Fodor's Expert Review Origine

This upscale eatery is one of the top restaurants in town, with the sleek, pared-down dining room preparing inventive, but not offbeat, dishes using prime ingredients and showcasing seasonal vegetables, plants, and flowers. The tempting prix-fixe menus feature dishes with a stunning harmony of textures and flavors, each one gorgeously plated. The "Surprise" lunchtime menu (€39, served weekdays only) gives you an insight into the chef's talents while the "Nature Gourmand" menu (3 courses for €95; 4 courses €125) is for ardent foodies. The chef, originally from Tokyo, worked in some of the top kitchens in Burgundy before he took the plunge and opened his own establishment here in Dijon.
