Bougainville

User Rating: **** 4.0

Fodor's Review:

One of the few affordable restaurants in this well-heeled town is in an old house with a fireplace in the dining room and the requisite Burgundian color scheme of brown, yellow, and ocher. Philippe Guillemard presides in the kitchen, turning out such regional favorites as hare stew, crayfish, escargot ragout in chardonnay sauce, and venison with chestnuts. He has also devised a vegetarian menu -- a rarity in Burgundy -- with deeply satisfying dishes like terrine of Époisses cheese and artichokes.

On the way to the cathedral

Posted by BB from Baton Rouge on 10/30/06

This was a nice little restaurant on the street leading to Ste Madeleine. Nothing special in the way of decor or ambience, but the service was friendly and food good. The assortment on the cheese tray was excellent.
