3 Best Restaurants in Nuits-St-Georges, Burgundy

Located right in the middle of the charming village of Gevrey-Chambertin, this 18th-century stone mansion features a gastronomic restaurant, a bistro, and nine smartly decorated rooms. Diners are drawn here by the cozy, chalet-style decor (think plank floors and wooden beams), the spot-on service, and the stellar cuisine that takes terroir dishes to new gastronomic heights. Traditional Burgundy dishes are given a complete makeover, such as snails in a foamy sauce topped with garlic flowers; hand-cut steak tartare with ginger, grated hazelnut, and clover leaves; and pork loin prepared by the in-house butcher. Table d'Hôtes, the gourmet restaurant, offers €62 lunch and €102 dinner prix-fixe menus while the bistro Lucien on the ground floor offers a trimmed-back menu and an outdoor terrace.

If you're tired of hearty Burgundian classics, just follow savvy locals to this stylish little restaurant on the town's main street. Its creative menus include market-inspired dishes.

Vosne-Romanée, the greatest wine village on the côte, also entices with one of the most charming restaurants in Burgundy. The menu changes four times a year and is replete with succulent local dishes (picture farm-reared capon, Charolais beef stew braised for 12 hours in Pinot Noir, and tarte Tatin).
