Auberge Larochette - Bourgvilain

We came here to have a dinner, but received michelin stars really great dinner. Very cozy, food is delicious, atmosphere is great.

We have been to this restaurant many times over the last 30 years and it has changed proprietors now and again. Since Nicolas Guillaume took over it has made a leap forward. The menu is inspired while staying with its roots in Burgundy, and that is true for entrees, mains and desserts. The welcome is always friendly and Jean Michel knows his wines! We will be back!

This is an excellent restaurant tucked away in a village away the main routes which is well worth seeking out. We ate here on several occasions under the former ownership, but this was our first visit to the restaurant under the new owners Céline and Nicolas who are doing an first class job. I had the terroir menu with the most delicious entrecôte Charolais, cooked bleu as ordered. I was astounded I was able to eat the amount of meat - about 350g! - but without an entrée it wasn't hard. The cheese platter was comprehensive although a goat cheese was the only local cheese and the dessert was a magnificent warm soufflé with mirabelles. My wife much enjoyed her aubergines entrée. Her canard was a little tough, perhaps the result of not resting enough after cooking... but improved after a few moments. She also had the soufflé. The service is impeccable, the wine list extensive (we had an excellent Givry premier cru). A very fine dining experience. Bravo!

Fine dining without being over the top ; varied menu, using local produce, with dishes worthy of a starred restaurant. The staff are friendly and helpful. Not too big and lovely décor. Really worth the visit – you won’t be disappointed !

We were staying overnight in a local Bed and Breakfast place in Majard and the owner booked a table for us in this restaurant. Oh my goodness what a fantastic meal. It was the best meal we had had in France in our 3 weeks travelling around (and we had lots good ones). Unfortunately we were the only people in the restaurant, not sure why although it was mid-week. They had lit a fantastic fire and pulled our table up close as it had turned chilly. My husband had snails to start and then ray, I had the veal and we both had fabulous desserts plus little chef's tasters. We were amazed at the final price, it was so reasonable for such high quality and the maitre D' was top class. Could not praise highly enough.
