SPICA

The booking process is a little hectic and you must commit your credit card. Apart from that it’s smooth sailing all the way. I did enjoy it. The food is out of this world, beautifully presented and had tastes that up to now I have not fully placed, exotic mixed with French with a dash of far east kitchen to it. My taste buds were wonderfully confused and excited. This is a must do again place. I love it. The is only one menu so no worry about selection just pick the wine.

Daily menu to showcase seasonal produce, prepared with imagination and care. Balanced and exciting flavours. Great service, nice ambiance, very reasonable prices given the quality of the food, it's preparation, and its presentation. Holder of a Bib Gourmand Michelin award.

I had always wanted to eat at a Michelin Star restaurant, today i was finally able to do so, not because I am earning more money but because it was very inexpensive in comparison to other places ive seen, 26 euros for the lunch menu. The food generally speaking was very delicious and very well made. Just some remarks, I had never had chicken so well cooked, moisty, perfectly seasoned, and tender. The cheesecake mousse might be indeed the best dessert ive had, incredible. With my completely average joe tasting abilities and experience not having dined at french restaurants or fancy places before, i would say it was pretty pretty good, maybe not the best food ive ever tried in my life, but very delicious. Would really recommend it!

I was one of about 20 visitors for lunch today, and i could not have asked for a better dining experience. The food was exquisite: beautifully, delicately prepared, unpretentious, delicious, with some nice surprises. The unannounced amuse-bouche, a celery reduction with olive oil (if i got that right) was creamy, quite subtle and left a light, unctious souvenir. I had the poireaux vinaigrette as entrée, which was a combination i had never imagined, but an exercise in perfect balance. The plat principal of poulet désossée was, to echo the main theme of the meal, simple and unpretentious but perfectly executed. I skipped dessert but had the cheese trio, which was delicious. The service was flawless, and the ambience very comfortable. Many thanks to the Spica ensemble. I'll come back (from Germany).

First time we’ve been to Spica and we will definitely be back. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is outstanding. Quality food at a more than reasonable price. The flavours of the food were unreal. Can’t wait for our next visit.

Came here after finding this in the Michelin Guide. I almost exclusively go to restaurants in the Bib Gourmand category as I find they cook inventive, interesting food. Really wanted to like this place as it seemed to be run by two women - one in the kitchen and one on the floor - but the food is home style at best, without the usual polish or interest that I would expect from a Bib restaurant. The service was functional, not friendly. I'm really sorry to say this as it felt like a small, family run restaurant but I didn't enjoy my meal there. The dishes lacked clarity in direction. My entree was a prawn risotto with cheese crisp and peas, and I found the flavours confusing - seafood and cheese? The rice was overcooked, not al dente. Good wine list though, with solid, well priced options by the glass. The cheese plate was also disappointing - the waitress couldn't even name all the cheeses, and the three cheeses served were all semi-soft so the plate lacked variety and dimension. Food took ages to arrive - over two hours. Not sure what was going on here as there were a total of 12 diners in the restaurant all evening, but they were turning away customers - I can only assume they were short staffed on this occasion.

We had a very nice meal: a lovely restaurant, very good food, fair prices. But there is a 'but': it wasn't wow, wasn't memorable, it did not sparkle. The dishes lacked the fine level of sophistication, the extra special moments where unique texture and well balanced spice highlights create the 'incredible' rating; service was good but not from the heart and not really oozing hospitality.

A must visit for Dijon! And you MUST book as it was full and people were turned away. The set menu is 40 euros without drinks, if you have the cheese board for dessert it's 3.75 euros extra. Both starters were fantastic! (I tried my boyfriend's too!) The cremant fizzy wine was lovely, 7 euros a glass, and white wine and cassis, kir, is a similar price. They have beers as well as wine. It would be good to have more soft drinks on the menu. The "piglet" main was really tender and served with some tasty vegetables that ressembled mini turnips and the tastiest mushrooms you have ever tried, "pieds des moutons", the waitress said. The staff are really attentive woth cheerful quick service. You'll need to let the restaurant know when you book if you are vegetarian, as there isn't another option so I don't know whether this is accommodated. The bergamot sorbet was exquisite! The place was relaxing, with nice music but low enough for a good chat. A clean unisex toilet too with thick toilet roll, a nice touch.
