try other menu.

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!
