Ferme de la Ruchotte’s selection of the best fine dining restaurants in Blingy, France
Caves Madeleine
Located less than 12 mi from Bligny sur Ouche, this is one of the best gourmet restaurants in the Ouche Valley. The restaurant proposes simple, no frills dishes with a divine wine selection. Caves Madeleine welcomes you in the heart of Beaune, offering a menu featuring high-quality local products in a friendly and warm setting. Every day - except Wednesday and Sunday - Chef Martial Blanchon carefully creates wonderful dishes with passion and often features traditional Burgundian dishes.
Le Lassey - Château Sainte Sabine
In Sainte-Sabine, the fine dining restaurant Lassey is located in the courtyard of a 16th century castle, overlooking the medieval village Châteauneuf-en-Auxois. Surely one of the best restaurants in the Ouche Valley, a meal at Lassey is a "feast your eyes" even before it reaches your taste buds. Chef Benjamin Linard, originally from Burgundy, revisits the region’s traditional dishes through inventive menus. His daily menu relies heavily on ingredients fresh from the market to create delicious recipes.
Le 1131 - Abbey of la Bussière
Counted among the best gourmet restaurants in the Ouche Valley, the Michelin Star restaurant 1131 is located in the Abbey of la Bussière. This small 12th century Cistercian abbey is located in the heart of the Côte d’Or, just 15 minutes from Bligny sur Ouche. This fine dining establishment offers high-end traditional cuisine, which highlights fresh, seasonal and local products. Chef François Pelletier also works as an apiculturist, producing honey from the abbey’s bees.
Bistrot des Moines
A go-to address for local foodies, the Abbaye of la Bussière also hosts an old-fashioned bistro: the Bistrot des Moines. An ode to grandma’s cooking and the Burgundy terroir, this restaurant in the Ouche Valley has generously portioned meals served in a charming and friendly setting. The Chef prepares family style dishes imbued with the taste of childhood memories - slowly simmered stews, freshly caught fish, seasonal fruit tarts and much more.
Le 428
Between gourmet and casual, calm and charming, Le 428 in Savigny-lès-Beaune is one of the best fine dining restaurants near Bligny-sur-Ouche. Chef Christophe Ledru proposes stunningly plated, high quality dishes, which can be admired both visually and in terms of taste. Great Burgundian classics are brought to their glory thanks to fresh seasonal products and exceptional wines.
Le Charlemagne
Located less than half an hour from Bligny-sur-Ouche, the gourmet restaurant Charlemagne sublimates Burgundy and its riches, in an elegant and original setting, where the Burgundian vineyards are omnipresent. Sensitivity of energies, creativity and rigor are the key words of Chef Laurent Peugeot. Inherited from four years spent in the land of the rising sun, his preparations often mix cultures, French and Japanese in particular, which cohabit deliciously in his plates.
