RESTAURANT ET CAVEAU DE LA PORTE GUILLAUME HOTEL DARCY
One of the oldest hotels in Dijon and a refined table.
The slogan of the restaurant of the Guillaume door carries its name «gastronomy at a soft price»: indeed, the variety of the proposed card did not influence prices. Present on the square for more than 150 years, enjoying an enviable situation, overlooking Darcy Square, the chef does not hesitate to propose both traditional Burgundian recipes and to engage in more creative proposals. All dishes are made on site from raw products and by large professionals only. Here you can't start your meal without melting for one of the many gastronomic entries like the fatty liver of home duck and its fig chutney. Flavours that go so well together! As far as the dish is concerned, you choose fish (according to batch) or meat, and several proposals are available to you. We strongly recommend the tournedos of Scottish salmon to the juice of sausage accompanied by vegetables with olive oil. Think of the local Dishes menu if you want to eat exclusively Burgundian. And for dessert, the classics are unforgettable, especially with the miroir mirror. The restaurant is also a cellar, and you will be offered wine tastings carefully selected. Nice place.

Each time I spent in front, this restaurant aroused my interest. The weather appeared rather chic without being too pompous. The delicious cuisine appeared. On the outside menu, you understand that mostly local dishes. The prices à la carte vary. The menus are very affordable with the view of the setting and the dishes on offer. €23 for starter and main course or main course and dessert and 28€ for starter/main course and dessert. Wine tasting menu at €21.
One is tempted. View from the outside, the room seems chic, clean, friendly. You will pass the door of the lobby of this beautiful hotel restaurant overlooking Place Darcy, usually animated.
A receptionist us request we reserved. No. It then invites us to dine in the wine cellar in the basement. That is not bad tent. The vaulted cellar is nice, bright, clean and the music is decent. You could almost not pay attention to sounds.
In this wine bar, there are mainly tourists. The buildings know that in Dijon it is advisable to book tables in this type of restaurant.
The waiter (sommelier I suppose) is extraordinary. It is very polite, discreet and very funny. Thanks to him, we are immediately at ease. All services, it was wonderful.
The wine list is fabulous. The prices are not exorbitant.
In plato será coq au vin.
For dessert: chocolate mousse and lemon and mirror cassis
The coq au vin was very good but...
The sauce was excellent.
Fresh bread.
However, the meat was not enough to tend and I inopportunely crunched too a large number of short periods of bone which cut me in my gourmet pleasure.
The person who completed me also found tender meat enough, uncooked too quickly. On the other hand, it did not have problems with small pieces of bone which pulled here and there in the dish.
The 2 potatoes that accompanied the plate were not cooked.
Personally, I would have been to find some vegetables in my cuisine, whether carrots, leeks or even the beans dishes. It does not matter to tell the truth. To accompany these good 2 pieces of meat.
The desserts are excellent. The moss was not disgusting and its creamy texture rather surprising. It was not too sweet but missed chocolate. The idea of the small pieces of lemon is very good. It was also a delicious dessert rather successful.
The mirror of cassis was also very successful. I can not say longer in order not to reveal the subtlety of this dessert, because no, it is not a mirror to usual cassis.
As a whole, we spend a pleasant time and we already think of returning to this address in order to try the main dining room of this restaurant.
Not very original menu: classics: parsley ham etc...
(sinon Plat + dessert = 23,50 €, mais dans ce cas pas assez copieux). Restaurant bourguignon très bien situé, attention en soirée il est complet : il faut probablement beaucoup patienter pour avoir une table. Nous avons donc préféré nous y rendre pour le déjeuner et de ce fait nous avons profité du calme et du service irréprochable.
