Gourmet weekend in Burgundy: a gastronomic break with a twist
A chef’s dinner served directly in your tiny house, chambre d’hote or gite rental near Beaune to sample the home cooking of Les Cabottes.
Trained at the Institut Paul Bocuse, Alexane is not only the owner of the restaurant, she’s also the chef. Pastries, stews and other delicacies are served from breakfast to dinner in authentic vintage wicker baskets. Alexane works closely with local producers in the vicinity of Les Cabottes, and takes great pleasure in cooking tasty seasonal produce every day into delicious dishes. The meat for the bœuf bourguignon comes from the Bazin farm, the vegetables from the Epicerie Paysanne, the flour for the homemade bread from the Cérès farm in Gevrey-Chambertin… In short, the authentic cuisine of Les Cabottes is ultra-local, proudly inspired by the culinary traditions of Burgundy with its famous stewed beef and chicken Gaston Gérard, always cooked with local produce. But it’s also an inventive cuisine that knows how to break the rules to surprise its gourmet guests and create a great culinary experience beyond the night (it seems that the vanilla pumpkin soup is a hit every winter!).
Bistro or gourmet restaurant: our favourite restaurants in the Burgundy gastronomy valley
Between the Côte-d’Or and Saône-et-Loire regions, Burgundy is undoubtedly a gourmet destination with no shortage of good restaurants and a fine representation of French gastronomy. From market cuisine (La Table du Square in Beaune, Le Soufflot in Meursault, L’Ouillette in Santenay…) to Michelin-starred restaurants (the beautiful Maison Lameloise in Chagny, Les Terrasses by the emblematic chef Jean-Michel Carrette in Tournus, Maison Doucet in Charolles, La Côte Saint-Jacques in Joigny…), there are some lovely addresses offering excellent regional cuisine to suit all tastes and budgets if you want to extend your gourmet stay outside the Cabottes.
In the heart of one of France’s most beautiful vineyards, try your hand at Burgundy wine tasting in our beautiful vaulted cellars.
Between the Côte de Beaune and the Maranges, Les Cabottes is ideally situated in the Burgundy vineyards. Keen to offer their guests the very best, Alexane & Felix have been (and still are!) touring the nearest wineries to select their favourite vintages and build up a fine wine list available on the premises or to take away. To discover them, all you have to do is follow Felix’s guide, a graduate in oenology, around a tasting of wines that give a good overview of the region’s delights and traditions. From white Chardonnay to red Pinot Noir, Crémant with its fine bubbles and even rosé for warm summer evenings, Burgundy abounds in an oenological palette that we invite you to discover through an initiatory journey in our 18th century vaulted cellar.
In short, to transform a classic Burgundy hotel stay into a truly epicurean experience, you need :
– An unusual night in Burgundy full of charm in one of our tiny house rentals
– A chef’s dinner to delight you with French cuisine brought up to date and showcasing regional produce
– A tasting of wines selected with passion to help you discover the nuggets of our favourite winemakers (if you don’t know the Maranges wine yet, now’s your chance!).
